If anyone is wondering how the New York Giants were able to upset the undefeated New England Patriots, I've got your answer.
In honor of the occassion, my father pulled out this vintage 1986 Giants World Champion sweater. Looks like something from the eighties, doesn't it? Being collectors, there's hardly anything that we ever owned that my parent's don't still possess somewhere in their house. This gem was on the bottom of a pile of clothes in my parents' bedroom. And you must agree that it's priceless! Did I mention it's a sweater? I wish I could still fit into a sweater I owned in 1986 (I was 11), don't you? :)
Although it would have been fabulous if our Colts could have made it to the Superbowl again (can you imagine (Manning v. Manning on Superbowl Sunday); and though we would have cheered our hearts out for Brett Favre (Go, Pack!), we're thrilled for Peyton's little brother. We didn't have quite as much fun this year as we did at last year's party, but we still had a great time shouting, "Boo, Patriots!" and I was on the edge of my seat with flushed cheeks and a knot in my stomach until Eli through that pass to Plaxico, and then I jumped up and down and screamed as if it had been Reggie Wayne in the endzone. :) And did you see the pride in Peyton's eyes for his little brother? Pardon me, I'm verklempt.
It was a great game, and a wonderful time with family. I'm sure the Mannings are celebrating now! Congrats, Giants! Congrats, Eli! It was your turn to shine, and shine you did! Back to back brothers as Superbowl MVPs....very cool! |
