They said it couldn't be done;
that it was a forgone conclusion.
They said they didn't deserve to be there;
that they were lucky.
They said they were the greatest.
They were undefeated.
It wouldn't even be close.
They said they had too many weapons;
they'd be overmatched.
They said he was a genius;
he'd find a way to confuse him; fluster him.
They said he wouldn't be able to handle it.
They said he might not be the one.
But the problem is that everyone was so busy saying-no one bothered to take the time out to listen.
Because if they did they would have heard.
They were saying something too.
It wasn't much.
Just one thing; one simple little thing that they'd been saying from the very beginning of camp...
"Talk is cheap. Play the game."
And this takes nothing away from who they are. They were a great team.
They ARE a great team.
No other team in history has ever accomplished what they have accomplished.
But here's the thing...
no other team has ever accomplished what they have either.
No team has ever won 11 straight road games...
or beaten an 18-win team to win the Super Bowl...or anything for that matter!
And no team ever will.
You see, though they were a GREAT team, they were a BETTER team. And now they are the BEST team.
They proved it.
As much as we like to argue statistics, you can't measure teams that way. Numbers don't matter once the game starts. The game doesn't care who won what yesterday. The ball doesn't spiral tighter or catch any easier.
It doesn't fumble less for the past.
You can't argue a team to victory. This ain't philosophy.
There's no "Championship Debate."
We play the games to decide who's BETTER
and we play a Super Bowl to decide who's BEST.
So now they get to move into their new house.
Live in their own neighborhood. And it's pretty nice there.
This is the new reality.
The NY Giants are once again the NFL Champions.
And by their will the world is now forced to come to grips with this fact.
Why?
because...
