Many said the Giants were underdogs, but this time the underdogs were did things right. The Giants and Eli Manning showed the naysayers just why underdogs shouldn’t be counted out. Even though Eli’s performance appeared to be peaking over the last few games, one dared not breathe that what so many said was impossible just might happen.  It was like going down a checklist of things to do to lead to a win. Eli Manning showed poise and patience in the the pocket, check. The Eli Manning on the field in Arizona was not the one we saw at the beginning of the season, he was focused and determined to hold up his end of the game. Offensive line make plays not mistakes, check. These player seemed hungry enough to go that extra bit to win. Contain the opposing offense, check. With the Giants defensive line blitzing and containing the Patriots offense to just 14 points everything was in place for the Giants to win. Congrats guys, well done. 

So hats off to the Giants and New York, party time! 

Well, Tiger Woods is on the record breaking road again. This time he has tied the record of 62 PGA tour wins held by Arnold Palmer. Woods won the tournament by a record eight strokes over  Ryuiji Imada who came in second.  The win also puts him two wins behind Ben Hogan’s record.

Arnold Palmer, who is 78, was playing golf himself when Tiger Woods won the tournament. He was among the first to congratulate Tiger on the win and the tie.

“I congratulate Tiger,” he said. “I’m sure that there are many, many more coming in the future. There isn’t any question about that. I wish him all the luck in the world.”

It’s the national past-time and a game every new dad dreams of teaching his son but with allegations of the illegal use of performance enhancing drugs by some of the great play makers casts an ugly shadow over the game. Brian McNamee claimed to have injected seven time Cy Young award winner Roger Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone. Roger Clemens forcefully denies and such use:

“I want to state clearly and without qualification: I did not take steroids, human growth hormone or any other banned substances at any time in my baseball career or, in fact, my entire life,” Clemens said. “Those substances represent a dangerous and destructive shortcut that no athlete should ever take.”

Maybe it is naive, but Roger Clemens deserves the benefit of the doubt, until such time as he either admits using these drugs or there is some other proof that he did becomes available. He seemed a modest stand up guy most of his career, seems unlikely that would change now.
