GIANT upset (pun definitely intended)

unbelievable.

the new york giants beat the new england patriots to win superbowl 42. who saw that one coming? months ago when the colts lost to the patriots by a stupid 3-point margin, i decided that the patriots could make it all the way to the superbowl, but i swore that they would not win. lo and behold, i was right. up until the last quarter, i really had no interest in the game. both teams seemed to have nothing going for them, as evidenced by each team only having scored once. finally the game started getting interesting and it seemed the patriots were on their way to yet another victory. but then, from absolutely nowhere, eli steps up, avoids being sacked about 50 times and somehow manages to loft a throw that is caught by the receiver behind his head. from there, the giants were able to take the lead and eventually the win.

now, i am by no means a giants fan. in fact, i only ever rooted for them the other time they almost beat the patriots during the regular season. i didnt celebrate sunday that the giants won, rather i was just happy to see the patriots finally lose. poor tom brady looked like he was on the verge of tears throughout the entire 2nd half. too bad tom. at least you still date a supermodel!

finally, a word to bill belicheck: next time your team loses a game, have the common decency to stay on the field an extra two seconds to watch your team lose respectfully. how many other coaches have had to stand there and watch the patriots beat them in a game? it makes sense when fans of the losing side leave early, but youre the freakin coach!!!!!! how hard is it to stand there two more seconds, let them take the knee and then you can run away in shame to the locker room??? its that display of attitude that just makes me even more glad that they lost.
