I second that. Remember Super Bowl XXV, NY Giants v. Buffalo Bills. In that game the Giants could not stop the Hi Powered Bills offense but they contained it, not only with their defense but also with their clock chewing, ball control rushing attack. History has a nasty tendency to repeat itself.

About 95% of the people I speak to would play on the team for league minimum if it meant that could just be a part of the legacy.

I think that the Giants will come out with a suffocating defense, control the clock offensively, and win the game in a squeaker.

I don't think the Pats will cover the spread.

Never really been a big Giants fan before but the wife's uncle is a coach on the team so I'm a fan by default...with that said, I think the Giants have a great chance of winning. They've played better in the second half the season than the first half; they are 10-0 on the road; Eli has not made many mistakes in the past 4 games, even against the Pats. The only worry that I have with the Giants is their secondary. If the Giants DB's and LB's can contain the Pat's awesome receiver crew, then the Giants can definitely win.
GO GIANTS!!!

That was probably the best Superbowl I've seen in a while. Great game 
(then again this is the first I've seen in a while)

I must say, I wanted the Giants to win from the start but I thought they pretty much lost the chance when Brady scored with 2+ minutes remaining. I need to have more faith in the underdogs.
Definitely the best superbowl...best football game period I've ever seen.
