Archie's Jugheads
So Much.
So much comes to mind. Puns and pundits. I told you so's and oh my godz. I actually saw a red state-blue state breakdown earlier in the day that showed
New York, Indiana, Florida and Louisiana as the only states that thought that The Giants were bigger than Hype. Really, Indiana as a blue state? Colts Blue maybe, Giants Blues. Sure. I see it now. Capable of winning over the Patriots. The Team of Destiny, the house that Jack-ass built! The guru of the game plan. The captain of competition, the bastard Bela-Cheats. The odds on favorite to win it all stepped into a big pile of any given Sunday! A better game plan and a better execution beat all the odds. A 14 to 16 point spread in Vegas that has made a bunch of people very happy. A 55 points over/under that saw only 31 points total making even more people bet happy. Ohhh. I need to hurry out and buy my ugly sleeveless red sweatshirt. I believe I heard that this final drive was 5 seconds shorter that Joe Montana's 49er's come from behind SB win about a hundred years ago, to set another Manning family record and Super-Bowl record. What? You want Records? The Giants are first NFC Wild-Card team to win the Championship. The Giants are the only team in NFL history to go 11-0 as a visiting team. The Manning boys are the only brother combo to win back to back NFL Championship's and MVP's, and only the third NFL brother combo ever to both win a NFL Championship.
While pretty boy Tommy thought he was
Running Down a Dream Eli and The Giants said I Won't Back Down. 5 sacks and several rushes and hurries later Tommy Boy was Free Falling and playing like Chris Farley, and would have been better off with a very impregnated supermodel in a Van down by the Arizona Canal! This was one of the best Championship Games I have ever seen and I have seen them all. 1 through 42.
So maybe next year the MVP brothers can go head to head in the Championship Game! Archie and Olivia, Oreo's and commercial dynasties! I can see it all.
I said I had puns?

Manning the guns!
1 - 2 PUNCH!
Oh Brother Where Art Thou!
Eli's Not Coming, He has Arrived!
XLI,XLII... XLIII?
Big Brother is Watching!
and finally ... Eli made Tom look Petty!

So I close with this. The NFL history highest season scoring team could only manage 14 points when the near-perfect season was on the line, and superstars and pro-bowl starters played like there were covered by a blanket of Moss. The 2007 Championship team sends an NFL record low 1 player to the Pro-bowl this year, no Champ team has been less represented in Hawaii before. Go Giants. Maybe next Year, Manning Bowl!!!
