Giants celebrate another Super Bowl title
Football Betting Lines
02/07/2012 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Giants celebrated another Super Bowl title Tuesday with a parade up the Canyon of Heroes in lower Manhattan and a ceremony at City Hall Plaza.
Thousands of fans lined the streets as players, coaches and team personnel rode floats from the southern tip of Manhattan through the financial district as confetti fluttered down from the high-rise buildings.
Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning and defensive lineman Justin Tuck headlined the main float with the Vince Lombardi Trophy, which the Giants captured for a fourth time with a 21-17 victory over New England on Sunday in Indianapolis.
Head coach Tom Coughlin, general manager Jerry Reese and co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch were also part of the main float that included New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York governor Andrew Cuomo.
The parade ended at City Hall Plaza, where Bloomberg, after declaring the city the "Big Blue Apple," presented the Giants with keys to the city.
Former Giants star Michael Strahan, part of the team's last parade four years ago following another Super Bowl win over the Patriots, helped Bloomberg fire up the crowd.
"Let's hear it for the 2012 Super Bowl champion New York Giants," Strahan bellowed.
Before the keys were presented, Coughlin addressed the crowd.
"Only, only could this happen in New York," the two-time Super Bowl-winning coach said. "This is the greatest city in the world and it's wonderful we've returned the Lombardi Trophy to where it belongs, right here in New York."
Some of the biggest cheers during the key presentations went for receivers Mario Manningham, whose 38-yard catch along the sideline ignited the winning drive in the fourth quarter, and Victor Cruz, who caught the first TD pass in the contest. Cruz, before he picked up his key, did a quick salsa dance with Strahan.
Tuck, who had two sacks in the Super Bowl, made a few quick remarks and credited his teammates for their hard work.
"We made it here by believing in each other -- offense, defense, special teams," he said. "I'm so blessed to have teammates that go to work every day. It didn't matter where the credit went. We didn't care. We cared about one thing -- those trophies."
Tuck also brought up running back Andre Brown, who led a few teammates in a song and dance. Brown sang "I got a ring" and his teammates would answer "We got a ring."
After the brief rendition, Tuck concluded by saying, "And I got two."
Manning was the last to be presented with a key and walked to the podium to chants of "MVP, MVP." He was also the last to speak to the crowd and echoed Coughlin's message throughout the season of "finish."
"Finish games, finish the fourth quarter and finish the season strong," Manning said. "A team that won six straight games to finish the season and finish the final game to win the Super Bowl trophy.
"Thanks to all who supported us and who never lost faith in us. We never lost faith in ourselves and congratulations to all of you."
After the New York City celebration, the Giants traveled across the Hudson River to their home in East Rutherford for another rally at MetLife Stadium.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
