More likely, however, is that he was just being a dick.

Bradshaw then comes in with fresh legs. Still, he is pretty damn good. That one where he carried that LB on his back was sick. I see Jacobs getting a 65/35 split next year, but that might become more 50/50, and he's still also injury-prone. It certainly knocks Jacobs way down fantasy draft boards. I'd select Bradshaw over some starting RBs. He'll be a great upside pick. Forget Chad Johnson. Giants don't need him.

That 3rd and 11 catch by Steve Smith was awesome. He caught it, maintained his balance, ran the extra two yards to pick up the first and then fell immediately out of bounds. Sounds easy enough, but I see WRs fail at this way more often than not. Jacobs' blocking was outstanding. Did you see NE try to blitz on that fade TD to Burress? He blew it up. Jacobs' fourth and one first down was obviously huge, and it was very close to not making it. Brett – You brought up three excellent and key points to Sunday’s game.

And then the second half, when they were merely "great" but the deep ball aspect slowly faded away. I wonder how much Brady's ankle injury factored in Sunday. Not to take anything away from the G-Men's terrific defensive effort, but it was an issue.

I loved how one of the three drinks it showed in front of him was white wine. He seems more like the Bud Light type. Nate – Yeah Shockey is a sack.

They also were the reason they won the Super Bowl. Nice point on the 4 draft picks from this year... Alford is in for one play and gets a sack.. good thing Robbins got injured there at the end. How important were the Giants role players? Steve Smith with a catch on 3rd and 11.. Tyree with a TD and the amazing catch.. Bradshaw with 45 yards and Jacobs with an excellent job blocking not to mention the biggest yard of his career on 4th and 1.. I don't know if anyone else noticed how well Jacobs blocks in the pass rush... any comments on moving him to starting FB/short yardage back and letting Bradshaw play at the half back? Any chance Shockey gets released in the offseason or better yet, traded for Chad Johnson? DDD,

Sure, I am a giants fan, but I have been watching the last 8 or 9 new england games, and they were completely beatable by mediocre teams for a while. I think it would have been a shame if they had won, because they would have gone down as probably the greatest team of all time, which they clearly were not, and that was obviously long before the GIANTS WON THE SUPERBOWL!!!

Couldn't. Agree. More. It's a shame the Pats didn't win - and I say that not only as a fan, but also as someone who was hoping to have watched a perfect season all the way through. If that team couldn't do it, I'm not sure we'll ever see it done. I feel like that was our chance. I'm a Pats fan and therefore by default a Manning-basher (only when he's on the field)) but I actually enjoyed seeing Peyton there cheering. Jeremy Shockey, however, pounding brews with his boys? Um, in baseball, you suit up and sit with your team. How is this acceptable behavior in football? “The one clear negative from Sunday’s terrific game is that we now still have to deal with the insufferable 1972 Dolphins.”

D.D.D. I'd like to thank you for writing this little piece. I couldn't agree with you more about genuinely enjoying watching Peyton show genuine happiness rooting for Eli. It was one of my favorite parts of this Super Bowl, and a memory that I will value for quite some time.
