To this day,...I think about that day all the time. To this day, I still sit with Giants fans and say, "We won the Super Bowl!". Everyone smiles...it makes everything better. It actually helped me get through last year's awful baseball season. I just kept saying, "At least we won the Super Bowl". I think I may even have to take some responsibility for what happened to the Yankees. I had been saying for a couple of years that I would give up a Yankee season for a Giants Super Bowl. <br /><br />The day after the Super Bowl I think I spent about $300 in Super Bowl merchandise. The parade was incredible. <br /><br />I agree. There will never be a better sports day than that day. That may sound sad, but so few people have ever experienced a moment like that one. Hell, beating Dallas and Green Bay were some of the best things that ever happpened also! The night they beat Green Bay was one of the best nights of my life. I just kept yelling, "Super Bowl!", over and over. I vowed to enjoy the next two weeks and I never seriously considered beating the Patriots. I just enjoyed every last second of those two weeks. At least until about a half hour before kick off and then it all hit me. Watching that game was actually painful. I felt sick. It just all hit me at once. It is actually on dvd. My Aunt recorded us watching the game...one of the best memories I will have. <br /><br />I obviously could go on and on, and I enjoy doing so!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851986562628551289.post-54079259843882156502009-08-14T19:22:49.255-04:002009-08-14T19:22:49.255-04:00No it seriously was.

I celebrated the 1 year anniversary of it last year, and I just can't imagine anything being more amazing than that day. <br /><br />Sigh. ALmost bittersweet, really. <br /><br />"That's why I hate bittersweet chocolate. I don't even-- What's the point of that? Why not just sweet?
