Whereas, on Sunday, February 3, 2008, the New York Giants defeated the New

Whereas the Giants, who were double-digit underdogs, overcame overwhelming odds 
        to defeat the Patriots;
Whereas Giants owners John K. Mara and Steve Tisch have built the Giants 
        organization into a championship caliber team;
Whereas Eli Manning, having led a game-winning drive for 83 yards at the end of 
        the fourth quarter, was named the game's Most Valuable Player;
Whereas David Tyree's game-breaking catch will forever go down in Super Bowl 
        history as one of the greatest plays ever;
Whereas the relentless onslaught of the Giants defensive line, highlighted by 
        spectacular plays by Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, and team Captain 
        Michael Strahan, sacked Patriots quarterback Tom Brady 5 times;
Whereas the Giants capped off an amazing playoff run by winning all 4 playoff 
        games on the road as underdogs;
Whereas Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, in his first appearance in the Super 
        Bowl, lead his team to victory from the wild card spot;
Whereas this marks the third time in franchise history that the Giants have won 
        the Super Bowl;
Whereas the Giants attract fans from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut to 
        their home games in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and to away games 
        across the country; and
Whereas Giants fans from across the tri-state region have rallied together to 
        cheer the Giants for coming from behind to win in the biggest upset in 
        Super Bowl history: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate congratulates the New York Giants on 
their victory in Super Bowl XLII.
