Just like the Jets did last year. And the year before.
Just like the Giants did 4 years earlier -- and, unlike the Jets, took the next step. And the next.
Just a reminder: What the Giants have done is amazing, but they are... not... done... yet.
They know. Because many of them have done it before.

Don't even get me started on Arsenal losing at Swansea City yesterday.
True, it was on the road, and, being Welsh, the Swansea players and fans treat every home game against an English team as if it were a cup final. And, true, Arsenal got screwed on a penalty decision -- again.
But Arsenal played like crap. Plain and simple.
But ask yourself this: If you could only beat either Swansea away or Manchester United at home, and not both, which would you prefer?
Let's pick ourselves up and beat the Fergiebastards. Vermaelen and Sagna could be back, and that, alone, will be a big help.

Bartolo Colon will not be a Yankee in 2012. He has signed a one-year contract with the Oakland Athletics.
Save your "dead weight" jokes. He did a good job for the Yankees in 2011. I'm sorry to see him go -- although it does settle the rotation a little more.
