The New York Giants aren't the greatest Super Bowl champ we've seen. Not close. They are, however, the most appropriate.

Thanks to labor strife, the 2011 season was a rush job. Who better to prevail than the first 9-7 Super Bowl winner in history, a team that spent most of the season looking like strangers stuck in an elevator together, a team that won it all in part because it overcame even more fumbling against the surprisingly skittish Patriots.

What helped the Giants in their own division is that the Philadelphia Eagles' "Dream Team" appeared to leave meetings at the team hotel and take 53 separate elevators to their rooms. I haven't seen that kind of chemistry since Britney married Jason Alexander. "
