Giants 17, Patriots 14

The most beautifullest sports moment in my life. 8 grown men, jumping up and down in a modest middle class home in Brooklyn. Screaming. Yelling. Overjoyed.

It's the reason why we watch sports. It's the reason why we follow the team all year long. From draft day to the last game of the year.

I ran through the streets of Brooklyn holding my ELI MANNING jersey with no sneakers on.

We popped Champagne.

My 6 month old daughter wore the same Giant pijama's since the Buc game so now, they will be framed and hung on her wall. I may even consider going to a Giant autograph session and get them signed. Yes, it's that serious.

My voice, my heart, my eyes, my legs are all weary. But a good weary. I didn't mind giving up the 4 years off my life to witness this game.

The Catch II.

Big bro slapping his hands together, screaming gives me goosebumps for some reason.

Our fallen All Star TE, shattered leg an all crying in the locker room with the boys. The boys he loves.

Coach Coughlin finally getting some due...always was considered a very good coach but what he did with this team was remarkable. Spags too, as hot as an assistant in recent memory I hope he stays on board.

Elisha Norman Manning. A tremendous performance, he will forever be enshrined in NY lore. And let me tell you guys something. That's a hell of a place to be. This kid has taken so much shit since draft day and know he gets to wave around a jewel studded ring for eternity. Just a fantastic story.

I'll remember this for as long as I live. I can type forever about this game

I prefer to think of this as the Patriots not winning.

That was probably the single greatest play I have ever seen in a Super Bowl ... and I'm an Eagles fan for Christ's sakes!

i don't ever want to have a rooting interest in a championship again.

Unless its the Brewers.

The Rev said...

I'm only going to say this once...

Eli didn't win that game for the Giants, David Tyree did.

Without that catch, Eli loses the game.

Eli ought to buy him dinner every night for the rest of his life.

i'm disappointed in you for saying that rev, in fact it reeks of jealously
