Coughlin's Final Message To Giants -- FINISH!

Tom Coughlin's final 2012 Super Bowl message to the New York Giants was exactly what you might have expected it to be -- FINISH what you started.
Here are three tweets from Inside Football editor Pat Traina regarding the message Coughlin delivered.
Coughlin talked about that message earlier in the week.
"It was the first thing we hit them with," Coughlin said, "and it'll be the last thing they hear from us before they take the field."
Here, also from Giants.com, is a little tidbit about the way Coughlin approaches his work.
"I coach them right up through the kickoff," Coughlin said. "I've never been a believer in, I don't like the phrase, ‘The hay in the barn' business. That's not the case at all. I've always felt you have to - you coach them, you talk to them, you look with them. There is always something that can be discussed or talked about. You're literally doing it, right up until the kickoff. You're talking during the course of the warm-up. You're making little comments that they can grab a hold of. I think you continuously, decide what it is, the two or three key things that you're really interested in as you go forward as you spend your Saturday and Saturday night with your team. You try to bring the entire week or two weeks into context with them, so that they understand exactly where they are and what they have to do in order to win. I don't think it ever stops," Coughlin said.

also talked, and finshed with love
Saying how he loves this team and he knows they love each other (contrast that with BB cutting a player last night)
Then came the big, Hoosier-like finish, which several sources said may have been Coughlin’s most emotional, inspirational moment of the season. He told them that championships are won by teams that love one another, which he knows his team does. And he told his players how much he loves them.
Then he finished by quoting one of his most inspirational sources: John Wooden the legendary UCLA basketball coach. He made reference to Wooden’s infamous "Pyramid of Success," which originally had "Competitive Greatness" at the top. Coughlin told his players that later in his life, Wooden decided that "Love" belonged at the top of that pyramid.
Coughlin told his players that he agreed.

having Kevin Faulk out is going to be huge
he is an outstanding pass blocker and very savvy. Our defense needs to step up and take advantage. All in
Faith is a refusal to panic

I've been wondering for weeks
why he wasn’t put on IR.
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross
What would be the best way to win this game (not trying to sound cocky)
-Blowout
-Eli Manning game-winning drive
-Pick 6
-Punt return for TD
-Game-winning FG
-Close game, nothing happens in 4th quarter
-The Kneel

Youre really asking for the football gods to notice you. They’re a nasty bunch, like Greek Gods, they enjoy punishing hubris.

I've already apologized

sacrificing eagles fans doesn't appease the football Gods
eagles fans are the annual whipping boys of the football Gods
After this season I wasn't sure there were any left

Am I the only one that thinks Tom Brady can play two bad games in a row
Not saying he will, but they talk about it like its impossible

No...the referees defend him...

if brady has a good day dinking. . .
And eli has his usual day downfield, #nyg still wins. And that assume our D can’t disrupt their timing.
I’ll take it.

Speaking of "Airplane"
Where is that stewardess that activated the auto pilot when you need her?
Not to be too somber but..
As we get closer to kickoff, I’d like to humbly remind people to put the Super Bowl in its proper perspective. While exciting and a celebration of the game and team we all love, let’s not forget that it is still just a game. Try to enjoy it for what it is. This is a very touching story on life outside the game.

My favourite commercial I have seen for the Super Bowl
Not sure if this is a Canadian commercial only or not, but pretty cool (saw a news story on it, the teams really had no idea what was going to happen):
That was cool!!!

Belichick has noted the lower case ny
and he is afraid, very afraid
