Preventing Perfection

Everyone in America, outside of New England and frontrunners, was rooting forthe Giants to beat the Patriots. Rooting for the underdog to strike down the evil empire. It didn't happen.

The Giants hung tough, but Eli Manning just can't seem to get it done in New York. He ended the game with the worst ever touchdown drive in NFL history. Spike the ball! Kick a field goal! Don't call timeout! Alas, we put our faith in a dud.

I've been thinking, maybe it'll be much sweeter if the Patriots go 16-0 and then lose in the playoffs. They'd be forever remembered as the king of all choke-artists. Yes, that would be lovely.
