So often the “air” of invincibility these days is simply “made and imagined” by the media. I don’t mean to take anything away from the Patriots; for sure they deserved to play in the Super bowl this past Sunday. But with their 18-0 record and all the talk about this team being perhaps the best to ever play the game, does it seem funny to anyone that from the first play of the game the team didn’t look like they really wanted to win. I know that sounds funny, but really, have you watched any of the film?  Whether it was how they acted after each play or the expressions on their faces, it seemed to me, from the first play of the game onward that the Patriots just lacked “something.” In a nut shell, they were certainly not inspiring.

Now, the Giants on the other hand made repeated mistakes right and left, and these were quite obvious for all to see. Nevertheless, despite their weaknesses—their tenacity and their commitment created that special “something” and it was evident by the poise and constant readiness of the Giants.  This is what enabled the New York Giants to overcome the supposedly “invincible.” The Giant’s last drive in the game, kept alive by a hand & helmet catch by David Tyree–a backup’s backup, should remind us all that the reason you “keep hanging on” in life is not just so you can say you kept hanging on, its so you can win!

The Giant’s showed a generation last Sunday night that it is possible to beat the “Invincible.””Turn Your Brain-On” – Do a little Reading…
