Unofficial Holiday

The Super Bowl ( yes I know it’s a predictable subject for a blog but what a game!) it’s the second best holiday of the year (Christmas and My Birthday are tied for first) it’s where the best of the NFC and the AFC come together to battle for the immortality. This year the storylines behind the bowl games were huge. For the Patriots they came in 18 and 0 looking to make history and extend this decades dynasty. They had the ultimate team Hall of Fame quarterback dating a supermodel ( I’m jealous), probably the greatest wide receiving core, and a very good defense. On the other hand we have the New York Giants, counted out at the beginning of the season, Coach and Quarterback were nearly chased out of town by angry mob with torches, and could not win at home. And in the end the Giants won in probably one of the top 5 best games ever. Eli Manning had all the trouble in the world town didn’t want him he had to live under his brothers shadow, who the year before won the Super Bowl and he seemed like the bastard red headed step child. Who would have guessed a year later he would be Super Bowl XLII MVP (Now the camera might finally incorporate him at the family table in the commercials.)
