I have to be honest, I doubted Eli Manning in the beginning of the season.  It looked like we weren’t going anywhere and would’ve been another year down the pipes.  However, thanks to some critics such as Tiki Barber, I believe gave Eli the motivation to do better.  He was unstoppable in the playoffs and in Super Bowl 42.  As he said “I think I finally came out of my shell”, I think he was right.  Eli and his giants beat the undefeated Patriots and possibly one of the best teams of all time.  And he won MVP also.  He didn’t do it alone though either.  Other key players such as Ahmad Bradshaw, Plaxico Burress and the entire giants defense shut the patriots down.  For the first time this year, Tom Brady and the Patriots saw defeat, and it was at the worst time they could have witnessed it.  The giants were underdogs and proved that anything is possible.

I was absent to hear Chief Dan Daly but I’m sure he was a good speaker and had very useful information and taught us a lot according to Ms. Browne, who said he was a great guy.
