The massive Giants Super Bowl ticker tape parade on Tuesday wasn't just about shredded Social Security numbers and Mike Tyson spotting: a group of rowdy Giants fans took some time out from their celebrating to wreck havoc upon a parked police car. One person stomps on the hood of the car and breaks the front window; another gets yanked off the car by a cop. Watch two videos of the scene below.

Giants Players Think Gisele Should STFU About Football
Memo to Gisele Bundchen: Just because you're married to one of the best quarterbacks of all time, it doesn't make you an expert, okay? That's the message from the Giants, who beat the supermodel's husband and his Patriot teammates in a thrilling Super Bowl game—Brandon Jacobs said, "She just needs to continue to be cute and shut up."
"Thank You, Wes Welker": Company Dumps 900 Pounds Of Butterfingers On Boston Street
An online pawn shop either pissed off a lot of Patriots fans or endeared themselves to some hungry people. PawnGo dumped 900 pounds of Butterfingers, with the sign, "Thank You, Wes Welker." Hey, was Gisele behind this?
Boston Hates Gisele Bundchen For Breaking Code
There's nothing like a good viral video to change the focus of Patriots fans' anger. Now that everyone knows how Gisele Bundchen fired back at a Giants fan who said, "Eli owns your husband!" by slamming Tom Brady's colleagues—"My husband cannot (bleeping) throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times"—the supermodel gets the "Super Brat" treatment on the Beantown tabloid, The Boston Herald.

Gisele's Post-Super Bowl Freak Out: Supermodel Defends Husband, Hates His Sucky Teammates
It must be pretty rough being beautiful and rich when God doesn't answers your prayers for your handsome and rich husband to win the Super Bowl. Which is probably why supermodel Gisele Bundchen lashed out at someone who yelled, "Eli owns your husband!" after Big Blue bested the Patriots once again in the Super Bowl. The bodacious Brazilian was caught on tape saying, "You (have) to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball. My husband cannot (bleeping) throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times."
Videos: U. Massholes Rage In Amherst After Patriots' Super Bowl Loss
"Why are the people at our school fucking retarded?" wonders one University of Massachusetts-Amherst student as she videotapes the wild scene on campus from the safety of her dorm room last night. On the quad below, an estimated 1,500 students had gathered so express their outrage at billionaire Robert Kraft's devastating Super Bowl loss. Students set off fireworks, threw bottles, and chanted "Fuck the Giants" until riot police arrived, at which point the chant segued to "Fuck the police." Here's a bird's eye video from the dorm room, complete with co-ed commentary:
Giants' Super Bowl XLVI Victory On Front Pages
The Giants' Super Bowl win over the Patriots for the second time in four years does mean a lot of deja blue jokes. And there's lot of happy Eli Manning, sad Tom Brady, and Ahmad Bradshaw butt, too. Check 'em out.

BUTT Yes: Giants Win Super Bowl, Beating Patriots 21-17 In Thrilling Game
They didn't quite get a helmet catch, but after a thrilling game with a dramatic last drive, the Giants came back to defeat the New England Patriots and win Super Bowl XLVI 21-17. An estimated 111 million U.S. viewers watched as the Giants became the first 9-7 team to win the Super Bowl. Mario Manningham's fourth quarter catch with less than four minutes left in the game was one of the defining plays, setting up Brandon Jacob's butt-first, clock-eating game-winning touchdown. And in case you were wondering, the game finished at 9:55 p.m.
Never Forget: Who Won The Last Giants/Patriots Super Bowl?
With all the talk here at Giantsist.com about tonight's Super Bowl XLVI game between the Giants and the New England Patriots, it's easy to lose focus of just how incredible Super Bowl XLII was—who could have guessed that an incredible David Tyree helmet catch would become the symbol for the team's unlikely upset victory over the Pats?
