Now the question is, how long until the perennially fickle (not the word I originally wanted to use) fans in NY turn on him again?
When does the team report in August?

When ESPN plays the clips from the New York phone-in radio shows, I'm just flabbergasted. I know I shouldn't be, but I am. How many teams win 2 Superbowls in 4 years? There are teams who never have a hope. Right now the Giants and Eli are in rarefied air.I actually laughed out loud when John Mara said, "Everyone knows that the best, most loyal fans are Giants fans!" Really? You mean the San Francisco Giants, right?

Nostradamus, is that you?As a die-hard Pats fan, I'm convinced the Giants will win. They have one major advantage: their WRs against our DBs. And that will rear its head in the 4th quarter. Our major advantage, namely GRONK!, is hobbled. So I had to vote for the Giants to win.

Giants in a landslide. Wasn't even close.
The Giants took advantage of the Pats' plethora of mistakes, the Giants made more mistakes, but they were lucky to get away with them. Welker had butter fingers and could not hold on to the ball, had he caught the damn ball... I'm 94% sure the Patriots would have came out on top eventually. Also, the horrible officiating was one-sided the entire game.
They had a chance to take advantage of the game and put more points up on the board but Brady underthrows Gronk on the pick. That Manningham catch was sick, and then the Patriots really couldn't recover. If only Welker caught the damn ball...ugh.
I feel for ya. I'd rather get blown out than lose a heartbreaker. Throw that ball to Welker 100 times, and he'll catch it 101. Brady lost it on the first play of the game. Those two points changed the entire dynamic of the game.
I'm probably in the minority, and I understand the opposing view, but I was glad to see the Giants score the TD for several reasons-
- I never like to take points off the board
- I give Brady a better chance to get into field goal range in 25 seconds than go 80 yards in 50 seconds
- The Pats backed into the bowl on a missed chip shot, and I'd hate to see anyone win the whole shebang the same way
If the Giants hadn't scored the touchdown, they could have run the clock down to 1 second before kicking a field goal.
From the Department of Am I That Bad at Arithmetic: I keep hearing that the Giants just won their second SB in 4 years; isn't it 5 years? They won Supe 42, other teams won #43, 44, and 45. Now they won #46. Isn't that 5 years, both wins inclusive? Or is dementia setting in already? (It wouldn't surprise me.)
They (we?) won after the 2007 season (SB played in 2008) and again yesterday (2011 season, SB played in 2012) so it's 4 years.

Next, and more interestingly, they referenced a site that stated that if they replayed the SB next week with the same 2 teams, the Pats would be favored by 2.5 points.

And I would bet on them.
Let's say for the sake of argument that today is your birthday. Would you say your last birthday was two years ago?
