You Can't Win 'Em All

Wow. What a gritty performance by the Giants! The Patriots couldn't protect Brady, Brady looked uncomfortable throwing the long ball, and Eli Manning came up big in the clutch. I thought the Giants would cover the spread, but I certainly didn't give them much shot at winning the dang game!

Anyway, both teams played well, and it was a rare down-to-the-wire Super Bowl. I shouldn't feel too bad, from a Maize and Blue standpoint; they both have a Michigan man in important positions (WR Amani Toomer, for the Giants). Still, Tom Brady's the man, and it was hard to see him lose in a Super Bowl for the first time.

Well, there's always next year. Unless you're the Lions.