Today, We Are All Giants (Except For Depressed Jets Fans)
Ever since the Giants beat the San Francisco 49ers in a tough OT game two weeks ago, we've been noticing more and more people on the subways and sidewalks wearing Giants gear—EV Grieve noticed the same phenomenon, with lots of Duane Reades and bars suddenly becoming diehard fans. But while they label those people "bandwagon jumpers," we have a far more sympathetic view of them. For you see, on this Sunday-est of all Sundays, we are all Giants fans—except for insane Pats fans and depressed Jets fans.
What Time Does The Superbowl End?
All week, the internet has been making fun of the infamous Huffington Post, "What Time Does The Superbowl Start" SEO-trolling article from last year. As Deadspin summarized, the post existed "for the sole purpose of garnering internet search traffic from the thousands of people Googling 'what time does the superbowl start?'" And it was damn successful too. But instead of just following that trail, we thought we'd pose a much more difficult question to pin down: what time does the Superbowl Super Bowl end?
Video: Insane Pats Fans "Roast" Eli Manning On A Spit
We already know that Giants fans are passionate about their ass tattoos, but it seems Patriots fans are just...insane? Or maybe insanely creative junkyard artists? Some intense Pats fans made an elaborate effigy to the Giants, "roasting" a mannequin of QB Eli Manning on a spit above the "flames" of a burnt-out Giants car. The whole thing is a metaphor, of course, for the sorrow which engulfs our lives as we drift aimlessly from one vicarious event to the next. Which reminds us: did you know the Super Bowl is today?
Mayor Bloomberg Has His Own Super Bowl Ad This Year
Mayor Bloomberg's interest (if he really has any) in this year's Super Bowl goes beyond the Giants and his big bet with Boston Mayor Thomas Menino. See, the man won't just be watching the big game live and in person but, at least to viewers in the Northeast, he's going to be sharing screen time with it. Yup, hizzoner's got an ad in the biggest advertising game going.
Mayor Bloomberg Makes Super Bowl Bet With Boston Mayor Menino
After an amazing playoff run, the Giants are facing off against the Patriots in the 46th Super Bowl. And now that Mayor Bloomberg has won cheese curds from Green Bay and sourdough bread from San Francisco, he's giving his stomach a break and will give a New York City family the chance to savor seafood from Boston—plus much more—in a bet with Boston Mayor Thomas Menino.
Who Really Thinks The Giants Are Still The Super Bowl Underdogs?
Last night, more than 50 million people watched as San Francisco punt returner Kyle Williams conjured the ghost of Bill Buckner, and Eli Manning's facial expressions led the Giants to defeat the 49ers in OT to advance to their second Super Bowl in the last four years. Despite turning into arguably the best overall team in the league over the last five weeks—and despite having beaten them already this season—the Giants are still considered the underdog going into their game with the New England Patriots, a rematch of Super Bowl XLII. But at least they can still hold this over the Jets on Twitter: "Some teams are happy getting to Conference Championship games, but #ImReallyGoodAt winning them! 5-0 all time!"
Tea Party Patriot Thinks Nazis Would Be "Proud" Of Democrats
Queens Congressman Gary Ackerman is demanding that Florida Republican and Tea Party Patriot Rep. Allen West apologize for comparing the Democratic Party to Nazis. “This is exactly the type of rhetoric that turns people off to Washington and getting involved in politics,” Ackerman tells the Daily News. “I call on Republicans and Democrats alike to join me in demanding an apology." Aw, c'mon. What did West say that was so offensive? "If Joseph Goebbels was around, he’d be very proud of the Democrat Party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine." Fighting "propaganda" with anti-semitic propaganda: do we have a new GOP presidential frontrunner on our hands?
Jets Face Patriots In Crucial Rematch
With a three-way tie atop the AFC East entering Sunday, the night game between the Jets and the Patriots is sure to have critical playoff implications. The Jets have won three straight to draw themselves even with New the Patriots, who have lost two straight and limp into the Meadowlands. New England won the first meeting between these two teams with a 30-21 decision in Foxborough on Oct. 9. If the Jets win, they'll be a game up and in good shape as far as tiebreakers go. If they lose, they'll be a game back and will not have the head-to-head tiebreaker. Buffalo, the other team tied for first place, plays at Dallas on Sunday afternoon.
