Hey, didn't I call it?


Like his brother last year, Eli was named the Super Bowl MVP as the Giants shocked the world (and the TransGriot) by beating the previously unbeaten New England Patriots 17-14 in a monumental upset.
The Giants defense did channel the Steel Curtain. They sacked Tom Brady five times and harrassed him all night. The Giants front four spent as much time in the New England backfield as Brady did.
I was hoping for a good game, and it exceeded my expectations. It was probably the best Super Bowl I've watched since the 2000 St. Louis-Tennessee one.
There's another group of people who think it was a great game as well. Coach Don Shula and the members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins.
In what has become a tradition for them, when the last unbeaten NFL team has lost, they open a bottle of champagne. They had to wait until after the Super Bowl this year, but that champagne cork got popped along with the Patriots dreams of a perfect season.
