We need a Super Bowl champion

It's getting clear that with two minutes left to play in 2008's great Super Bowl XLII that the Giants aren't going to win. Haven't they read the newspapers or watched TV? Let's take a look at the FACTS here, people:
- The Patriots are undefeated, and heavily favored to be the winners
- They currently have the lead, 14 to 10
- There are under two minutes left to play in the game
WE NEED TO CALL IT OFF. The Giants are only damaging their reputations by continuing to play these last few minutes.
Consider the 2007 Kentucky Derby - a display of honor and greatness by jockey Calvin Borel riding Street Sense, who after spending most of the race in 19th place out of 20, decided to simply walk off the track rather than risk hurting America by continuing to race. The Kentucky Derby needed a winner, and that winner was not to be 19th-place Street Sense.
Even politicians have class and know when to bow out - rather than drag out his hopeless campaign against President Dewey, Harry S Truman had the fortitude to realize We Needed A President and dropped out of the campaign.
But back to this pathetic Super Bowl performance - I mean, who are the Giants kidding? They're outmatched, outsmarted, outgunned. WE NEED A SUPER BOWL CHAMPION. The media and the fans have chosen the champion, and it's the Patriots. Time to call it off.
The Giants need to walk off the field.
NOW.
There's only 1:15 left to play.
They're on their own 44-yard-line.
They have a third down.
Fighting an obviously unwinnable battle like this any longer is UN-AMERICAN.
We need a Super Bowl Champion, and we need it now.
