I enjoyed last night's Super Bowl as much as any in recent memory. The game was great and I was amazed by the outcome. Any time a season ends with a Manning win or a Patriots loss, it has been a good season. Last night, we got both. SMA equated it to the Yankees losing to the Diamondbacks...or anyone else for that matter.
It was a story of redemption. The Giants lost more games in the first two weeks of the season than the Patriots did all year and yet they, not the Patriots are the world champions. All of the criticism that Eli Manning has incurred since his career began hopefully will subside some. Has anyone heard from Tiki Barber?
The word "upset" as it pertains to sports derived from a 1919 horse race in which a horse named Upset defeated the legendary Man o' War. Can an unforeseen failure at a crucial juncture be known as a "Patriot?" "Pulling a Brady?"
My only regret is that a Patriots loss means that the 1972 Dolphins still stand alone as the only undefeated team in NFL history. This would not be so bad except for the fact that Mercury Morris will continually be interviewed until the mark is shattered. For now, I will enjoy a Giant win rather than dwelling on the interminable Morris.
