The Giants won their second Super Bowl in five seasons last night and the fans – who rode the rollercoaster ride with Big Blue all year – were rewarded with an exciting 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI last night.

“Big Blue gave us a game to remember, and on Tuesday we’re going to give them a parade to remember,” NYC mayor Mike Bloomberg said in a statement.

Tom Coughlin won his second Super Bowl as a head coach tonight, and no one has more reason to fire back at his critics than Tom. Of course, he didn’t. He remained as classy as ever…

On winning the Super Bowl...“The greatest feeling in professional sports is to win the Super Bowl.”

On the Giants’ final drive for the game-winning touchdown…“We moved the ball down the field, and Eli [Manning] made some great plays. [Mario] Manningham made a huge play to get us down there. We tried to take a little more time off the clock, but it didn’t work that way. Thank God it worked out.”

On how he felt when the Patriots had the ball in the final seconds…“What I was thankful for was that we had a lead of four points. That was the whole deal, to have at least a four-point lead. When we had that, I felt a little bit better. He [Tom Brady] is so dangerous with the ball, you don’t know what to expect.”

Lots of talk this week, and who knows what to make of it. This will be my 46th Super Bowl and I have a pretty good record at picking winners. I don’t have the exact numbers, and I may be exaggerating, but I’ll say I have been right about 85% of the time.

That record is buoyed by riding the wave of the game’s most storied teams: Green Bay, Miami, Dallas, Pittsburgh, the Raiders, San Francisco, New England, Washington and, of course, the Giants.

Dynasties no longer exist in this league, thanks to Pete Rozelle’s installation of his parity design that has flourished under the stewardship of Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell. As a result, the Super Bowl games have gotten more difficult to pick. Teams come and go. Others get hot and go on runs, while better teams slump at the wrong time. In the past decade or so, the teams that make it to February aren’t always the league’s two best.

This year’s game features the Giants – a team that set records the past few seasons for collapsing – and Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots, who are always at the top of preseason Super Bowl polls.

The Giants are readying for another – yes, another – primetime game. This time, though, it’s THE primetime game: the Super Bowl. Kickoff is approximately 6:40.

Last night, the team got an inspirational speech from head coach Tom Coughlin – one in which pronounced his love for the players – before they hit the hay for the 11pm curfew.

The day was an uneventful one for the Giants. One of their buses malfunctioned on the way to practice, but it did not effect any of the team’s plans. Practice went off without a hitch.

As per the pool report….

The Giants went through a crisp, 48-minute walk-through practice with every player on the team in uniform and accounted for.

Running back Ahmad Bradshaw showed barely a hint of soreness in his ankle as he went through all the scripted situations for the offense. In addition, safety Tyler Sash and defensive end Osi Umenyiora participated in the light, but focused work.

“He looked fine, no soreness, nothing you could notice,” Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said regarding Bradshaw. “This was all situational stuff, nothing unusual. It was a Saturday morning jog-through, all situations.”

Eli Manning is staying calm. When is he not calm? From NBC Sports….
