That screaming you heard? That was us!

THE GIANTS BEAT THE PATS, THE GIANTS BEAT THE PATS!!!!

As you may have guessed we were rooting for the Giants in the Superbowl. Amy came over bringing sustenance of cheese dip, veggies and dip and ooey, gooey brownies! We gathered downstairs in front of the TV to graze and watch football, the great American past time. We were quite enthusiastic through the 1st quarter, bored through the 2nd, I almost fell asleep through the 3rd and then the most exciting 4th quarter happened. When the Pats scored their final touchdown I thought the game was over. Cynical Amy told me to have faith(this coming from a woman who hates everything Manning but hates everything Patriots more). We watched, we screamed, we threw up our hands at the TV. "Come on, you totally should have made that catch! I could have made that catch!" LOL. As the 2 minute warning came I had to look away at the start of each play. I prayed to the Lord(yes the Lord totally watches football and I think he likes rooting for the underdog). Then a wonderful thing happened, Eli avoided a sack, they gained yardage and the Giants scored a touchdown! OMG! It was amazing. The Giants held the Pats off in those last 45 seconds to win the Superbowl! So much for that perfect season Pats! HA!

It was magical moment. I did not cry as I did after the Steelers won Superbowl 40 and The Bus could retire on a high note but I think it is amazing that Eli won't have to live in his brother's shadow. He now has a ring of his very own. Oh and Tom Brady, put that in your pipe and smoke it!
