New England Patriots vs. New York Giants final score: 17-14 Giants. Who would have guessed?

Let's get this out of the way first. The Patriots are a phenomenal team. They have one of the best quarterbacks in the league, if not THE best quarterback in the league. And Brady has some excellent support from the likes of Welker and Moss. Plus, the defense is no slouch either. Besides, the saying goes that defense wins games.

But guess what? They cheated. Do other football teams cheat as well? Probably. But the Patriots got caught. The fact of the matter is that they cheated and everyone knows it. Every single record they have set this year is tainted with the foul stench of shame that should be hanging over their head. It SHOULD. You know why it didn't? Because the Patriots refuse to admit that they are less than perfect.

These past two weeks, all the Patriots ever did was joke around. If a question arose about anything (usually about Tom Brady's boot), the Patriots would make some smug smart-ass joke and shrug it off. There's also the fact that Moss during his pre-game speech said that he was the greatest receiver in the league (or something like that). He said it wasn't arrogance, it was just true. Ha! Please. And of course we've already touched on their cheating. And to top it all off, although the Pats will never admit it, they didn't take the Giants seriously. They had an excellent run to 18-0 (because they cheated), so of course they wouldn't think much of the Giants, who nobody expected to beat Dallas, much less Green Bay and New England in the Super Bowl.

Also, let me briefly touch on what the Patriots said after the game. Now, I haven't been glued to the television so I haven't heard it all mind you. But here's the gist of what Brady and Belichick said. They said that they just couldn't pull through and didn't do as well as they hoped. They said they were disappointed. All valid and logical statements. But here's the thing. They NEVER gave the Giants credit. They never came out and said, "We played our best, but we gotta hand it to Eli and the team. They played excellent." You know why they never said that? Because they're arrogant, ignorant, sore losers. The Giants played a great game, at least defensively. The Giants defense was all over Brady, sacking and hitting him much more than he's used to. They also held the Patriots to 7 points in the first half, and only 7 more in the second half. The Giants defense is the reason that they won. The offense didn't pull it together until the last quarter.

The Giants deserved this win. This is the greatest upset in Super Bowl history and one of the greatest runs in NFL history. And the Patriots can't even recognize them with a, "Good job guys. You played your hearts out." When the Giants were interviewed pre-game, they said that they just want to go out there and play their best and hopefully the best will come out of it. The Patriots made jokes and obviously thought nothing of the Giants. Well, I guess they learned their lesson. They cheated, their players (at least the stars of the team) are up their own asses with self pride, and they don't take their competition serously. The Giants didn't cheat, they're not consumed with self-pride, and they know the importance of teamwork. Eli Manning was put down and questioned all through this season and he just sucked it up and put those put downs to rest through his playing.

The Patriots went 18-0 and set lots of records. But it doesn't matter. They came in second. They're not the best team in the league this year. The Giants have beaten the cheating undeservedly unbeaten Patriots. Justice is served.

NOTE: As I was writing this, I saw some more interviews from the Patriots and some of them did give the Giants all the credit like Harrison and (surprisingly) Randy Moss. It doesn't change the fact that they're still arrogant punks, but I respect them just a bit more, excluding Randy Moss. He's still the largest brat in the league.
