Don’t you just love life!?!?!?!?!?!? I KNOW I DO!
What to say, what to say…
I figure I have 50 to 60 more years to go in this lifetime, knock on wood. I will never forget how I felt last night, how I feel now, for the rest of my life. I almost feel like I should just “retire” as a sports fan, because this is as good as it can ever possibly get. You always hear the cliche “Nobody can take our championship away from us” once it has been one. It’s true! The memories of this journey will last forever.
Seriously, what am I supposed to say? I’m a fan of the team that just pulled off the biggest upset in the history of sports, taking down an undefeated team for the ages, which is no more. For me, everything going forward is anti-climactic, except when I get to think about the Giants miracle run.
I never believed until Belicheater was walking off the field with time still on the clock. Even after the Plaxico TD, I was yelling at people in my apartment to settle down…
And then the guy from Penn State that Ryan wouldn’t shut up about, just violated Brady, reducing Mr. Perfect into throwing the ball 60 yards in the air into double coverage. I really still can’t believe this has happened.
And Eli Manning… ELI MANNING!!! Today’s world is so much about people screaming insults at each other, or trying to be as hateful and sensational as possible. Eli took so much abuse – from myself and all of my friends, and from everyone that has ever seen him play football – and he never got off the high road. He never stooped to our level, he just kept working hard, performed on stages that were supposed to be too big for little brother, delivered impossible results.
That play with David Tyree… (DAVID TYREE!!!) I have never seen anything like that in my life.
The Giants defense, in particular the D-Line… you ain’t so pretty no more Tommy Boy!
One man believed in Eli all along. His name is Khalid Salaam, who before the playoffs jokingly said “Eli Manning Super Bowl MVP.” Thank you Khalid! I do remember a few weeks ago Lang was being his bitter self, and he even said “You guys are acting like you won the Super Bowl…” Ooooooh, you better call in sick today. The hate from Salaam and Whitaker, as they cheered for Bill Simmons’ Patriots was a powerful aide to the timeless world champion GMEN.
But enough about them, as they fall by the wayside just like the “Greatest Team of All-Time.”
There was the drinking of the champagne in the house of Rubenstein. My friend’s fiance brought cupcakes with plastic Super Bowl rings to the party. I have my ring. LIFE IS AWESOME!
Thank to you everyone who sent congratulatory emails, facebook messages, text messages, voicemail messages, etc.
So, Kobe got a teammate… Lots of stuff from Holly coming if it’s not up already. You never have to hear about football again from me, unless I’m caught up in reminiscing about the greatest win in history of battle!
I will be late to work tomorrow cause I’ve got a PARADE to attend.
PHOTO UPDATES. Ben Osborne and I celebrate.
And a close-up of the victory cupcakes:

Idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perfection comes once in a lifetime and the Pats ain’t it!!!!!!!!!!!!
SAM, Love to you, son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
G-Men Baby.
Stayed up till 5AM (and was at work at 8.30) here in Brussels. And it was worth every second! Great, gripping game!
What a great great D-line.
A) That this post was written by the Ultimate Warrior and
B) That I am the happiest man alive, next to a Sir. S. Rubenstein.
A group of warriors adorned in blue
will slay a mighty dragon
with blue and red blood oozing from the wound inflicted by the searing hot blades of the azure soldiers, creating their leagacy in a blur of broken limbs and ripped flesh.
THEN..as the moon disapeers and the sun rises in the east…….the blue warriors stand over the field of battle…..surveying their handiwork and realize that they……ABOVE ALL OTHERS……are champions. Boy,I miss that crazy fool.
I am still living off the fumes of the 97+98 Super Bowls…..
Luke Waltons? Wow. Both have immeasureable motors that will allow them to grab 10 boards a night fo’ life. Not to mention being 20 point a night guys on two of the top teams in the nation. Tyler will probably never be a star, but…..
And yes the Ultimate Warrior is a complete lunatic and a creative inspiration of mine. Another ultimate warrior: Justin Tuck.
And Cub, NO, I do not have the Big Ten Network. It’s almost too absurd to mention, but since you asked… most folks in State College have Comcast Cable, and Comcast (logically, in my opinion) doesn’t carry it because they won’t put it on the ESPN tier where the BTN wants it. I actually paid extra for all the FSN during college football season and am loving it now that the Pac-10 hoops are so dope this season. In the meantime, the BTN can eat a d*ck.
Tyree catch was the greatest play evurrrr when you throw in the escape and the situation.
Parade is on Broadway, Wall St. to City Hall.
or any of the otha riters, if sam cant respond, can u guys. thx a ton.
I love Pac-10 hoops, the games are almost always great (minus that disaster at Pauley the other night.) Stanford v. Wazzu was a dope game earlier in the day.
Every once in a while, post-STD Steve would tell this story in German for four or five minutes then break out a name at the end that you knew — one time it was Refrigerator Perry — then Ron Paul would laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh. WHOO that was a good one I’m sure.
I was waiting for ClappySteve to say “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall!” after that Alford sack through the entire Pats’ offensive line. But no dice. I guess they’re not there yet.
With 2:28 left, I said I’d that I’d go and adopt some Franco-Dutch child from a orphanage just to name it “Eli Plaxico Collins” (even his last name is a tribute to the dearly departed Kerry) if Eli pulled off this last drive.
I must go do my civic duty now. Eli Plaxico, you will one day return to the states, touch our sacred trophy received on The Greatest Day and proudly declare, “Ich bin ein Giants fan! Or Berliner? Whatever it is!”
