I actually stayed up until 3:30 am last night watching the Giants play the 49ers for the NFC Championship. Thankfully I don't work today, so it doesn't matter that I'm tired and may need a nap at some point, because I wouldn't have missed that game for the world. Both teams really gave it their all, and it could've gone either way. Hats off to the 49ers for giving us one hell of a fight, I must say. Neither defense was budging an inch, to the point that it came down to overtime, and it took that botched kick return and our recovery of the ball with good field position for us to finally get the opportunity we needed to break the tie. Talk about nerve-wracking, LOL
The Giants have really had one of their typical seasons, looking great at times and then going through a slump, picking back up and just scraping by into the playoffs, then playing their hearts out and beating every opponent they meet, until it comes down to just two teams left. It seems every time they get this far, this is how it happened, and strangely enough, I'm actually more proud of them for it than if they'd had a perfect season all along. They never gave up when it counted, and even when there was just one last hope left, they came through, and are left standing now when all the other teams who had better records are going to be watching the Superbowl at home while the Giants go to Indianapolis to face New England.
It's such a wonderful day to be a Giants fan! And for anyone who doubted them, I knew all along they could do it! :) Superbowl, here comes Big Blue! :D
