One.... what's the word...leap for mankind

The lesson associated with the Giants Superbowl victory over the Patriots last night goes to prove the age old adage: Cheaters never win. Well, they might win 18 games in a row and set all kinds of records, but they never win the Superbowl. Well, that might win the superbowl, in fact three Superbowls, but not in the year they get caught cheating.... Where was I? Oh, right, the Patriots are cheaters.

I was positively giddy today. Nearly as happy as I have been at a sports related story in more than a year, which in itself sheds some light on how pathetic my fandom has been since the Mets loss in game 7 last year. As a Jets fan, its impossible to feel truly happy with a Giants Superbowl, but as Jets fan in New England, who gives a fuck I could not tolerate an offseason of "19-0, 19-0".

Plus I love it when cheaters lose.

So, the big questions lingering after a surprising yet convincing victory by the Giants:

1) Is the Patriots dynasty over (shades of the Yankee loss in 2001 to the Diamondbacks)
2) Will Eli Manning finally shed the Fredo Corleone label and move up the ranks to Sonny Corleone, and if so when will he be shot to death at a New York area toll booth?
3) Are Tom Brady and Bill Bellichicke (spelling mistake intentional) having an affair?
4) Now that Gisele is single, will she start dating Bridget Moynihan or will that only happen in my fourth dream tonight?

On an unrelated note, I did find this hysterical picture on CNN today:


Stay tuned tomorrow for a Super Tuesday preview, and a recap of tonight's dream about Gisele and Bridget Moynihan.
