A buddy asked me recently if this win by the Giants was any different than the other two Super Bowl wins...my first thought was yes, since we'd been embarrassed in 2001 by the Ravens and it's been 17 years since the last one. But as I reflect on it, each win has special meaning to me as a lifelong Giants fan.
The first in 1987 meant our team had finally made and played in the Super Bowl, a game we'd watched for the previous two decades while the team floundered. And in that game, we were a huge favorite over Denver.
The second win came after the big upset of the 49'ers in the NFC championship and we were the underdogs in the game. Plus, the last minute thrill of the missed FG...that was sweet...
This time, the G-men changed history and no one expected them to do it....it was an improbable season given the way it started - 0-2 and down at halftime of the 3rd game...Let's face it...anytime you win the big game, it's special...
I should mention the person who asked is a Viking fan...and they've never experienced a Super Bowl win...:-)
