super duper

the new york giants win super bowl XLVI!!

we went over my in-laws' house to watch the game with my husband's family, who have been long-time giants fans.  my husband says i'm spoiled because i didn't really start watching the giants until 5 years ago, and the following season they went on to win super bowl XLII.

but it's not easy being a giants fan.  it always seems like they're making it harder on themselves.  case in point: the game-winning touchdown, which turned out to be quite funny.. except in the moment it was actually quite scary, because it meant the patriots had 57 seconds to retaliate.  and 57 seconds in football world is excruciating.  i literally wasn't breathing when tom brady threw his hail mary attempt at the end.  it was crazy!

so yeah, it's not easy being a giants fan.  yet every time when i'm about to lose hope.. they come out fighting.  they never give up.  and so i can't give up on them.  i like to root for the underdog, after all.

thanks for an exciting season, g-men!  see you next year.
