The highs and lows of any season can wear out a sports fan and this past Sunday, no matter which team you were rooting for, fans experienced an 'emotional roller coaster' of a day.
For all who laughed when Eli proclaimed himself an "elite" quarterback, it's time to hunker down to a nice helping of urban bird.
The Giants are going to the Super Bowl, thanks to Jacquian Williams. Wait, who?
The Giants have bought in 100 percent with their 65-year-old coach, and he is enjoying every second of it.
Based on their success, the Giants and their fans have every reason in the world to be feeling good these days.
Watch out, Brady. The Giants are playing like a team possessed, as displayed Sunday in San Francisco.
They do keep working, this team. And that ethic has brought them yet another opportunity for pro football's ultimate reward.
Eli vs. Brady. Coughlin vs. Belichick. The Giants vs. the Patriots. Sound familiar?
After a hard-fought battle with the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship, the New England Patriots are heading to their fifth Super Bowl since 2001.
Neil Keefe never thought the Giants would be here. No one did. But now they're one win away from going to the Super Bowl. Neil looks at Giants-49ers and makes his picks for championship weekend.
There will be a collision course on the road to Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, when the Baltimore Ravens take on the New England Patriots in the AFC title game.

When Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos take the field Saturday night against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, it will be a matchup of epic proportions.
Who's having a better season, Tim Tebow or Cam Newton? I imagine 90 percent of you will instantly assert that Newton is the better player. And I agree. But I don't think he's having a better year.
The primary problem with pro football doesn't lie on the laps of renegades, but with the inherent, inevitable physics of the game itself. As long as behemoths crash into each other, we will have concussions.
If you woke up Monday morning utterly disgusted, you had every right. Jets Nation was taken to the woodshed Sunday night in every possible way. A superior football mind did a number on the brash and the bovine.
Here's a guarantee that I feel pretty good about: The Jets will not be AFC East Champions. There will be no changing of the guard. For the Jets to make the playoffs, they will have to go through their familiar route of getting a wild card spot.
