I watch the Giants every week, and normally root for them - but you can't take the Eagle fan out of the boy, just because he moved to NY at the age of 27. And it took just a little bit of luck for the Giants to pull this one out.

• Eagles attempt a field goal, and the ball hits the upright an bounces to the inside of the goal - but solidly enough that the ball doesn't go through the goal but lands in the end zone. IOW, it missed by about an inch.
• Plexico Burris fumbles a ball on the ten, an Eagle gets it at the five - and the result is a touchdown for the Giants. No luck there at all!

Whatever, the Giants won. But you sure don't go to the Superbowl counting on that much luck every game.

Guess you guys have never been to an Eagles' game where you wore the cap of an opposing team...and I advise you never to do that because the fans will spit on you. It's the same with the Phillies. A die-hard Braves fan (and you should know I die hard for being a fan of that team) I went to a baseball game last season to watch the Bravos and to see the new stadium...I left drenched in beer and the insides of someone's mucus cavity as a cup was purposely dropped on my Braves hat from the upper rows. I despise everything about Philadelphia, from the way the city has allowed graffiti artists to sully the historic places where America began to the "Yo" rudeness of the citizens and I cheer loudly for any team that whips the Eagles and Phillies!
