From start to finish it was everything I could ever ask for in a Final Showdown; Drama, suspense, action, injury and of course, a Hail Mary. And not to mention the supporting cast - a true team effort. Not just about Eli, not just about Tom, and definitely nothing to do with Peyton. The intermission excitement, which included the legendary Madonna, was a true experience for music connoisseurs. Not only did she show her team spirit with her futuristic cheerleader beats and vanishing field, she also took us back to the past ending the halftime act with her classic ‘Like A Prayer’, which was awesome.
Who would have thought that managing the time clock would be the ultimate factor of the game. With Eli off to a scorching start, the Giants controlled the field early. Queue the injuries to their quality tight ends, that could have thrown a big wrench in New York’s plans. Now queue Tom Brady closing the half with a touchdown to take the lead, and starting the 3rd quarter with another score. Magic in the making. When NY burned two of their time outs with nine minutes to go in the game, I felt sick because it began to seem like the few mistakes that were taking place were going to be the most costly.

I will always go on about this game because it was beautiful and shiny and culturally inspiring. It makes me feel so privileged to witness talent displayed by the likes of Brady, Manningham, Madonna, Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks. It was a close call between Eli and Tuck, but with love like the Giants it’s no biggie Eli took down the MVP of the game. We are a lucky bunch to have watched SB XLVI, because as time goes on and technology advances, athleticism will be always be remembered and admired.
