The New York Giants are determined to make it a worthy outing this NFL season as they are currently on a signing spree and the latest player to have received a six year extension is their guard Chris Snee. The signing of Chris Snee will give the much needed boost to the Giants offensive line up and it is reported that a whopping sum of $43.5 million is the contract amount agreed upon by both parties. The stacks are high as far as Giants are concerned as they are the worthy NFL champions last season and are making all efforts to repeat the feat this season as well. Chris Snee will be contracted to the Giants till 2014. There will be brisk sales of tickets for Giants home games when the fans hear this news.

An ideal setting on a Sunday night, the 4th Feb, for the Super Bowl XLII saw the titans New England Patriots take on the so called minnows New York Giants at Glendale in Arizona. The amazing defensive tactics of Tom Brady, the most valuable NFL player of this season and the able support provided by the quarterback Eli Manning showcased on of the major upsets seen in the Super Bowl history as the Giants defeated the mighty Patriots by 17 – 14. The Patriots were believed to be an undefeatable side for a long time and this surprising victory for the Giants came after a defeat in the regular season final held on December 29th.

The Giants had nothing to loose in this match and were playing with competitive spirit and a sense of pride as they were not expected to score a win over the Patriots. Bill Belichick, the coach of Patriots who was expecting his team to run over the New York Giants witnessed one of the disastrous collapses of his team. John Mara, the Giants co-owner was a pleased man that night and dedicated the upset victory to the fans that have supported the team all along in moments of triumphs as well as disasters.

The Giants are a better team and Eli Manning is a better quarterback on the road. However, again on Sunday, the New York Giants were stunned by the Vikings, 41-17. Eli Manning hasn’t thrown an interception in his last 2 road matches as the New York Giants have built a 4-game winning streak away from their home Stadium. At 4-1, New York is one of the League’s best road teams. However, at 3-3, they are one of the worst home teams among the playoff contenders
