Just finished watching Super Bowl 42 and all I can say is WOW!! Seriously though, who really thought the G-men could pull this one out (show of hands please). What a performance from Osi, Strahan, Tuck, Pierce and the entire Giants Defense. These guys could probably tell you what kind of gum Mr. Brady was chewing. They were on him on almost every pass the Pats’ QB threw. A fantastic effort! To hold that team to 14 pts is an amazing accomplishment in itself (held them to 7pts for most of the game), but add to that the effort of Eli Manning and the Giants offense and you get a game for the ages.
Eli & Co. didn't take advantage of early red zone opportunities, but because of the defense, they were in the game late, paving the way for Eli to officially become "the man". Two TD passes, great decision making abilities, and some Vick-like escapability. Eli was the MVP of this game, and sorry New England, but the Giants are the BEST in the NFL for this season.
How great must Archie Manning feel right now? His sons win back to back Super Bowls and both times his kid takes home the MVP hardware. As a father his heart has to be swelling with pride right now. On the flip side, what must be going through Bill "MR Personality" Belichick's mind right now. Most "experts" are already calling the 18-0 start a waste because they didn't finish the job. Now, he has to worry about another "spygate" tape – this one of the Rams’ Friday walkthrough before Super Bowl 36. If the Commish gets his hands on this tape, it could be a one year suspension for the Pats head man.
Finally, a report has come from ESPN that says the Ravens are giving serious consideration to trading their #1 pick to Philly for Donovan McNabb. When I first heard this news I was against it for many reasons, but if the Ravens were planning to use that pick to take someone like Brian Brohm, I'd much rather get McNabb. If healthy (I know big if) McNabb is part of that 2nd tier of QBs in the NFL (Palmer, Romo, Big Ben, McNabb, this year’s Favre) below Brady and Peyton but guys who can win you games and put up big numbers. If they can figure out the cap issues, it may not be so bad after all. They can still draft a QB later and that guy and Troy Smith can learn under Donovan. Plus, with him the team is right back in the hunt. In today's NFL you need a good QB to win, and a healthy McNabb would give the franchise the best QB they've ever had.
PS--Congrats to Willis MaGahee for making his first trip to the Pro Bowl. If Willis stays on the field in the coming seasons it will be the first of many. Cam Cameron will see to that…
