    giants

    Quick Thought: Giants continue to show their mettle

    Their story is one of luck and effort — Cinderella and Paul Bunyan, if you will. Fortunate and forthright, the Giants go on, and, at this point, why should we be surprised?

    Their victory was the most absorbing one yet in this run. It was a slog through the Green Bay tundra and endless penalties that in every way took the measure of the Giants’ desire, and deservedness, to reach Super Bowl XLII.

    Now, in two weeks, comes the ultimate test: the New England Patriots, who edged the Giants by three points in their thrilling final regular-season game.

    Even as the NFL’s first 18-0 team, the Patriots cannot claim the kind of spellbound momentum that courses through the heart of Big Blue. The odds will be against the Giants more than ever, but yet again, they’ll be too committed and resilient to bother with others’ expectations for them.

    — Max
