Super Bowl 50: Top 5 Things New York Giants Fans Will Focus On
By Mike Luca
Super Bowl 50 originally pre-destined a New York Giants-New England Patriots three-peat. 2008 and 2012 witnessed an equal four-year gap between the monumental upsets, the G-Men were a long shot once more, DeflateGate still shed swag and the momentous campaign that is the NFL’s 50th Super Bowl called for such symbolic representation of a fan’s star-gazing fantasies.
Donald Trump was supposed to win Iowa, too. The Giants, Pats, Trump and 30 other franchises reside with regular America disgruntled but ready for the Denver Broncos to take on the Carolina Panthers.
It cannot be easy for a player to accept the consolation of merely watching a Super Bowl, as most of the league will devote a year of preparation to fundamentally not realizing that goal. Drew Brees, for one, of the New Orleans Saints admitted how if it weren’t for the press box invitation to previous MVPs, he most likely wouldn’t partake.
Although the array of blown fourth-quarter leads may sting well into July, Big Blue blood prominently flows through Sunday’s championship bout anyway.
Besides the featured storylines of Cam Newton’s polarization, Peyton Manning’s decline and the hopeful avoidance of another 43-8 fiasco, there is plenty in this matchup for Giants fans, players, coaches and upper management to grab hold of. Allow yourself to be enveloped by the festivities and root for the fates of these five figures.
