Recapping a historic day

Congratulations to the New York Giants.

They granted me with a feeling I can't quite describe. An unbelievable happiness that I know was present in the stomach of almost every football fan across the nation.

They went out last night and put on a display unlike anything we have ever seen before. The "greatest offense of all time" was held to simply 14 points.

When asked about Plaxico Burress' 23-17 prediction, Tom Brady said "We're only scoring 17 points?"

No Tom, you are only scoring 14.

Plaxico not only predicted that the Giants would win, he caught the game-winning touchdown that sealed the deal and forever engraved him into football history. Unbelievably, it was later revealed that he did it all on a sprained MCL.

It's that kind of relentless dedication to the team that made the Giants the victors. Their defensive line completely obliterated the Patriots offensive line, a tribute to the attitude that Michael Strahan brought to this game. Brady was hit 16 times, more times than the amount of points they scored.

Tom Brady never gets hit. The intensity the Giants displayed in the trenches left me in awe. When the offensive front can't give the pretty boy all day to throw, then the Pats aren't all that scary. Their old men on defense can't get it done.

Thank you to Eli, Plax and the rest of the G-Men for not making the rest of this year all about the Patriots. You did us all a service.
