This is the one sports event that attracts all. The hardcore
fans, and the not so hardcore fans. The ones who use it as an excuse for the
get together and the ones who live by their teams. Most of all, this event
attracts the ones looking for a hero and a victory, something to believe in.
The super bowl in my house, similar
to many, is a ritual. It is something you had to watch. Some super bowls are
better than others. In this case, whether you were a patriot’s fan, a giant’s
fan, or despised both there is no doubt that this superbowl, Superbowl XLVI,
was a nail bitter, a high anxiety game, that was sure to last until the very last
second. This was not only a game with two teams battling for the title; it was
a battle for revenge from the hard loss of the patriots jut four years ago.
Patriots, the undefeated, top notch team and the Giants, the underdogs that
came back with an amazing victory just four years ago, that set the scene for
this clash today.
Tonight, it was clear that both
teams fought until the very end, leaving their hearts on the field. There are
many aspects that went into this great storyline and overall great experience.
The media seemed unbiased, summarizing the very feeling of nervousness each
team experienced, the fans were upbeat and faithful throughout the competition,
and lastly it was a fairly called game with plenty of good sportsmanship.
Sportscenter as well as many other media outlets such as NBC made this victory
and centralized around the hero and MVP, Eli Manning. The cover stories on all
sites talk about Eli Manning making his team to champions and how Eli won the
game for the Giants. As close as
the game was, it was clear that the Giants victory was well deserved. This was
without a doubt a well-played game and one that will go down in history.
