Patriots Lose the Game but Win the Party

by Kel Dansby on February 6th, 2012 at 9:12 pm

The Patriots lost the Super Bowl sunday night to the New York Giants but you couldn’t tell that from this photo.

Patriots’ players Rob Gronkowski and Matt Light were photographed living it up after the game. Gronk surely looks 100% here if you ask me.

So even though you can find countless videos of Pats fans bawling post game on the internet, it seems as though the players took the defeat in stride.

It’s hard to determine what is more baffling, Rob Gronkowski jumping around on stage with LMFAO or Matt Light deciding to go shirtless in the club?

These guys look like they learned their moves from Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs partied in LIV nightclub last season after winning their first NBA championship. There are definitely some obvious differences between those two situations. Obviously Mr. Kraft wasn’t popping 10 foot bottles of champagne, Mark Cuban style. The Super Bowl itself was in Indy, which doesn’t give off the same atmosphere as South Beach. But the most notable difference is that they didn’t win.

Try to imagine what Matt Light would’ve done if they would have hoisted the Lombardi trophy.

The moral of the story is no matter what happens on the field, the party must go on!

Cruz Signed by IMG Worldwide

by John Fennelly on February 6th, 2012 at 5:50 pm

Giants’ WR Victor Cruz wasted no time cashing in on his shooting star. The Blue’s salsa sensation, who has become a highly marketable commodity after bursting out with monster season, has announced he has signed with the international talent mega-agency IMG Worldwide.

From the Hollywood Reporter….

With NFL success, comes endorsement deals and other money-making ventures. And so it is that Victor Cruz, a wide receiver for the Super Bowl-winning New York Giants, has just been signed with IMG Worldwide, an agency specializing in sports, fashion and media.

IMG, which also represents Gisele Bunchen, aka Mrs. Tom Brady, announced the Cruz deal the day after his team’s victory against Brady and the New England patriots.

“I’m very pleased to be represented by IMG,” Cruz said in a statement Monday. “They have a great reputation around the world. They have represented some of the most iconic athletes across a myriad of sports and I am honored to be among them.”

Garafolo on Ballard, Beckum Injuries

by John Fennelly on February 6th, 2012 at 9:02 am

Lost in the excitement last night were the serious knee injuries to Giants’ TEs Travis Beckum and  Jake Ballard….

Jake Ballard and Travis Beckum were standing together as everyone else ran around on the field.

Their celebration was much simpler: a congratulatory tap of their crutches.

The Giants’ tight ends both suffered serious knee injuries tonight in the team’s 21-17 Super Bowl XLVI victory over the New England Patriots. Ballard tore his meniscus cartilage while Beckum tore his right anterior cruciate ligament. Neither returned to the game, leaving Bear Pascoe as the last man standing.

“The Super Bowl (victory) is good medicine for the injury,” Ballard said.

SB XLVI: Destiny Calls and the Giants Answer

by Jon Wagner on February 6th, 2012 at 8:48 am

Four years ago, the New York Giants prevented history.

On Sunday night, they made it.

Just as they did in Super Bowl XLII, the Giants rallied with a last-minute touchdown, scoring the final 12 points to steal Super Bowl XLVI from the New England Patriots, 21-17, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

The last time New York did something like that, it was a heavy underdog, stopping New England just 35 seconds short of being the first team to complete a perfect 19-0 season.

This time, the Giants (13-7) became the first team with more than six losses in a season to win a Super Bowl; the first to do so after suffering a four-game losing streak; and the first franchise to win a Super Bowl in four different decades.

The victory, New York’s sixth straight to close the season, put a stamp on a recurring refrain that carried the Giants from the brink of playoff elimination following a disappointing Week 15 home loss to Washington, to their second Super Bowl title in five years, their fourth overall, and their eighth NFL championship.
