In a champagne soaked locker room after their stunning defeat of the formerly unbeaten New England Patriots, the New York Giants have decided they're not making the obligatory trip to Disneyland. Instead the team will be attending a Barack Obama rally in the Meadowlands on Monday.
Said quarterback Eli Manning, "Everyone doubted us. We were the underdogs. No one gave us a chance. All we heard was 'you can't beat the Patriots,' but the guys in this locker room pulled together and said - YES WE CAN!"
Defensive end Michael Strahan added, "We were 13 point underdogs - that's about how far Obama was behind Hillary in California two weeks ago. Obama, man, he's our man. He gave us our rallying cry - YES WE CAN! Now we got his back."
In the loser's locker room. Patriots QB Tom Brady lamented the loss. When asked if his friendship with Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney might have contributed to the defeat Brady had no comment.
No member of the '72 Dolphins could be reached for comment. Word has it they were all running wildly through the streets in naked jubilation.
