The Giants win Super Bowl XLII 17-14 over the Patriots!

With heavy betting favoring that Brady and his New England cohorts, who were undefeated - 18-0 - through the regular season and two playoff games, would win their fourth championship in six years, the game went off with the Patriots giving 12 points to the Giants. The Giants entered the championship game having won 10 straight on the road, and began the season as a 20:1 favorite to win the Super Bowl in the Vegas sports books.

Curious bit of trivia: This Super Bowl was played at the University of Phoenix Stadium. University of Phoenix is an private institution of higher learning known for its online and evening business classes...the school does not have a sports program much less a football team! The stadium name is misleading, but is actually quite common in the world of corporations and municipal sports venues, it is located in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale and is the home of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals and plays host to college football's BCS Fiesta Bowl.
