David is defenseless with his sack of stones now empty. Goliath is just hitting his stride for this time he will put the overachiever to rest and the National Football League’s Giant, not the Giants, will hoist Lombardi’s trophy early Sunday evening.
The New York Giants have made a compelling run in this year’s postseason, but Giants fans have to realize that all good things come to an end when your team has no stones left to fire at the mighty Goliath.
Eli Manning has led his team to football’s biggest game, but he will never be mistaken for Mr. Brady. Tom Brady doesn’t get rattled. Have you ever seen him pout on the sideline or, better yet, on the field?
I know I have yet to see any such behavior from Brady, but what I have seen is the many faces of Eli Manning. When something goes wrong the expression on his face looks as if he were a 5-year-old boy who has been denied a cookie just before dinner.
Tom Brady, on the other hand, is as cool as a snowy January day in lovely Baldwin City.
He is confident enough in his abilities to split time at Michigan, sit behind Drew Bledsoe to start his career, and then, when the opportunity arrived, lead his team to a championship despite less-than-adequate reps throughout the season.
He is smooth enough to land a supermodel who only needs one name. Every other guy would be happy with just a model, but not Tom Brady. No, Tom Brady strives for perfection in everything he does and that is why he has been successful.
I know everyone loves to ramble on about Brady and how amazing he is, but doesn’t he deserve it?
Every sports fan roots for the underdog and wants to see them succeed, but as a sports fan, I am honored when I get to see greatness at its highest level.
Perfection is usually an unattainable goal. We all strive for it, but many times we realize the exaggerated goal and settle for less. However, for the first time in 26 years, there is a chance for perfection.
I understand what this accomplishment would mean for a team of great players. Also, I understand many people despise the Patriots and their success, but why can’t we embrace it? Embrace the history that can be accomplished on Super Sunday.
So, now, I ask you sports fans, are the New England Patriots the greatest team of all time? Can this team make us forget about the ’27 New York Yankees with the daunting line-up dubbed Murderer’s Row or the perfect season given to the sports world by the ’72 Miami Dolphins?
The answer is simple. Yes, they can, and they will. For those sports fans hoping for a miracle on Super Sunday, do not look toward Glendale, Ariz., to find what you are looking for because it’s not 1980, and the game isn’t on ice.
In what should be Mr. Seau’s swan song, I’m going to root for history and give the Patriots the nod, 31-20. for perfection in everything he does and that is why he has been successful.
