People in New York will watch anyways, because it is the Super Bowl. Really the story lines and the interest in the game will determine the ratings. The National interest is what matters most. That is why the Eagles Cowboys game is the highest rated game ever, because of the story lines, great rivalry, and excitement for a great game.

Also please stop with the Giants handed the game crap. The Eagles took the game. The defense flat out owned the Giants offense. Go watch the game again, and this time focus more on the Eagles defense. They were inspired, and made the big plays when they had to.

The Giants handled themselves with class all year.  They showed confidence but were always humble, a pleasant surprise for a defending Superbowl champ.  Brandon Jacobs is a class act. I ask you, Giants fans, to root for the Eagles against the Cards next week.  Let's represent the NFC East. You know- I am impressed.

Ya'll won last year on Defense and a vicious ground attack.  You can't win them all.  Take heart though...  you could be a Lions fan.  losing plexico killed the deep threat. also manning is horrifically overrated.

Anyway, as for the Giants- they had a great season.  I don't know if going back to drawing board is what they need.  If their number one receiver could stop shooting himself I think they'd be in great shape.

They always draw high TV ratings and their fans travel better than most of the other teams in the league. All due respect, the Eagles are a “big market” team.

The 2002 NFC Championship game against the Bucs was the worst feeling in the world. For the only time in my whole life, I was hungry but couldn't eat. I took one bite of a slice of pizza and just couldn't eat it. I've been kicked in the gut by all 4 teams over and over. But lo and behold, the Phillies made it all worth it. All that pain and suffering is, while not entirely gone (maybe with two more Eagles wins and a Flyers run in April-June), a little less painful. It's these kinds of loses like the one you experienced today that makes those championships like the Super Bowl and World Series worth it. Good season and we'll see you next season.
