A Giant Win!!!

Yes, Dear Roxy, it's true... it wasn't a nightmare... your Pats have lost to the New York Giants! The Giants that had NO chance of winning, the mediocre team, the one with Peyton's little brother, the one whose demeanor was questioned time after time. Yes, THAT team!

And I couldn't be happier for THAT team! Deep inside I knew they could win this... it showed on Week 17. Last night, Brady looked uncomfortable and frustrated! They made him sweat!

The last drive was for the ages. The sack that almost happened, the catch that almost didn't! I mean, in all seriousness, how did Eli get out of there unscathed and throw the ball? How did Tyree catch it... with his helmet?! That's when I knew (or at least hoped) that the Giants were gonna win it! And they did!!!!!

They deserved that win, too. It wasn't handed to them. They played and played hard!

The defense was unbeliviable. That defense won the game! Who would've thought the Pats were going to score just 14 points? Oh yeah, Plaxico Burress! Brady found it funny when he made that prediction. I bet he doesn't think it's that funny anymore.

Manning was a leader and I couldn't be happier for him. I guess he shut everyone who thought he wasn't a leader! Yes, that goes for Tiki Barber!

And I couldn't be happier for Strahan, Plaxico, and even the Giants trainer who's worked in that organization for 48 years! He will retire this year, and with a ring in hand!

Woo-hoo for the Giants! Woo-hoo for the Giants! Woo-hoo for the Giants :)
