Coughlin: Nobody remembers Super Bowl loser

Finishing our 'Weekend with Gisele,' here is today's offering.
Tom Coughlin has pushed lots of right buttons this seasons, delivering messages his players have taken to heart.

Now, TC is telling the Giants they had better be in it to win it, when it comes to Sunday's Super Bowl.

"It helps to get us to focus what the main thing is: You're not going out there just to play a game, you're going out there to win a game," said David Tyree. "We've had the wisdom of (Michael) Strahan and (Amani) Toomer, who have been there before, to express to us who haven't been there before that it really [stinks] to lose it. It's really nice, all the hoopla that goes along with going, but when you lose, it completely deflates your bubble. We going down there with a humble mentality. We know what we're up against. We're going out to Arizona to win a game."

Injured players Rich Seubert and Kevin Dockery both practiced Saturday.

Super Giants' fan Carl was interviewed by Sporting News Radio Saturday. Of course, he's picking the Giants.

Peyton Manning showers his brother with praise.

Corey Webster has turned his career around during the playoffs.

i remember some of the super bowl losers
the 90-93 Bills, the '88 bengals for choking, the '85 patriots and '00 giants for the ass-beatings they took, the '04 panthers who were arguably the worst super bowl team ever and the '05 seahawks who got hosed.

but i don't remember any of the others.

That would be
the 90-93 Bills, like he said.

Note to self...
Coffee FIRST.  Comments second.  Especially on a Monday.

When the games are good
The losing teams are usually memorable.  Both Cincinnati teams from the '80s (one with Ken Anderson, one with Boomer) were excellent.  The '99 Titans were an inch from beating the Rams.  And two  years later, the Rams were one awful coaching job away from delaying the start of the Pats dynasty.

You just don't want to end up like the '94 Chargers or, gulp, the '00 Giants.

I think that's what I like about...
the patriot's (winning) superbowls.  they have all been good close games.

for instance the pat's panther's game was amazing... (in the replay, I was on a plane from the end of the first quarter, score 0-0.  the captain was relaying the scores during the flight, and everytime the score changed the flight attendant would come by with another beer... we landed as the score was tied, and pulled into the gate as the captain announced the final score... I was so frazzled getting off that flight.)

I'll never forget either team in any of the patriot's superbowls, win or lose...
