Some of this is that I live out West. Some of it was that no one expected them to win. Some of it is that I'm a fan and want to hear about my team all the time, but has anyone noticed how the G-men are getting no accolades, no reports, no mention at all this off-season that they won the Super Bowl? If the Pat's had won, I guarantee we'd still be hearing about how great they were, how great their season was, how calm, cool and amazing Brady is. And we'd definitely still be listening to Boston talk about how "great" of a sports city they are. Has anyone else noticed this? Aside from the couple days after the big game, there has been no word of the Giants coming out on top, no reporters talking about the Giants and their accomplishments. No, we're still stuck on the Pats. Yes, it's about them cheating, which is hilarious and totally puts a cloud over their supposed "dynasty", but I would like to hear more about how the G-men knocked out three division champions, made Romo look foolish, Favre look less than legendary, and Brady look scared for once this season in the pocket. Is that too much to ask? It's like the media has disregarded the Giants BECAUSE of what they did, that they did ruin the Pats, stop Favre's final showdown and ruin a lot of other so-called experts opinions on who would win. It's just frustrating for a Giant's fan.
That's all I have on my mind, Fannation, thanks for reading.

Good blog..I agree. I think the lack of talk about them could be taken as a compliment. Ya know, there's not anything hanging over them. They just went out and played.

I remember thinking this after the Patriots beat the Rams in 2000 for their first Superbowl win, actually. Everybody thought it was kind of a fluke, so there was almost nothing said about the Pats all that offseason or the next year.
I think it comes down to expectations. We all knew that, if the Pats were going to have a chance, they were gonna' have to get Drew Bledsoe clicking. So, when this nobody named Tom Brady took over, well, we all knew it wouldn't last.
Honestly, we all think the same thing about Eli and the rest of your guys. You had a run to and through the playoffs that will never be forgotten, and the G-men beat the Patriots by playing tough, team football. It was a real sight to see! ...but, what's gonna' happen next? To be perfectly frank, we're all betting that the carriage will turn back into a pumpkin.
...but...cheer up. We've been wrong before.
