Well they did it. They did what few people thought they could do. They defeated the New England Patriots, and in doing so, overcame destiny. The New York Giants are your Superbowl Champions.And what a way to win. On the drive that literally defined the whole game, Eli Manning stepped out of his brother's shadow and began his own legend. Breaking out of the grasp of two defenders to throw up a ball that in all honesty looked like it should have been dropped but for the determination of Tyree to hold on to that damn thing. Just one play, but a magnificent play, that led to Eli connecting with Plaxico for the winning touchdown.
But with a glorious win for the Giants comes a crushing defeat for the Patriots. An historical season brought to a bitter end. Throughout the regular season the Patriots dominated most of their opponents, or had things go their way that would really make you think it was their destiny to go 19-0. But while destiny had brought them to the big show, it couldn't win it for them.
Congratulations to the New York Giants, Superbowl Champions, 2008.

I heard about this on the radio and was flabbergasted - what a shock after the Pats have dominated for so long! (My brother will be happy, he hates those guys - He's a Philly fan)
Ah! An Eagles fan! Nice. I don't much care for the Eagles :D I just don't like Donovan McNabb.
Do you yourself follow the NFL as well?
