Super Bowl

Here we go.
The biggest day of the year for football.
The biggest day of the year for sports for that matter.
Bigger than game 7s, and all the finals in golf, tennis, and soccer.
And across the United States Americans celebrate by getting drunk and raving about how their team could have won if they had the chance. Well they had their chance and now we're down to two teams. The New York Football Giants and the New England Patriots. Fighting for a chance to win their first Super Bowl since 1990 or their fourth in seven years. The Giants represent everything people want in a champion. A fighting spirit, a late season charge, and the incredible challenge of being the Super Underdogs. The Patriots on the other hand represent everything Americans want in a champion. The pursuit of perfection, unbelievable dominance, and the ability to either hate 'em or love 'em. But what will win out? The veteran quarterback with three rings or the younger brother trying to get out from under big brother Peyton's shadow.

The keys to victory:

Giants:
1. Run the ball. Control the clock. Keep Brady and his record-setting offense off the field. The Giants have had four different running go over a hundred yards this season which is more of a testament to their offensive line.
2. Pressure Brady. Hit him early, hit him often. Get him out of rhythm and force him in to tight spots. Win the turnover battle.
3. Special teams. Get some big plays on kickoffs and punts.
4. No one expects them to win. Have fun.

Patriots:
1. Do what you've done all season. Score big and stop the Giants.

The Call:
In a bit of poetic for Adam Vinatieri the last second field goal is missed by Stephen Gostkowski and Giants ruin the perfect season, in an upset for the ages, winning 34-31.
