Well I've always been a bit of a sports nut. I remember being young and watching the Red Sox, Giants, Knicks, and Syracuse games with my Dad. Many of my obsessive compulsive tendencies were born during the Knicks many playoff games against the Bulls and the Heat. I'd elaborate on this but it's hard to put into words and you'd all think I'm crazy. Suffice to say I used to, and perhaps some of me still does, believe that my actions, or in some cases my lack of action, can determine the outcome of a sporting event. Syracuse doing bad? Well maybe I'll leave the room for a few minutes and see what happens. Ah, they went on a 8 point swing, I must be bad luck. Maybe I shouldn't watch the rest of the game. Oh man - Eli just threw a pick in the red zone. It's probably because I've been too boastful in my blog. I should've left all the "Go Giants" stuff out of my last few posts.
I knew going into this Super Bowl that it was all about remaining humble and embracing the Giant's underdog status. Plus all us Giants fans knew what no one else did - the way to beat the Patriots is to play smash mouth football, which happens to be a mainstay of all Giants teams. When they started off the first drive running the ball up the middle, with Brandon Jacobs running over linebackers, I knew we were on the right track.
Well this win ranks right up there - number three on my list. Number two goes to Syracuse winning the NCAA Championship in 2003. Number one was the Red Sox winning the World Series in 2004. I am not ashamed to say that I cried at the end of that game.
