You know the plot. A team playing in the biggest city in the world biggest city begins an unpromising season. Their star player leaves, bashes the team and becomes a TV anchor. The star tight end is a cancer to the locker room. Future hall of fame defensive end going through a bitter public divorce. And the team is being lead by the football version of Fredo while his superstar brother does Gatorade commercials fresh off a Superbowl victory.
The Patriots are the polar opposite. Perfect season. Hall of fame head coach. Super model dating quarterback. But slightly tainted with Spygate.
But the Giants play them hard to the final 2 minutes in the season's finale. It gave the team, and the movie's star Eli, all the momentum it needed to defeat Tampa Bay, the heavily favored "America's team" and finally the beloved Brett Farve.
Unless you've been in a coma the past 24 hours, you know how this movie ends.

All I can say is that the Giants beat the shit out of the Patriots, straight up. I can't stand the Boston fans that try to make excuses and blame the loss on one guy or one play because that's bullshit. The Giants as a team stepped up and did what needed to be done and beat the Patriots. The Pats didn't "drop" that game or just "have a bad game", the Giants forced them into every mistake they made.
The Pats are fucked up for next year now. Mad heads are going to leave now. Junior should retire. Seriously, how do you reload from an 18-1 season? Where can you possibly improve? Bring in more big money free agents? This season was a HUGE disappointment. Enjoy it, Sick.
In case you forgot, the Knicks still suck. Lets do this again in October. Boston Red Sox vs. New York Mets in the World Series.
Congrats, Giants.
Sincerely,
The Internet's Most Prominent Black Bostonian,
Dart Adams
