The Giants won the Super Bowl. I’m sorry, can you say that again? Yes The NY Giants beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 42! I can’t believe it.Nobody picked them to win. No one gave them a chance. Everyone thought they were a good team and might put up a fight against the Pats, but nobody ever thought they would really win. I mean, in the regular season they had 10 wins and 6 losses. That’s a good season, but they just made it into the playoffs. For the most part, they just didn’t look like a team that could get very deep into the playoffs.  

No one thought they would beat

Tampa

Bay. Then no one thought they would beat

Dallas. Everyone was sure the cold weather up in

Green Bay would do them in. Up until yesterday, that was the best football game I had ever seen with the Giants winning in overtime, in minus 4 degree weather.

 Myself and every other Giant fan I know have been saying for the last two weeks; “can you believe the G-Men are in the Super Bowl” It’s crazy. Now we are going to say; “can you believe the G-Men won the Super Bowl!” 

It’s weird; I watched every Giants game this year. They played OK, some games they really did well. Some games they really stunk up the place. And other games they just did enough to get by and win. But even after the last game against The Patriots, which was awesome, you never really thought they would get this far. The Patriots were supposed to win the Super Bowl this year. They had one more game to win to make it the perfect season. The Pats are considered to be one of the, if not the best football teams in NFL history. And if not the Pats, well then The Dallas Cowboys surely can do it. They were the number 1 seed in the NFC. Or the Packers with Bret Farve the old gun slinger can win the big one. But not the Giants. They have been playing with house money ever since week 16. 

My point is this; what are we (Giants fans) supposed to feel? When your team is great and they are predicted to win, it still feels great, but you expected it. They played great all year long. It’s no surprise. But when your team is the 5th seed in the playoffs and none of the talking heads think they have a chance, and your playing an undefeated monster of a football team, you go into it hoping they at least make a game of it and not get blown out. 

So how do I feel now? Shock.It’s like a dream. A very good dream indeed.
