The Chanifesto: TV takes Giants only so far
No spying needed for the Patriots to game plan for the Super Bowl. They just need to watch late-night cable TV. The past two Giants games have somehow been predicted in movies, with their victory over the Cowboys drawing remarkable similarities to the 1994 children's movie "Little Giants," and Eddie Murphy predicting the Giants' NFC championship over the Packers in the 1988 movie "Coming to America." Maybe there's even a prediction for the Super Bowl somewhere in TV land. "Little Giants" may be a movie about peewee football, but it really could have been a junior-sized version of the Giants-Cowboys playoff game. The Giants were heavy underdogs going up against the best players around — the Cowboys. The scores are similar: a 28-21 Giants win in the movie and a 21-17 final in real life.
