Hard to take my feelings out of this considering i am a passionate Giant fan. That said, who doesn't like to root for an underdog? Answer: anyone who wants to witness the drama unfold as the Pats chase one of the most hallowed records in sports. Like the author notes, "either way, it's transfixing."

C'MON G-MEN!!!

Unprecedented perfection (two more victories than the Dolphins perfect season in 1972)  in the nation's most popular sport. The Patriots offer the chance to witness something preposterously novel -- success to the Nth power... in HD, no less!</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/indexes/2008/01/24/sports/playemail/index.html?8pl&emc=pl"><P>In the same way perfection would be stupendous, so would the seismic implosion of a loss in the season's final, most important game.

Think of a pitcher's pursuit of a perfect game. When it happens, it's great drama. When he loses it with two out in the ninth, it's great drama of a different tone.
