Throw Your Heart Over the Wall and Your Body Will Follow

Tonight the Giants had more heart than Greenbay and are consequentially superbowl-bound. In a fist-clenching game, sitting on the floor as close to the TV as possible, I think I almost had a heart attack.
My first outrage was at the "incomplete pass" call on Burress during the last 2 minutes of the first half. The booth should have at least reviewed the play. The ground caused the ball to come loose. That should have been a complete pass on the 1 yard line.

The second outrage for me came when Tynes misseds the damn field goal with 8 minutes left in the half. Bejeezus.

The third pulse-stopper was during the interception-fumble resulting in a first down on the 20 for GB! That just seems wrong.

The fourth heart attack was the second missed field goal with 3 seconds to go. Are you kidding me???????
The fifth came when Eli called "tails". You ALWAYS call heads!

Fortunately it all worked out in the end. Fantastic job by the Giants. Beautiful throws, plays, and historic records broken (most consecutive wins on the road).
And we're going to the SUPERBOWL DARNIT!
