The 2012 Super Bowl is in the books and I’m finally finished writing. Took me long enough. (I was distracted by Puppy Bowl VIII.) So without further ado, here’s the season’s last edition of The Final Drive!(13-7) New York Giants 21(15-4) New England Patriots 17 This game started with almost as much drama as it finished with. The New England Patriots came out with strong defensive pressure, sacking Eli Manning twice on New York’s first drive and forcing a punt to give Brady the ball. Tom took that opening possession, dropped back to throw from his own endzone, and let a deep ball fly to absolutely no one while the Giants closed in for the hit. That correctly drew an intentional grounding flag, which from the endzone is grounds for a safety. So the Giants jumped to an early 2-0 lead and we were all flabbergasted.Continue reading "The Final Drive Super Bowl XLVI"

Now that the Giants have won the Super Bowl and Eli Manning was named the game’s MVP, it’s fun to look back at some of the things said before the season began.
If you follow fantasy football closely, you may recall that Eli’s draft stock fell after he failed to throw a touchdown in the preseason. The New York media strongly emphasized his preseason struggles, telling...

Love Eli? Rivalry’s What Rocks
Talk about reversal of fortunes.
Who’d a’ thunk at the start of NFL 2011 it’d be Manning-the-Younger (Eli) hoisting the hardware in February as opposed to Manning-the-Elder (Peyton), whose career would be teetering on the brink? Not many, and even fewer Giants’ fans and East Coast media.
The low expectations never seemed to faze the League’s new 4th Quarter phenom. Through...
Giants' resiliency pays off in win
Nobody knows if or when a Manning will play quarterback again inside Lucas Oil Stadium.
Even so, the New England Patriots and Tom Brady shouldn't want to face Eli Manning and his New York Giants again -- wherever the site may be.
Just like in Super Bowl XLII. Just like in Week 9 of the 2011 regular season. Manning's mastery over the Patriots continued Sunday with New York...

He was questioned and criticized for that, and _ shocking, right? _ it all became quite ...
Giants beat Patriots to win the Super Bowl
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Eli Manning and the Giants one-upped Tom Brady and the Patriots again, coming back with a last-minute touchdown to beat New England 21-17 Sunday night for New York's fourth Super Bowl title.
It was a rematch of the 2008 NFL championship, when Manning led New York past New England to ruin the Patriots' bid for a perfect season.
This was the first Super...

Not no way. Not no how. Win or lose tonight, Eli Manning is not even in the same breath as his older brother Peyton Manning.
I am absolutely amazed by how many people are actually saying this. It’s like they forgot how great Peyton is. Everyone is caught up in the moment, and I get that, but let’s get real. Eli Manning is not elite. Eli had one elite year. One year does...

There's no need for me to rehash all the ins and outs of last night's game. Sports Illustrated's website provides some great analysis and commentary if you're online, and ESPN is talking it to death if you're watching tv. All I will say is that I love my team, I love that they wanted to win, and I kinda love that it was the Patriots that they stuck it to. I will...
