reflection on a super bowl.

1. i wont deny it; im disappointed.
2. because im able to be happy for the giants fans, because last night on the way home from nora's it felt good to see and hear the city abuzz with the championship and be reminded of how great that is, and especially because i do think this can be looked at as the best vengeance for the 04 yankees well ever get (though it's still not enough), i dont feel as disappointed as i think i am. so i have that going for me. (ie, if the pats had lost to any team other than the giants or jets, id be much worse off right now.)
3. ill be shocked if this doesnt end up being the biggest upset in sports ill ever see in my life. it's another sports life bookmark.
4. tom brady takes a big hit from this. a. he had been knocking on the door of automatic immortality, which would have come with a fourth ring, which would have tied him with bradshaw and montana. b. he had never had a bad game in the super bowl before; he did last night. true he had poor protection, but it seemed like he missed a number of key throws when he had protection; he seemed rattled, which is very un-brady.
5. tiki barber and jeremy shockey take just as big a hit. i recorded the today show this morning in the hopes that ill get to see tiki forcing one of his horsey smiles through a whole segment, only hours after his former team proved him expendable at least, and an impediment to success at most.
6. holy effing sh*t.
