In the spirit of the Sports Guy, Casey and I thought it would be fun to both keep a running diary during the game. A running diary from both points of view - from a Giants perspective and vice versa. I have left what I wrote intact and didn’t change a thing today – except for spellchecking. I am on the record as saying I will never do this again, as I now view this as bad … [Read more...] about The Highs and Lows (very) of Super Bowl XLII – Running Diary
