That’s Why They Play The Game – NY Giants Win!! SuperBowl 42

When thinking about business – I realize that there was no reason that I should be at all successful. I am a female, African American, reasonably young now… and self professed, chubby… With 4 strikes, how in the world did I accomplish all that I did and do?

People ask me all the time, with all of the challenges in life, you lost everything, filed bankruptcy and still came back? What would you say the difference is?

And I would say –Other people’s perception of me is just that, their perception. No matter what, I believe in myself and my abilities. Failure was an expensive lesson but it did not keep me from my ultimate goals. I heard that No does not mean denial but only delay. So I realized that this just might not be the time. But if I quit trying, it will never be the time. That’s why they play the game.

Look at the NY Giants, gross underdogs to not even be in the SuperBowl. The New England Patriots came into the game undefeated 18 – 0 and destined everyone believed to be the next SuperBowl Champions…however, someone forgot to tell the New York Giants.    They are the first wild card team from the NFC to win the SuperBowl. Eli Manning has been called Peyton (last year’s SuperBowl MVP from the Indianapolis Colts) more times than he chooses… Michael Stahan had decided to retire and then returned. Their best running back Tiki Barber gave up on them last year, announced his retirement in the middle of the season. Nobody gave them any credit or any hope coming into the season. The press of NY asked for Tom Coughlin the head coach’s head, get rid of him….Even Tiki now as a commentator for NBC, made numerous jokes about his former team’s ability to get to the SuperBowl, Eli Manning’s inability to control the offense and believe it or not – here it is . The New York Giants are SuperBowl 42 Champions!

So when you get down, Don’t feel like you can go another day…. Remember – that’s why they play the game.

Are you in the GAME?

Richelle Shaw –(aka – Eli Manning) Always in the Game!!!
