the new york giants and my unbridled joy.
******
its taken a few hours to get my head wrapped around the idea that the giants are going to the super bowl… but they are. this really happened. the general mis-en-scene in my brain is disbelief, mixed with unbridled joy, mixed with even more disbelief. also: that pleasant buzz that washes over you in the wake of an adrenaline crash. exhausting, but delicious.
and now that a few hours have passed, i have been able to reflect upon some things the previous evening’s events have taught me:
8. field goal kickers have been placed on this earth for the sole purpose of testing your will to live. after the super bowl is over, lawrence tynes and i are going to have a fist-fight.
7. the $1.99 i spent on one of those squishy stress relief balls was the best investment i’ve made in years. i surely would have suffered a stroke without it.
6. certain white people seem to think that they are impervious to frostbite. WHY?
5. the cowboys and packers had no business being flummoxed by new york’s secondary. regardless of their being outmatched, the giants defense has proven to be phenomenally clutch.
4. tiki barber is now the new poster child for the “ewing theory.” still glad you retired, #21?
3. if everyone expects you to lose, then the pressure to confound those expectations is relieved. life as the underdog truly set the giants free. for what its worth, the patriots are already favored by two touchdowns in the super bowl.
2. this year eli manning has been the anti-peyton… mediocre in the regular season, brilliant in the playoffs. i can live with that.
1. eddie murphy knew this was going to happen all along:
respect goes to the packers for putting up an incredible fight, thereby making the giant’s victory that much more memorable. to my giants – kiss that hallas trophy and appreciate the amazing moment that your talent and passion has afforded you. just remember… your story needs a brilliant ending before it can truly be considered a classic.
how about jeremy shockey being out for the last 4 or 5 weeks ?
cop-incidence ?????????/
i’m still a bit stunned.
i’ve never drawn this much pleasure from watching sports highlight shows in my life. i’m just trying to make sure i didn’t imagine it…
Hells to the yeah. That was great. GREAT.
“after the super bowl is over, lawrence tynes and i are going to have a fist-fight.”
