What's Green And Gold And Blue All Over?

What they're saying in the ethernet about the New York Giants' 23-20 OT win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game ...

• Giants Know The Way To Glendale: 23-20 In OT. Third time's a charm, huh? Favre played like anything but a legend against a beleaguered secondary, and the result is that another Manning will take a snap for the second straight Super Bowl. Some night for Lawrence "Hey FOX, don't call me Larry — if you bother to interview me" Tynes, huh? (Back-to-back texts after the Giants kicked shanked the potential game-winner in regulation: "Is he fired yet?" followed by "He should never set foot in NYC again, for his own safety.") [ The Big Lead]

• Time To Eat It. I'm gonna be sick. Not figuratively. I'm really gonna hurl. Favre was decent, but he was outplayed by Manning. Yeah, wake up and smell the limburger, cheeseheads. Manning's throws were where they were supposed to be more often. If it wasn't for Driver resurrecting several drives with circus catches up the middle (and of course the 90 yard play where he somehow managed to outrun 3 guys who were all faster than him), the Packers might have been shut out.

• Our Long National Nightmare Is Over. Honestly, did you want to listen to two weeks of "Favre vs. Brady?" Now, in lieu of that, we'll get talk about what could be a very intriguing Super Bowl, the Patriots on the cusp of immortality, and numerous reruns of the regular season finale that these two teams gave us, which was easily the best non-Vikings game I watched this football season.

• Keepin' It In The Family: Eli Manning In A Super Bowl. What's funny is most Giants fans wanted Eli Manning traded just 4 weeks ago. [ Stampede Blue]

• Congrats To The Giants Fans Who Believed. I just finished watching a huge group of Giants fans close down Brett Favre's steakhouse in the heart of Green Bay, just a few blocks from Lambeau Field. I'd imagine that must have felt pretty good. That's where I was in the wee hours of this frigid Wisconsin morning, with two-thirds of Team Daily News. The famous restaurant owned by Favre was absolutely overrun by fans wearing blue — including several with cheese head hats — painted Giants colors of course (I guess that would be blue-cheese?). [ New York Daily News]

• The Road Warriors. (Posted Jan. 19) The Giants can walk into Lambeau and walk out as the NFC Champions, and I believe they will. I could be wrong but tomorrow, at the end of the 4th quarter, the scoreboard in frigid Wisconsin will read: NYG 24, GB 20. [ G-Men Headquarters]

• Super Giants Win In Overtime. How sweet ... After a week of hearing Favre-love from all corners, including how the best game would be the legendary Favre trying to shoot down the unbeaten Patriots, it was a mistake by the legendary quarterback that ultimately doomed the Packers. [ Big Blue View]
