New York Giants Win the Super Bowl- Now Four Time Super Bowl Champions

-
Congratulations to the New York Football Giants on winning Super Bowl XLVI.


The Giants just proved; always believe, keep the faith, be professional & always play together like a team! This championship makes the Giants four time Super Bowl winners (third most in history) & Eight time NFL Champions. It was their fifth Super Bowl appearance ( fourth most- tied) in history.

Thats two Championship titles for Eli Manning & Coach Tom Coughlin, dare we say Hall of Fame already? Thanks you guys for bringing us fans a little more joy. What a season, six straight wins, great defense, always hanging in there & just let Eli lead us in the end.
Tonight the Giants once again beat the New England Patriots, Tom Brady & coach Bill Belichick. Like Brandon Jacobs said post game about a so called Patriot dynasty " We decapitated the baby" !

Eli's pass to Mario Manningham has already become another legendary Giants play, one for the ages. Yes, we were down but what Giant fan wasn't confident giving Eli the ball with three minutes left, Eli Shall Lead Us, Once again! The drive completed by Amhad Bradshaw falling into the end zone, with New England thinking Brady could win with a minute left. Once again what Giant fan wasn't confident in Big Blues defense, after the performances they have had the past two months?

The win  makes the Giants the first team to win Super Bowls in four different decades. The second win in four years in similar to the 1986/1990 wins.

And by the way it was 25 years ago the Giants won Super Bowl XXI & yes they scored a safety in that one & went into that half time behind 10-9 just like this one. The Giants made no mistakes, when they fumbled they recovered it themselves. Just as in weeks past they let the other teams beat themselves with their own mistakes.





"We are the champions"........................

centerfieldmaz was shocked to learn of the sudden passing of Jan Kuehnemund, the founding member of the all female metal band Vixen. Jan was a fantastic guitarist, song writer & women pioneer in Heavy Metal. I am a huge fan of hard rock all girl bands & Vixen were one my long time favorites. Janice Lynn Kuehnemund was born November 18th, 1961 in St. Paul Minnesota. The female guitarist formed one of the first all female Metal bands in Minnesota with singer Janet Gardner while in high school in 1980. By 1985 they moved the band to Los Angles California, to be part of the Heavy Metal scene.

centerfieldmaz interrupts baseball with a sad note on one of his favorite actresses. Being a huge Batman (TV series) fan Yvonne Craig has been someone I adored since I was a child.  As a boy I always hoped the Batgirl cycle would wiz by on the opening credits, meaning it would be a Batgirl episode. I didn't realize why until I got older & liked girls. For myself & millions of young boys of the 60's / 70's Batgirl was one of our first crushes. But her character also she added so much more than that to the final season of Batman. She was special in so many ways ... rest in peace Batgirl! Yvonne Joyce Craig was born May 16th 1937 in Taylorville, Illinois. As a young girl she was a talented ballet dancer, getting accepted to the prestigious Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. She eventually moved to Los Angeles & began an acting career. She landed a part in Gidget (1959) as one of Gidget's beach...
