    President Barack Obama and New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin share the same goal -- getting back to the White House next year. Obama honored the Super Bowl champions on Friday, noting the similarities between the Giants' 2008 championship and its most recent triumph. "They ended up winning with a circus catch in the fourth quarter, MVP performance by Eli Manning ... a come-from-behind win over the Patriots. So this is all starting to sound kind of like deja vu all over again," Obama said. In his speech, Coughlin noted that his team overcame a 7-7 start to win their final two regular-season games and win the NFC East. The Giants won four postseason games, capped by a 21-17 Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots. "Offense, defense and special teams doing their job. Each group having different objectives and motives but playing in harmony for each other, for the good of everyone. Wouldn't it be nice if Congress operated the same way?" Coughlin said, drawing a smile from Obama, who has frequently clashed with House Republicans.

    Hope the Patriots like choking every year. I'm also surprised no one has blamed Gisele for the SB losses, remember Jessica Simpson being a curse in Dallas.

    Be careful putting down the Patriots, since they were the last SB champions to repeat, in 2004 and 2005. You honestly think the Giants can?

    But, it's more so in the Giants case, since it was the Giants president, John Mara, who turned in the Cowboys and Redskins for salary cap violations? Do you really think the Cowboys and the Redskins are going to forget about that?
