For the past couple of weeks Ken and I have had a running joke going around here saying "Cheaters never win… unless you want to end up in the Baseball Hall of Fame or the Superbowl". Well, last night karma took it’s retribution on the group of players from Foxborough. After having the golden ring of a perfect season within reach, the New York Giants calmly batted it out of the way. Now, I’ll never deny that The Patriots are a good team, and will certainly go down as one of the best ever, but there’s other things that lead to being a great team then your performance on the field. There’s integrity, professionalism, and just plain good-sportsmanship, all of which The Pats lack.
Congratulations have to go out to Eli and the Giants who never lost their cool the entire night, and kept Shula and the ‘72 Dolphins record alive (check out this great Reebok commercial). My "dream scenario" still would have been for Brett Favre to win last night, end the perfect season, then announce his retirement right then and there, but hey, there’s always next year.
