I just can't come up with anything. Maybe it's because I haven't had coffee for hours. Maybe it's because there are only so many things that rhyme with "catch" or "reception" or "Tyree." Maybe I'm just not clever enough.
I can't figure out a catchy term/phrase/whatchamacallit for Eli Manning's toss to David Tyree in the fourth quarter. It was jaw-dropping, It was definitely immaculate. It's a combination of all sorts of superlatives. Some that may invoke the name of God, various other sacred things and Rue McClanahan.
So help me, help you's.
What do we call this thing? Somebody out there must have something. You all are much brainier than I am.
I have so far:
-
The Glendale Grab
-
M-T Zest! (M=Manning; T=Tyree)
-
Big Blue Velvet (silky smooth)
-
Eli-Yahoo! (he's a prophet in the IT age)
-
XL eye-to-eye
- Eli Weasel
- Blue Thunder
- 42nd Treat
- Levitra, because the Giants have ED (Eli+David)
-
The Great Eli-scape
-
The Jints Connection
See what I'm talking about? I need help. Hit me with your best shots, let's patent pending this thing, together. Also, who can beat my cutline on the second photo. I've got: "Who needs Gisele? Tyree and Eli know how to celebrate The Glendale Grab."
On to the best XLII blogs ... around!
Stu on This has an equation worth sharing: Imperfect QB + Imperfect team = Perfect Win. Maaaaakes sense.
Were the Patriots too arrogant? The Blog to End All Blogs thinks so. He has evidence, too, which always helps an argument.
BigPapiandManny's 3-4 Punch has only one phrase to call Super Bowl XLII: The Greatest Game I Ever Saw.
More to come...














I saw AMC bite the dust in 1987. (we miss ya,
was the ultimate box on wheels (who wants to see me tip my dad's car going 25 MPH?). The Rodeo was the Ford Explorer alternative during the mid-'90s SUV boon and the Amigo, well, featured some of the best commercials out there. ("Amigo, Amigo fun for a boy and a girl...").
