I just want to send a big ol’ Thank You to the New York Giants for their performance in Super Bowl XLII. Without their help, there would have been a cache of smug and strutting sports fans in Boston and I’m really sick of hearing all of that cheering in the Northeast.

Yes, folks: after winning 18 games and losing the championship… that’s as a calibur of choking that is on par with, if not bigger than, losing the last four of a best of seven in other sports. Miami’s record from 1972 remains intact. And even if my ‘hawks didn’t get to the game, I’m glad a team I still care about won (and a team from a sports city I care so little about lost.)

Thanks, Big Blue.
