The trade worked out for both teams though. SD didn't win a SB or anything, but they are still good.

The main part of the trade that makes me happy is that SD wanted Osi Umenyiora and Acorsi just wouldn't include him in the deal.

I don't buy that. The Giants played in one of the 2 or 3 toughest divisions in football this year and they had to go through Dallas and Green Bay who both had top 5 offenses and were a combined 7-1 vs the AFC.

AFC might be deeper but that doesn't automatically mean an AFC team has a tougher road to the SB than an NFC team.

Going a bit overboard just tad there don't you think?

For engineering the greatest final drive in SB History, Eli Manning gets the nod on this-1

Joe Montana begs to differ.

I'm going to have to go with Eli. Walter Payton didn't have a great Super Bowl XX. Only 61 yards off of 22 carries and zero touchdowns (he can thank Ditka and the Fridge for that). I will give Sweetness credit for it being so close to the end of his career, but Eli had a lot more to do with the Giants winning than Walter had with the Bears winning.

This thread is about Walter Payton, right? Because Eli's brother isn't Payton, it's Peyton.
