Well, I was wrong. I will come out and say it right away. I confidently believed the New England Patriots would walk over the New York Giants and send Eli Manning home with that same stupid look on his face (ya know, that look like he just had his milk money stolen by a big, bad, bully). But I was wrong. The Giants came up big when they needed to and beat the best team the NFL has seen in easily 30 years. Its hard to say it; I almost need to pinch myself to make sure I'm still not sleeping Saturday night, waiting for the big game.
One thing is for certain, Eli Manning will go down as one of the worst Super Bowl MVPs ever. He has coasted through the NFL with mediocrity and terrible decision making skills. From now on, if anyone finds pride in winning the MVP at the Super Bowl, many people are just going to think, "So what, so did Eli Manning!"
Nothing makes sense anymore. The best team did not win, they lost. The worst team from the NFC came out of nowhere and reminded us sports fans that anything can happen.
(Even if it is as shameful as handing Eli the MVP trophy when it should have gone to the entire defense.)
