The quiet Giants fan

I’ve been a NY Giants fan since I played Freshman football in High School back in 1970 – I wore the number “43” of Spider Lockart, Giant’s safety for ten years until he retired and later died of cancer. But I’ve never been able to watch a game – they lost every game I ever watched. So it was in support of their longshot Superbowl chances I ignored that game last night – and it paid off.

In one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history, New York shattered New England’s unbeaten season 17-14 Sunday night as Mr. Manning hit Plaxico Burress on a 13-yard fade with 35 seconds left. It was the Giants’ 11th straight victory on the road and the first time the Patriots tasted defeat in more than a year.

So, congratulations to my Giants from their fan who sacrifices everything so they can win.
By the way, the Giants have only lost one Superbowl. Betting against them is fairly stupid.

And an NFC victory portends a Republican President in November.
