The New York giants continued to celebrate their Super Bowl victory by making their way down to Wall Street, where the city is holding a tickertape parade.
Well, well, I guess that answers that. The greatest team of all time isn't the New England Patriots. The greatest quarterback of all time isn't Tom Brady. And THE football family of all time has to be the Archie Manning family. Two NFL quarterbacks for sons. Two Super Bowl starting quarterbacks. Two winners. Two MVPs.
Eli Manning: He's going to get a shot at becoming a big-time endorser. Can he do it? What companies will try to sign him? He's now put himself in the position to get deals. The 1972 Dolphins: The Reebok ad wasn't their last hurrah after all. The revenue stream that comes every year to the likes of Bob Griese, Larry Czonka and Mercury Morris is still alive and well.
Yes, the game was incredible. So good, you could argue that, for once, the Super Bowl commercials took a back seat to the game. But for two automakers, Audi and Hyundai, the big game was big chance to show off two big models. Audi's spot for the new R8 ran early in game and played off the famous scene in "The Godfather"...
Floor traders are in a great mood after the Giants win! President Bush acknowledging a weaker economy will lead to higher deficits. Looking for budget deficit to double to $410 billion. What's up with China? Shanghai Composite up 8% overnight. And: Airlines looking up.
