I almost believed everything I had heard over the last two weeks that New England winning Super Bowl 42 was as sure a thing as the sun coming up in the morning. Not only did the New York Giants become the 2nd wild card team to defy the odds and win the Super Bowl, they did it by stopping the most consistent offense in the history of the NFL and they came from behind to boot 17-14.

It did my heart proud to watch Peyton Manning cheering on his brother, Eli, as the pair became the first brother combo to win Most Valuable Player honors in consecutive years.

As much as I would have enjoyed to see a perfect season, here's to the New York Giants who believed in themselves and stopped perfection in its tracks on the way to one of the most exciting super bowls in its 42 year history.
