Football

Well, this is Eric again. I was happy to see the Giants win. Yes, I'll say it again. I was happy to see the Giants win. Some of you may think wow, this guy is happy the Giants, the division rival of the Cowboys, the team that beat the Cowboys in the 2nd round of the playoffs, etc etc; he is happy they won? Indeed. I like the storylines. I'm irritated with the Patriots' egos on the defensive side of the ball. I appreciate Plaxico Burress...A LOT. Eli...well he is Eli. It is nice to see the little brother win it all. The best comment during the game by the commentators is a from a conversation between Eli and Payton...
Eli asks: Do you have any advice for me before the big game?
Payton replies: I think you are past advice from me.

This is great. I am happy people will be off his back. He is his own player. Payton would never have escaped the pass rush on the game winning drive like Eli did on that miracle of a third down play. That was amazing. Tony Romo-esque.

For me picking who I wanted to win was more of picking the lesser of two evils. Sure the Giants defensive line irritates me...particularly one of their more vocal guys...But overall, I'm glad Tom Brady will no longer be Mr. Perfect and people will quit having their man-crushes on him. Eli and his boys deserve their credit for being the ones to slay the beast.
