Deja Big Blue

In a repeat of their 2008 Super Bowl XLII season, the New York Giants (9-7) are the 2011-2012 NFL Champions with a 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots (13-3) in Super Bowl XLVI. 

 The game was once again down to the wire, but it was Giants QB Eli Manning who threw a perfectly executed pass down the sideline to WR Mario Manningham, who made an equally amazing 38 yard catch, which will live in New York Giant's history. The catch which was reminiscent of David Tyree's catch in Super Bowl XLII, in terms of importance, set up the game winning touchdown by Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw, who ran straight down the middle of the New England defense. However, the touchdown gave the ball back to New England and Tom Brady for the last :57 who almost completed the comeback, but fell just short. 

 

With the win, Eli Manning out-Brady-ed Tom Brady for the third straight game, making him a two-time Super Bowl MVP. At the beginning of the year, Eli Manning was asked whether he thought he was "elite" and all season we heard the "experts" proclaim he was absurd for comparing himself to Brady and his brother, Peyton Manning, but Eli now has two Super Bowl victories over Brady and one more championship than his 11x  Pro Bowl brother. Be-Eli-Ve, Eli Manning is ELIte!

 

In other news, if you hold your tongue and say "Battleship." That is exactly how I think the movie will be.
