BOOK PER HEAD

I would say that nobody saw it coming, but I would be lying. Hundreds of people who took the risk of betting on the dog against a perfect-record NFL team on Super Bowl definitely must’ve seen it coming somehow. Just a few seconds changed the outcome of this huge event. Just a few seconds made Tom Brady walk out of the field with his head down, totally beaten. Those few seconds gave the Giants an amazing victory, running over the ones nobody else could beat.

That’s right, folks! I know you were right there and saw it, and then took your hands to your head just as I did. Because no matter which team you were supporting, I think that was the general reaction. Everybody was ready to celebrate with the Patriots for a perfect Season from game 1 to Super Bowl, something that would’ve been set on the stones of NFL history. But… oh, surprise! 35 secs before the end, Eli Manning, the Giants’ golden boy, was starting to get surrounded by the Pats, but threw a pass to Plaxico Burress, who scored the unexpected TD the Giants needed to become the new NFL Champions. Amazing!

Tom Brady’s face was absolutely priceless, not sure if it was just because of the loss, of because Plaxico was right when he said the Giants would win 23-17. Tom Brady laughed at it… and obviously he couldn’t believe it really happened. He was the biggest sample of the disappointment felt by the New England Patriots. Some others took advantage of that kodak moment to make some jokes:

This was definitely a Giant moment for New York. Honestly, would you have thought when the past NFL Season began that you would see them face-to-face with the Patriots? There’s nothing left to say besides Congratulations, New York Giants. And too bad for New England: you were pretty close to making history… The Dolphins can stop holding their breath because they still have the perfect-season record and we all have to hear them bragging about it until someone else breaks that curse . Maybe next year…
