Shrug no more, Eli! You have climbed out from the shadow of your brother!
Hate to say I told you so, but ... I told you so. The Giants shocked the general public and upset Goliath. The Giants defense decided to use the "Shock and Awe" strategy against Brady, and the looks on his face were just that after each and every sack and knock down. Brady had a look of complete disbelief every time he found himself getting up off the ground.
But enough about Brady ... how about my main man Belichick? Class act, eh? Showing respect on football's biggest stage to his better opponent by pouting his way to the locker room before the game was even over. Just a disgusting show from someone considered to be the best coach in football. Belichick resembled more a 6-year-old little leaguer who just lost a game. He couldn't deal with it. His gigantic ego may be irreparably damaged. Everyone's true colors came out on the Patriots tonight.
The second that the game was over, Randy Moss was no longer the team player that happily waltzed through the "perfect" season. After the first loss as a Patriot, Moss was immediately questioning his coach's gameplan.
The conversation went something like this:
"Basically we didn't do anything this season. Nothing that happened in the regular season mattered since we didn't finish it up. This season was exciting, but it was definitely a disappointment. This season means nothing now."
But Randy, your team went to the Super Bowl and won an unprecedented 18 games in a row! You wouldn't go after your coach after the first loss you've experienced in a Patriots uniform would you?!
"The Giants just had a better game plan. They played heads up football. They came ready to play for four quarters, 60 minutes. My hat's off to the Giants."
Hmm, OK, OK, fair enough. At least you respect the opponent, thats applaudable. How about next year? 19-0 next year in a Patriots uniform? 19 more games seeing the Brady-Moss Connection?!
"If I am in a New England Patriots uniform next year I would love to be in one. If I am not, the show must go on."
Uh, geez. Alright, well don't be too hard on yourself. I mean, you set a single season touchdown record for receiving and led your team to a Super Bowl! Don't you have ANYTHING positive to say?
"This season means nothing now."
Hm. I see. Well, what's next for Randall Moss?
Career-change? Well, good luck with that.
While Moss and Belicheck attempt to find their zen, I'm sure they will spend plenty of time on the couch watching TV. And they will remember these feelings of anger once again when there is a sudden explosion of ads that feature America's Family the Mannings pitching products together. The Mannings are the new Kennedy's.
Though Eli and Plax and Strahan were winners on the field of the Super Bowl, but the REAL winner tonight is ...
MERCURY MORRIS!
There is nobody, and I mean NOBODY, that hates the Patriots and Belichick more than Mercury Morris. The guy blew up on the golf course when ESPN tracked him down to ask him about the Pats potentially going undefeated. Need more proof? Hours after the game, I spotted him on a Reebok commercial receiving a "Perfect Gift" from the Giants. I am willing to bet that he popped about 10 champagne bottles following the Pats downfall.
I think we also learned a little bit about the Golden Boy Tom Brady. He did not seem to respond very well to adversity. At times, Brady was yelling at his linemen and receivers when an errant pass would find the turf. Antonio Pierce had the quote of the night, in my opinion.
"I don't know if he did get rattled," linebacker Antonio Pierce said, "but he had grass stains."
Lots of grass stains. Brady found himself on the ground 18 different times tonight, and that's not including the sacks.
Overall, a very good game and exciting outcome. No one really expected the Giants to put up a fight, but tonight, the Geeeeee-Men shocked the world.
Jets to Super Bowl XLIII? Hey, today, we're all undefeated.

Well written, the Pats were not ready, that was the job of the guy who ran off the field.
