A Giant Win!

Now I am a die hard Dallas Cowboy fan. I hated to see the Giants beat us in the playoffs. However, because I am a Cowboy fan I had to morph, if only for one game, in to the world's biggest Giant fan ! Because if any team is going to be the first to win it all, Dallas is destined to be that team. Besides, if three rings in four years was good enough for Tray Aikman it's good enough for Brady.

Then there's the father son/brothers story. Beginning with Archie, the tough as nails pint sized QB who always seemed to be cursed with horribly inept team mates. He played fifteen years for the Saints, Vikings and hopeless Houston Oilers. As good as papa Manning was, he never played in a Superbowl. As a matter of a fact, he even failed to get any of the teams he played for into the playoffs. Take some time to watch some old film of Archie and you will see the cruelest thing ever to happen to a football player, an incredible athlete with superb talent, forced to drag like a ball and chain, seriously awful teams. Now that both his sons have won the Superbowl, it seems the karma debt has been paid to old man Manning. It seems like a 'Thank You' from the league for putting forth such effort.

It was good to see Peyton watching his little brother follow in his footsteps and achieve the greatness their father fought so valiantly to attain. To know the Manning family, as well as we can though media, is to love them. Who wasn't pulling for them? Oh that's right......East Coast Libs!!! (Snicker)
