Then Eli Manning commented on comparisons to his brother and said it was "a compliment." He also said, "I feel like I'm in grammar school." I won't argue with him there.

Following the field goal that sent the Giants to the Super Bowl he was running around the field and truly looked like a child on his last day of school before summer vacation. Eli does at times look like he would be a perfect cast as a young Peyton in some bad television movie.

They both seem to have that "gee golly" type of personality, which in a way makes them likable to the public.

I, personally, am glad that media day has passed and this game is one day closer to being played. One way or another, this Super Bowl is going to be special in comparison to most. It will be remembered for a long time to come, but the question right now is: Why?

Will it be remembered for David beating Goliath or will it be remembered for the New England Patriots accomplishing perfection in a time where parity in the NFL isn't expected to allow it?

Either way, eyes across the globe will be watching and decades from now—fans of the two participants or not—when this game and season are spoken of you will remember where you were when you watched this game.

Whether it be at home on your couch or at a Super Bowl party that one of your buddies threw together—you will remember. ESPN Classic and teams that begin seasons 6-0 or 7-0 for a long time to come will make you think back to this Super Bowl.
