Superbowl

Ok so i'd like to give some little known facts on the superbowl.

1. Eli Manning, Junior Seau, Rodney Harrison, Wes Welkers - All former Chargers. Why does this matter. It doesn't but I'm a chargers fan and this was interesting to me. Eli was actually drafted and then traded to the Giants for Philip Rivers and two drafts that would become Nate Kading and Shawn Merriman so yeah...

2. The Patriots ended offically at 18-1. They are the third team to do that...so winning 18 wasn't a first, but winning 18 in a row was. They also are the first team to finish 18-1 and NOT win the Superbowl. The other teams were the 1984 49ers and the 1985 Bears. Both won the superbowl.

3. This is the second straight superbowl a Manning won. Big brother Peyton won it last year (beat the pats in the AFC Championship) and little brother Eli won it this year.

4. The Giant are the first team to start the season 0-2 and win the superbowl. Usually teams start 0-2 and don't make the playoffs.

5. Jeff Feagles of the Giants is the oldest player to every play the Superbowl. (41 years old)

6. This was Junior Seau 2nd superbowl. His first was with the chargers at Superbowl XXIX where they were blown out by the 49ers. His second was this one where his team lost again. He is 38years old.

7. Michael Strahann played in his second Superbowl winning this one. His first was Superbowl XXXV where they lost to the Ravens.

8. The Combination of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady had never lost a Superbowl game (3-0) before this one (3-1)

9. Plaxico Burress guarantied a Win in this game with a score of 23-17. The Final score was 17-14.

10. The Giants lost there first two games...Lost Tiki Barber, their star running back who retired early...Michael Strahann nearly retired at the begining of the season...Eli Manning's leadership was being questions left and right...Tom Cofflin, there coach had to practically beg for his job...and they go on to beat the previously unbeaten partiots and win the Superbowl.

11. The Giants played the Patriots 3 times this year: 1st a loss 27-20 at the end of the pre-season. 2nd a loss 38-35 at the end of the regular season. 3rd a win, 17-14 at the end of the post season...the Superbowl. The only game that really mattered.

12. The Chargers will come back next year and win the superbowl! They will go 13-3 and come into the playoff hot winning the superbowl....not a fact but a predictions.
