The Legitimacy of Super Bowls 17 & 22

i think eli has proven himself to be great, a hof lock.

as clutch as they come when it counts the most.

I gotta agree with Panda. I use to thinl Eli was a bum but he's helped lead his team to two Superbowls and has delivered many clutch performances. Manning is a great quarterback. I'm not going to take that away from him just because I don't like the Giants.

Seems like it is you who needs the convincing about the legitimacy of the Skins titles, not the Giants fans. In fact, I have never in my life ever heard a Giants fan make the claim to which you are accusing.

You failed to mention the 91 Redskins. Anyway, I hear that argument in New York City all the time from NYG fans. Not all of them, but those of them who claim to really know football. Once the NFL commissioner presents the Vince Lombardi trophy to an NFL organization, that alone legitimizes the SB victory, I tell them. It's sort of like a new world leader being sworn in.
