The Manning Brothers
Two years in a row. Brother quarterbacks for different teams win the Super Bowl.

It will never happen again.

damn.

How great was this game!

1. I'm in my office in Manhattan
and all I'm seeing are bleary eyed New Yorkers with grins from ear to ear. Our team was golden last night.

2. And not just that-- both MVPs of the games, too!
Impressive.

9. yes it could
with these two. it seems unlikely to happen to another set of brothers anytime soon, however.

and they were both MVPS, don't forget.

hopefully Eli can avoid cashing every single company's check if they are interested in advertising.

12. Why not?
What if they do it again the next two years?

6. It was indeed a great game
and I'm not a sports fan, but those last couple minutes... we were both standing and hooting.

7. And I'd have to say I think Eli might go down in history as
the better quarterback. It's taken him a while to find himself, but it'll be fascinating to see what happens next year.

And as somebody who doesn't root for either Manning-led team, I think it'd be crazy fun to watch the two of them duke it out in a super bowl.

10. Can the Vikings get either of the Mannings?
We already had Archie...we deserve the good karma!

11. As soon as the Giants beat the 'Boys in the playoffs, that's what I was hoping for...
brother vs. brother in the Super Bowl. Would have been awesome. As it was, great Super Bowl!

13. While watching Eli Manning play last night, I kept saying,
"This is going to be great for the DSRL!"
