well we've all been here before .. the monday morning after the superbowl and the score was 97 to 3 and the game was such a letdown .. it's no wonder that superbowl sunday is probably the biggest incident of spousel abuse, overeating, and just plain showin your ass more than any other day of the year .. but every now and then the game actually lives up to everything we expect it to be .. and yesterday was one of those games .. the whole reason why we hold the superbowl in such high esteem .. because every now and then we get a game of the caliber that we got yesterday .. the kind of game that keeps you in your seat holding on wondering whats gonna happen next and the feeling that anyone can win this one ..this one was great .. win or lose whoever won it was a great game .. you couldn't ask for more .. on the one side stood the mighty patriots .. just their name alone stood for might, right , and everything we hold dear as americans .. what could be more noble than to be a patriot ?? undefeated and striving for perfection .. just one more game and they would go down in history as being perfect.. and on the other side stood the giants .. a rag tag bunch of guys who shouldn't have even been there.. they were only 10 and 6 .. they shouldn't have beaten the mighty cowboys .. must have been a fluke.. or the great green bay packers . both really great teams .. but they did .. they were wild cards and came through the toughest part of the nfc draw to get to the big game .. and now they stand before the patriots ( arguabley ) one of the greatest teams of all time .. except nobody told the giants they couldn't win .. nobody told them they weren't in the same class as the patriots .. if they told them they weren't listening .. nobody told them the pats were undeafeated and on the road to destiny .. if somebody wrote the script the giants weren't given a copy .. or was it simply that the giants were a much better team than anyone had given them credit for ?? there will be other games that will go down in history as great games .. but i doubt there will be any others that will be touted as a better game than the one we saw yesterday .. maybe if the pats had a chance to play the game over the outcome would have been different .. the pats are a great team and it's a shame they had to lose .. but it had to be done just to show that even the lowest team can sometimes win .. even when it appears to be a lock .. the pats did it to the rams in 2002 so it was bound to come back around again. but this one was just a little different because the pats were perfect.. until yesterday .. only a couple of superbowls come to mind when i think of great games .. the jets in 70 against the colts .. we all know that one .. and the rams in 81 against the mighty steelers .. the rams were 9 and 7 and again had no business being there and almost pulled off the upset that the giants did yesterday .. going into the 4th quarter they wre ahead 19 to 17 and were driving for another score when the wheels came off the wagon .. somehow the giants managed to keep their wheels on yesterday and not suffer the same fate as the 81 rams .. you say you don't remember the 81 rams ? well why should you ?/ they lost.. but the giants , they won .. and this one will go down as the superbowl we all remember .. al..
