David slew Goliath. Good beat evil. The Giants beat the Patriots.
In my life, I have watched well over one thousand NFL games - including over 200 games in person. Other than the outcome of games involving my beloved Packers, I have never been so excited about a victory as I was on Sunday. More accurately, I was never more excited about a loss.
The Patriots were arrogant. The coach cheated on his wife and secretly taped the practices of opponents. One of the "stars" of the Patriots is Randy Moss, a player well-known for obscene gestures on the field and trying to run over parking enforcement officers ticketing his car. The Boston Herald printed copies of a book called "19 - 0: The Perfect Season" prior to the Super Bowl.
I have never once prayed to God to influence the score of a sporting event. However, I think even God had a smirk on His face when the final gun sounded and the score of the Super Bowl was the Giants 17 and the Patriots 14.
