TO Cries The Blues, Giants Get Ready For Green Bay

 Subscribe in a reader


There is a lot that can be said about the Giants victory over the Cowboys on Sunday. It was monumental, huge, you name it, but no one could predict that the victory would cause a grown man to cry.

Standing at the podium in the post game press conference, T.O. arguably one of the best receivers in football, broke down and started to cry. "That's my quarterback," says Owens with tears coming down his face. "It's not fair that you do that to him."

In that moment a collective cheer could be heard coming from Philadelphia, where Owens single handily destroyed the Eagles season the year after they went to the Superbowl.

With that behind Big Blue, and ignoring the ignorant comments by Wade Phillips the head coach of the Cowboys, who said, "The best team did not win on Sunday", the Giants press on to Green Bay.

The two teams met in week 2 at the Meadowlands with Green Bay coming out as the victor. That was a long time ago, and both these teams are completely different now. Also this Giants team has won an unprecedented 9 straight road games. What does all this means? Absolutely nothing.

This is a huge game for both teams, so the past means nothing, because this will be unlike anything they saw all season long.

As Giants fans we can enjoy the ride. A ride that no one, even their wildest imagination, could have predicted. No one wants this ride to come to an end, however, no one can be upset if it does.
