Wrap It Up

"the Giants will win" - Me, Friday, February 1st, 2008

Remember this little day last week when everyone started calling me insane? Who's laughing now world?

Three short days after this fateful prediction, I, and the New York Giants, stand atop the world as the kings of I-Told-You-So Mountain. And they did it exactly as I predicted it would be. The Giants debilitating pass rush brought Tom Brady to his knees, forced him to make the worst throws of the season, and reveal his status as a mortal man. The Giants stepped it up when it mattered on offense. Manning played the drive of his life with two minutes to go, hitting David Tyree with the play of the decade, and then Plaxico Burress for the go-ahead touchdown with half a minute left.

Sure, the Pats had time left, we'd seen it before, with 35 seconds left, it was Tom Brady's to lose. Not this time New England faithful. The second Manning found Burress in the end zone this one was over, and the Giants defense let them know it.

First down - Deep pass broken up
Second down - Sacked for loss of ten
Third down - Deep pass broken up
Fourth down - Deep pass broken up
Checkmate

The biggest upset of the season? Undoubtedly. Biggest upset of the past 10 or 15 years? Definitely. Biggest upset in NFL history? Probably. That's just how great this was, and the game was just good enough to make it absolutely amazing.

New York Giants are the Super Bowl Champions.

The New England Patriots are 18-1.

Believe it.
