Watch It!

Great montage because it shows how well the Giants executed all game long (unlike other videos that show the Tyree helmet catch 500 times at varying speeds):





And, my favorite, that still makes me emotional after watching it roughly 3000 times:

Man I'll tell you something, speaking of the Davi Tyree catch. I was in a Barnes & Noble in Brooklyn last night and I was wandering around and I came to the sports section...there were at least 9 books about the giants superbowl win. One caught my eye however "More Than A Catch" by some guy with David Tyree. I admit, I started laughing out loud, then remembering where I was I picked up the Christian Peter biography and skimmed while scanning my peripherals to make sure I hadn't offended anyone. (Fortunately no one heard me, and I was wearing a Celtics hat so I could have found myself in some sort of Boston-New York standoff which would not have been desirable)

Anyway, I thought it was hilarious that there was a book about David Tyree, by David Tyree and some guy (like all athletes' books I guess). All he ever did was make that catch. Its interesting that there is a market for books with guys who won superbowls, Im sure there will be more out next year too with some guy who plays a big role in the postseason for X or Y team. I know the patriots have more than their share of these books and I bet 90% of all of them suck ass. My two cents.

The Christian Peter Biography looks awesome by the way, its called "Hero of the Underground".
