T-Rock's Take on the Giants

While waiting for Eli to come out and scoop up this nice, white Escalade sitting on the third floor of the Phoenix Convention Center...

-- John and Chris Mara standing in the middle of the winners' locker room, chuckling over having to sit in a suite instead of their preferred spots in the press box. Their mother, Ann, and several children were in there. There was a moderate amount of cursing.

"We tried," Chris said.

-- Only in a scene like that would you have a billionaire (Steve Tisch) and a practice-squad running back (Kay-Jay Harris) having a chat about winning a title. "That's the right ending," Tisch said, referring to his chat 10 days ago about what a Hollywood story his Giants have been.

-- A big crowd around Peyton Manning, almost bigger than the one that greeted Eli once he was done at the podium. Maybe it's time to retire that storyline, seeing as how Eli and his brother have accomplished the same thing now, with Eli in less time.

-- Jeff Feagles, tears in his eyes still, with his four boys around him. "I'm in shock," he said, his voice hoarse. "There's no words to describe this."

-- Lexington, Mass., native Dave DeGuglielmo, the Giants assistant OL coach, shouting as he got off the elevator to join the celebration: "Now that's a wicked pissah!"
