“She was a
true New Yorker – she yelled, spoke and drove like one and was a faithful Met’s
and NY Giants fan; I imagine it is a little late for her to turn the Met’s
around, but do not be surprised with a NY Giants super bowl win this
year.” – Danielle Vermitsky
I wrote
those words into my mother’s eulogy on September 8, 2011.
On
February 5, 2012, The NY Giants went on to win Super Bowl XLVI.
The
regular season started off fantastic and then the Giants fell into a slum of
losses so I began to think those words above would never be fulfilled and my
faith dwindled. I sat there and thought to myself, “How silly of me to
think that my mother the NY Giants # 1 fan would have any pull in heaven to
carry them to victory.”
However,
things began to happen and my faith began to restore.
The NY
Giants squeaked into the playoffs with a regular season ending at 9-7.
First game was the wild card playoffs on January 8, 2012 against the
Atlanta Falcons, it was anyone’s game, but Big Blue prevailed so on to the next
round. On January 15, 2012, Big Blue defeated the Green Bay Packers and
won the division playoffs. The Conference Championship was at stake on
January 22, 2012 against the San Francisco 49’ers. A very good and CLOSE
game, but Blue won and were off to Super Bowl XLVI for a re-match against the
New England Patriots.
Big Blue
Prevailed and brought the Vince Lombardi home to New York, where it belongs!
