Sunday’s Giants Links
The path to the Superbowl is getting clearer and clearer. The Packers and the Patriots won their games. I live for watching games like what took place in Title Town, USA yesterday. I love when it snows. It’s a shame that Indianapolis, Detroit, and Minnesota all have domes. Today, we got a game for the ages. The Giants are the 3rd most winningest franchise in the NFL, and the Cowboys are tied for 4th with 4 other teams. The Packers are are the most winningest franchise followed by the Bears. The Packers will play in another NFC Championship game, but the Bears didn’t make the Playoffs. If the Cowboys win then they will host the NFC Championship game. If the Giants win the game, then the Packers will host the NFC Championship game. I’m hoping that we get to play at Lambeau Field next week. I was very upset that Tom Brady broke Phil Simms’ completion percentage record in a Playoff game last night while Simms was broadcasting the game.

Giants are New York’s only feel-good story - Ain’t that the truth. The Jets had a terrible season. We had to deal with the Mitchell Report rocking Major League Baseball in the offseason. The Knicks have been the worst run franchise in NBA history for decades, and it’s only getting worse. The NHL will start to pick up once the NFL Playoffs come to an end.

5 moments from Giants-Cowboys past - Gary Myers put together an interesting read. Since the Cowboys didn’t exist as long as the Giants have, the meetings between the two teams can only go back so far. The Cowboys came about in 1960, so they aren’t like the Giants, Bears, Packers, Redskins, or Eagles who have been around much, much longer.

Q: Antonio Pierce’s best trash-talking moment?
A: When he walks up to the line of scrimmage and the quarterback’s making checks? (He’ll say) “That’s not gonna work,” and bleep like that.
COWBOYS’ BEEF IS PRIME DIFFERENCE
ELI MUST BE TOUGH ‘OTHER’ - By reading the title, I would have no idea what the article is about. Steve Serby is saying that Eli Manning has to be the other quarterback, besides Phil Simms and Jeff Hostetler, to win a Superbowl. Since the Superbowl Era, the Giants have won two Superbowls.

The Star-Ledger:
GM Reese’s pieces translate to sweet sucess - Jerry Reese had a great first year as the Giants GM. Many of his picks in the draft are contributing in the Playoffs. He didn’t even flinch when Strahan tried to stronghold the team. This is something I was going to cover after the G-MEN won the Superbowl, or got eliminated.
