Wow. I definitely did not expect the Giants to win, but I definitely didn’t expect the game to so entertaining and close. That was the best Super Bowl game I can remember.

The last Giants drive was amazing. It certainly won Eli Manning the MVP award. When he got away from the Patriots pass rush and made the crazy throw to David Tyree. It was such a great catch.

Even though Eli was great in the 4th quarter, it was the Giants defensive front that won the game for the Giants. They definitely tired as the game wore on, but Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora and Michael Strahan deserved the MVP just as much as Manning did.

One thing I love more than anything… I haven’t mentioned the Patriots once. They never established their offense and their defense played well, but didn’t shut the Giants down. The Giants controlled the game from the outset. That’s the most surprising thing for me. It seemed like Steve Spagnuolo and the Giants defense out game-planned the Patriots.

I’m so glad we don’t have to live the rest of our lives having to look back to the 2007 New England Patriots as the best team ever. They just can’t make that claim anymore. And I for one couldn’t be happier.

But this moment is for the Giants. They came out and played a fantastic game. It wasn’t a perfect game, but they were able to control both lines of scrimmage enough to win the game. Everything else was secondary.

Congratulations to the New York Giants… Super Bowl XLII Champions.
