Woooooooooooooooooooooooo!

For those of you who follow the American Football and particularly New York's Football Giants, an amazing thing just happened! The Giants won the Super Bowl, defeating the ludicrously favored Patriots 17-14!


For those of you who don't follow football, it's hard to precisely describe the inexplicable-ness of this occurrence. And without the context of the Giants' struggles throughout the season, their improbable surge through the playoffs which lead up to the Super Bowl... all the angst about Eli (QB), the questions about Coughlin (Head Coach), the injuries to key players and the elevation of so many rookies to starting positions... without having followed them through all that, you probably couldn't understand what makes it so ridiculous.

All the things that go wrong in a football season seemed to go wrong for the Giants. Yet there they were in the Super Bowl against a Patriots who had seen everything go their way for the whole season.

And lo! They won! The Patriots didn't fall down, they played their best game, but the Giants were better tonight. And that makes it all the more impressive!

Goooooooo GIANTS!
