NFL Super Bowl XLVI recap, legacies, & spy gate
First of all, congratulations to the World Champion New York Giants on their hard fought and well earned victory over the valiant New England Patriots. Even though my pick, the Patriots lost, the game was awesome. I think that this was one of the best Super Bowls ever. Related posts:

Giants pass catchers present challenges
By Paul KenyonWhen the Giants beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII four years ago, Eli Manning was throwing passes to a totally different group of receivers than he will have Sunday night at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Supe and Nuts
Here are some miscellaneous thoughts as we head into Super Bowl XLVI.
1) A few days ago Glenn wrote a piece in praise of the work of Bill Belichick. I have admiration for the DC that brought us XXI and XXV. I did comment though that we need to be reminded about the cheating that took place, especially Francesa's BLUNT reporting that both Faulk and Warner (XXXVI) knew that...

Amani Toomer Says the Patriots’ Three Super Bowls Need an Asterisk (Audio)
Amani Toomer is not the first person to say that the three Super Bowls the Patriots won are tainted because of Spygate. He won’t be the last to say it, either. Many people have said the Patriots have to prove they can win a championship without videotaping opponents’ signals, whether videotaping led directly to their wins in Super Bowls 36, 38, and 39 or not. There are...

Amani Toomer told NBC SportsTalk that Eli won his 1st SB without having Jeremy Shockey
Earlier tonight, former Giants WR great Amani Toomer told NBC SportsTalk that Eli Manning won his first super bowl without having to deal with Jeremy Shockey.
He said Jeremy Shockey would pressure Eli Manning of giving him the football a lot and clearly Eli Manning looked relaxed when he was hurt in the 2007 season.
I agree with what Amani Toomer has said about Jeremy Shockey...

NY Giants 31 Dallas 14
The Giants swept the Dallas Cowboys and took the NFC East! And more importantly, we saw Coughlin's Coordinators use more fundamentally solid gameplans in setting up the win. We do not want to get TOO excited just yet, but there is something here to be very positive about with respect to the Giants' playoff chances.
Generally we use a format of the Good/Bad/Ugly, but for...

The Giants’ offense is going like gangbusters. With three games to go, QB Eli Manning has already set the team’s single-season high for passing yards (4105) and for the first time in team history the Giants have two 1,000-yard receivers: Victor Cruz (1159) and Hakeem Nicks (1014). One or both have a shot at shattering Amani Toomer‘s club record of 1343 set in 2002...
