Superbowl!

To be honest, I have so many great Superbowl memories; I would never have enough time to write about them. Of late though, I would say my favorite moment would date back to 2008. The undefeated New England Patriots were taking on the New York Giants. The patriots were so called unstoppable, the best ever, perfect, champions, and every other overrated word that people used to describe them. I on the other hand knew that they were prime to be beat. I could not wait until they would get taken down because I hate the Patriots! Of course so many people said that the Giants had no shot because Eli Manning was there quarterback. Many people believed that the only good thing about Eli was that he is Peyton’s little brother. That is ridiculous because I have always thought Eli Manning is a great quarterback. He would prove that in this game.  The game started off with the Patriots taking the ball down the field and scoring on the Giants. Everybody began to think that this was just going to be a blow out that was over at half time. Well the people that thought that were wrong! The New York Football Giants wouldn’t give up anything else to the Patriots. The score at half time was 7 to 3 in favor of New England. There was one half of football left. Every Patriot was one half away from making history. The third quarter was also just a defensive battle. The score still remained 7 to 3 going into the fourth quarter. Half way through the fourth, Eli found David Tyree in the end zone for a huge touchdown the give the big Giants the lead. Then the Brady Lady got lucky once again and the Patriots scored with three minutes to take a 14 to 10 lead. Now the Giants had no chance according to so many, but Eli Manning had something special up his sleeve. On a third and long Eli Manning was wrapped up almost for a sack, but he then had a crazy escape and he threw the ball 40 yards down field to David Tyree. This play was insane! Now the Giants were in business. Three plays later Eli found Plaxico Burress in the end zone for the game winning touchdown; game over, Giants win 17 to 14. Go home New England! Cry me a river Brady!
