Congrats to the New York Giants for winning a great Super Bowl! Looks like my reverse psychology work.

New England Pick = New York Giants Win.

I was never sold on the Patriots all season. They destroyed the basement teams, struggled badly against the mediocre teams and were really fortunate against the tougher teams (injuries, bad coaching, etc.) I actually believed that the Green Bay Packers could have also pulled off this upset.

Well, I remember a broadcast earlier during this season in which Sean Salisbury claimed that the mantra that “Defense Wins Championships” was hogwash. Of course he was in a segment which deemed the New England Patriots as the best team ever. Well, Mr. Salisbury, defense does with championships. Always has and always will. The New York Giants once again proved this to be true.

As a bonus, here is clip of the great pitch and catch between Eli Manning and David Tyree. True, it’s an offensive play, but if the New England Patriots would have made the defensive stop, maybe they would be celebrating a 4th championship.
