Giants chairman predicts Super Win
Quote:
DANIELLE P. RICHARDS / THE RECORD
New York Giants chairman Steve Tisch predicts the Giants will defeat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. "I'm not going to give you the score," Tisch told The Record by phone. "We'll have more points than they do. That's my score."

Quote:
"We're getting stronger, we're getting better and we're performing as a team with confidence. Eli [Manning] is taking more of a leadership role, week after week. This is not a team that peaked at midseason. This is a team that's been on the road, as underdogs many times, and has succeeded 100 percent.
"This team has played with heart and pride and dignity and strength, and I feel those elements will get us the 'W' on [February] third."

Quote:
In an interview arranged to discuss his family's role in running the Giants, Tisch compared the feeling of winning Best Picture for "Forrest Gump" to his profound sense of accomplishment when the Giants defeated the Packers at Lambeau Field.
"Winning the Oscar," Tisch said, "is the top of the pyramid in my industry. ... The Giants' experience, in terms of winning the NFC championship and being at the top of that pyramid, is close to being the best of the best. But I think we will add that title a week from Sunday."

Quote:
Against the grain of Tom Coughlin's talk-is-cheap, play-the-game mandate, the toughest talk of the week actually has come out of the Giants' front office. Jerry Reese was quoted in Thursday's Record saying, "Absolutely I think we can beat [New England]. Absolutely I do. I don't think we have a shot. I think we have a good shot."
Tisch upgraded that good shot into a sure shot.
