Giants Win The Super Bowl!

I’m not really a football fan. Matter of fact, I’m not really a sports fan. But, the Super Bowl is usually a big deal and every year I end up watching it. So, this year was no exception.

Once, long ago I was a pretty dedicated San Diego Chargers fan. I mean, usually you have to cheer for your home team, right? Well, there were times when I remember San Diegans cheering for say, the San Francisco 49ers, or the Dallas Cowboys. San Diego has had more losing seasons than I care to remember.

New England vs San Diego

So, a couple of weeks ago saw us San Diegans cheering for our Chargers against the undefeated (at the time) New England Patriots. And the Chargers turned what could’ve been a losing season into a playoff reality, winning 8 straight and a meeting with the undefeated New England Patriots.

The Chargers battled valiantly against the Patriots. It was a great game, but the Chargers came up short and New England moved on to the Super Bowl.

And since then I’d been secretly favoring the underdog New York Giants to win, even though all predictions and NFL experts pointed to the Patriots winning. And there was a lot of pressure for Tom Brady and team to make history and be the first team to have a perfect season at 19-0.

History Was Made Alright

Well, history was made alright, and it looks like Super Bowl XLII will go down as the biggest upset win in the history of the Super Bowl. What an incredible game! You have to give credit to Eli Manning and the New York Giants for pulling off a “Giant” upset.

Anyway, as I’ve said, I’m not much of a sports fan, but I feel some sense of closure in watching the Giants beat the Patriots, the same Patriots who beat the Chargers… what goes around comes around and last night it came around big time.

Congratulations to the New York Giants for making history and winning Super Bowl XLII.
