Super Bowl

Super Bowl XLII ranks as one of the best super bowls in NFL history, but it's not getting the credit it deserves. It has been going around that this year's super bowl was extremely boring until the fourth quarter. All I have to know is what game they were watching, a re-run of the Steeler-Dolphin game earlier this year? From a great drive led by Eli Manning in the first quarter to a forced fumble by the Giants defensive line to essentially end the first half, this game was unbeleivable. Even as a Jet fan, I couldn't help but root for Big Blue to quite possibly the biggest upset of all time. When I watched the game from that standpoint, anything beneficial for the Giants, resulted in a unified cheer from the entire party that I was attending. How were the first three quarters not exciting when the Giants were able to subdue the undefeated Patriots to a mere seven points?

That point aside, how could a person could be from the tri-state area and not root for the G-Men. You're an Eagles fan, suck it up, do you really want to see the snobiest, most arrogant group of cheaters complete an undefeated season? Jet fans, you hate the Patriots the most out of every other kind of fan; that's shameful if you didn't root for the Giants. Finally, Patriot fans, don't make excuses because you can't. There were no lopsided calls in the Giants favor, the pass-defense just broke down in the fourth quarter, that's it. Don't even come back with, "We had one of the best seasons ever", but you didn't have the best because you went 18-1 and that one loss is the only one that matters. In history the Patriots will only be remembered for a super bowl loss from their 2007 season. So give it up for the Giants, they won the only game that mattered, the super bowl.
