I’ve been a NY Giants fan since I played Freshman football in High School back in 1970 – I wore the number “43” of Spider Lockart<\/a>, Giant’s safety for ten years until he retired and later died of cancer. But I’ve never been able to watch a game – they lost every game I ever watched. So it was in support of their longshot Superbowl chances I ignored that game last night – and it paid off<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history, New York shattered New England’s unbeaten season 17-14 Sunday night as Mr. Manning hit Plaxico Burress on a 13-yard fade with 35 seconds left. It was the Giants’ 11th straight victory on the road and the first time the Patriots tasted defeat in more than a year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, congratulations to my Giants from their fan who sacrifices everything so they can win.
\nBy the way, the Giants have only lost one Superbowl. Betting against them is fairly stupid.<\/p>\n

And an NFC victory portends a Republican President in November.<\/p>\n
