Yo BIG BLUE

As I just have returned from a weekend in New York City, I thought I would take a second to post about a thought I had upon entry into the city on Friday and another I had leaving the city today, Monday.

If you haven't read the previous post from Larzman, and have no interaction with anyone or any media source, but yet still found this article...Well the '07-08 Patriots lost their precious perfect season and are now known as the team that was "almost perfect".

What struck me the most on my way into the city about this Superbowl match-up, was how the roles were reversed. I'm talking about the eternal rivalry between Boston and New York; more exclusively about the past few years, with the almighty pristine military fashioned Yankees against the down and dirty rebellious Red Sox.

The Yankees have always been this team with all the money and power that perform how they are expected to, until recent years when the Red Sox started giving them a run for their money in 2003, and again in 2004 in which they became the World Series Champions. The Yankees always would be on and off the field, clean-shaven and never showing emotions. While the Red Sox were notorious for their dirty helmets, beards and long hair.

Now, the New England Patriots seem to appear very much so like the New York Yankees. They are off the field and into the locker rooms in rapid fire after games. They keep their interviews formal, and seem to keep a well-mannered appearance. When the Giants won the NFC Championship however, they seemed to be much like the Red Sox in the sense that they were caking each other with champagne and ecstatic with emotions of making it that far.

I am upset for the Patriots, more in the sense that they came so far and were one game away from it all. How does one not think about that everyday for the rest of their life? At the same time I find the Giants deserving of the victory. And I like to witness upsets.
