This Super Bowl is Not Red Sox -Yankees
As much as the press wants to make the matchup of the New York Giants against the New England Patriots as a continuation of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry it does not fit. The Patriots and Giants do not have a long history of playing against each other in the same division, there is no Babe Ruth, no amazing comebacks, no Munson-Fisk brawls at home plate. There are many old time Giants fans in New England left over from the pre Patriots days when the Giants were the closest team to Boston. There are even may Bostonians on the Giants staff. You will not see any Patriots Suck shirts at the Meadowlands and in Foxborough and you will not hear any 19-90 chants in Foxborough . Enjoy the game no matter what team you root for and understand that after Sunday people in Boston and New York will not care who won the game for long....after all, its almost time for spring training.

The folks in New York are making it all about New York vs. Boston. The deep rooted hatred may not be the same, but New York fans talked trash all week, and even after winning, the screaming hatred only increased on the radio and in the papers. Hey, the Giants won, but it sure feels like the New Yorkers are trying to make up for nearly a decade of championship drought by being rather ungracious winners.
