Yeah baby!

Despite the not-so-great 13-6 record that the NY Giants held going into today's game, the team managed to pull through and win the Super Bowl XLII World Championship. Thanks to a solid defense and quick maneuvering by quarterback Eli Manning (also voted MVP thanks to two TD passes in the fourth quarter), the Giants created one of the biggest Super Bowl upsets in NFL history.

Although it was a little heartbreaking to see the disappointed faces of the Patriots team members, who were hoping to finish today out with a perfect 19-0 record for the season, we are VERY excited for today's win. Doug has been a long-time Giants fan (going back to the days of Lawrence Taylor), so today's vitctory was a sweet one, indeed. Way to go guys! Thanks for a great game!!
