Giants win!

Okay, I suppose I could have typed that headline without the exclamation mark.

Not because I care to spare the already wounded pride of ye Patriot fans out there. You could use some ego deflation.

Going into this year's Super Bowl, I really did not give a tinker's dam who won.

But, then I was reminded . . . frequently . . . that a New England win would knock the 1972 Dolphins from the pinnacle of pro football greatness.

And, we just can't have that.

18-1 is still second best to 17-0, especially when one of those 17 came with a Super Bowl ring.
