Our MVP is David Tyree

First off, pretty phenomenal fourth quarter. Congrats to the Giants and all of their fans. Walking around Manhattan last night was an amazing spectacle. Copious amounts of alcohol + a Super Bowl win = quite a scene. On the upper west side, there were about 400 folks outside of Brother Jimmy's dancing around yelling: "Party in the street, party in the street..." interspersed with "Boston sucks" and "18-1."

In terms of the game, we're not going to re-hash what Jaws, Keyshawn and the always-insightful Emmitt Smith had to say. We just want to take this moment to give some props to former Syracuse standout David Tyree. We can't really argue giving Eli the hardware. But if ever a receiver with two catches made a case for Super Bowl MVP it was Tyree.

One touchdown and one ridiculous reception helped the Giants take home football's biggest prize. One touchdown and one reception capped one of the great stories in recent NFL history. Tyree, long a special teams star, had an opportunity to make a play in the fourth quarter to salvage a drive, a season and a chance at a championship -- and he did.

When watching that catch on replay, it was impossible not to think about the grab made by Alabama's Tyrone Prothrow a few seasons ago. At the time, I remembered thinking that the destined-to-be Pontiac game changing play of the year catch was possibly the best I'd ever seen. Tyree's catch on Sunday was better. Two defenders. Everything one the line. Having to hold on as he fell several feet from air to ground. And all on the biggest stage in professional sports. It kept alive a drive...a season...and a glimmer of hope for the G-Men. Roll it up and you've got one of the single greatest plays in Super Bowl history.

Well-deserved for a sixth round draft pick who's scrapped and clawed and made a career of doing the often thankless work of a special teamer. Enjoy some time in the spotlight, Mr. Tyree. You've earned it.
