"It had been one of those nights when we were reminded that even though they have won just four Super Bowls in their history and eight NFL championships in all, the Giants can still feel like the biggest team we have, and that includes the Yankees. The Yankees are there in the playoffs every year, of course, and have won an epic number of World Series.

The Giants win better.

Now, second time in four years, they win better than any New York team ever has.

Say it again: You can put all the other great seasons up against them, Namath and Seaver and Willis Reed and whatever you think is the best Yankee victory of them all. Nothing beats what the Giants have done to the Patriots in these two Super Bowls."
