Chip Carter's Newsroom

   Did you see this coming?  Even if you are a Giant fan did you see this coming?  Honestly, when Tom Brady found the end zone  hitting Randy Moss with 2:42 left did you think that New York, with Eli Manning had that kind of comeback  with 2:39 left?  Did you think with the Giants facing 3rd and 11 on the New England 25 that a rookie receiver would make the key first down?  Did you think that Manning would it a wide open Plaxico Burress?  Stunned, shocked, the Patriots (most of them) weren't on the field when the NFL made the Giants snap the ball for one play witeh :01 on the clock. 

    The Giants stun the Patriots, ending New England's perfect season even writing it, its still not sinking in. Eli Manning wins a Super Bowl the year after his brother does, Eli Manning is the MVP of Super Bowl 42, Eli Manning has officially grown up as a quarterback.  Again, he gets the MVP hardware, but it was the Giants defense that really should get the award.  Brady was sacked 5 times, felt the heat at least 12 more times and the Patriot offense never could get into a flow,

  As a Buccaneer fan did you watch the Giants/Bucs game and think, New York has a chance to go all the way and win the Super Bowl?   This honestly is one of the biggest upsets in sports history, it is one of the best Super Bowls in league history.  What really has to hurt the Patriots is that New England lost the league's biggest game the same way they have won two out of their three Super Bowl titles on a last second score,, but instead of kicking a field goal, the Giants find the endzone.   So the Patriots walk off as stunned losers....not the kind of ending they were thinking about at the end of this season.

 The big question all week was not if the Giants would win, the big question all week was where the Patriots would be ranked in league history after Super Bowl 42. That question is now history....the Patriots will still be known as one of the best in the league, one of the best in the decade, but in Super Bowl 42, they were not the best team in Arizona.
