Semper Fi NY Giants...

In case you missed it, the NY Giants had on their sidelines this year a wounded Iraq veteran.  A US Marine Lieutenant Colonel, he lost both legs to a roadside bomb returning from a ceremony for fallen comrades.  He played at West Point in the late 80's and is friends with a Giants assistant who was a former team member at Army.  We here at RIVALSflag hope that somehow, someway, this brave warrior gets a Super Bowl ring.  In the interview we saw, every Giant interviewed said they would give their ring to him if somehow the NFL would not provide one.  Maybe, just maybe, the act of kindness and compassion exhibited by Coach Coughlin and the Giants was paid back on Sunday.

Some tool reporter for CBS Sportsline opened his column on the game saying it was the worst Super Bowl he'd ever seen for 3 quarters.  What an idiot.  Too bad the new generation can only appreciate spread offenses and basketball scores.  What we witnessed was a game of incredible intensity and hitting for 4 quarters.  Sure wish CBS would hire some columnists who have played and appreciate all phases of the game (I am available).  The game was a magnificent display of the game of football and was the highest rated in TV history.  We think that last fact is a testament to the guys total misread and misrepresentation of one of the great Super Bowls of all time...