At Critical Juncture, Jets Face Patriots
You know, the Jets could be 1-3. If not for a blocked punt and some fortunate bounces in the opener against Dallas, the Jets (who are actually 2-2) would only be able to boast of a home win against the lowly Jaguars. But luck is the residue of design, and the Jets have enough problems that they can't worry about imaginary ones. In last week's 34-17 loss to the Ravens, the Jets would have been better off punting each time. Mark Sanchez fumbled three times and threw another interception. After a promising start, the quarterback undid much of his progress.
Jets Enemy Bill Belichick Is Also A Roller Skating Pirate
The Jets have many enemies—foot odor, Uggs Boots spokesmen, the anti-snacktime lobby, "Moral Fibrousness"—but none more yellow-bellied and pox-faced than Patriots coach Bill Belichick. Rex Ryan has called their grudge "personal," and Jets fans have even tried to sue the Patriots after Belichick was caught cheating several years ago.
City Euphoric Over Insane Jets Win
We're guessing a good chunk of the city is pretty hungover today after the partying that went on after last night's win against the New England UGG Spokesmen. Rex Ryan-style hubris (now completely justified) spewed from the mouths of fans across the city; David Stone told the Daily News, "We took care of business—New York style! They can match up with any team. Go Green, we'll take on anybody!" And this time the professionals agreed.
JETS DE-FEET PATS!!!
We're still picking our jaws off the ground, but they did it: the Jets just defeated the Patriots 28-21 in New England. They played a ferocious defensive game, and Pats QB Tom Brady never looked entirely comfortable. Bill Simmons of ESPN tweeted, "Outcoached, outplayed, outeverything. Congrats to the Jets." Sports writer Michael Weinreb tweeted, "An overzealous goofball has absconded with Tom Brady's birthright. This is his Winklevoss moment." And Dan Shanoff of Quickish wrote, "if you're going to talk, you better back it up. But if you can back it up, you have earned the right to talk all you want." We're excited to watch the post-game interview with Rex Ryan, for what is sure to be one of the greatest post-game interviews of all time.
Open Thread: Jets vs Patriots!!!
The most important game since Super Bowl III is finally here: the Jets and Patriots hotly anticipated AFC Divisional Playoff has just begun. Tom Brady is literally smelling the Gatorade as we write! All the intense hype, trash talking, jinxes, and foot references will be distant memories once the game is finished. And it was just announced that Pats receiver Wes Welker will be benched (at least for the start of the game) because of the aforementioned foot referencing interview. Since we'll all be glued to our TV's for the next couple hours, write your in-game thoughts here.
Newsflash: Jets Fan Dates A Pats Fan!
The Daily News is just shocked at a Jets fan from Brooklyn and a Pats fan from Bridgewater, MA were able to get past that obvious point of incompatibility and start dating. The website the couple met through clearly didn't do their screening job right, but now Carl Davis and Geri Vert are happy together and will actually watch this afternoon's game in the same room. Could this be evidence that life exists outside the Jets-Pats rivalry, and that life can continue after the postseason? As long as we can keep making foot fetish jokes!
At Long Last, Jets Take on Patriots
A week of bluster and smacktalk -- some blunt, some hidden -- will finally end Sunday when the Jets visit the Patriots in an AFC Divisional Playoff. Rex Ryan got the ball rolling by pitting the game as a matchup between him and Patriots counterpart Bill Belichick. Then Antonio Cromartie got in the act by calling Tom Brady a few expletives -- the Pats quarterback said he's "heard worse" and Wes Welker responded by weaving in several foot references to his news conference on Thursday.
Jets Fever, Covered: NY Post Put Pretty Feet On Front Page
OMG OMG OMG: Today, the most important game since Super Bowl III will be played today at 4:30 p.m. at Gillette Stadium. The New York Jets are facing off against the New England Patriots for a chance to meet the Pittsbrugh Steelers in next week's AFC Championship, and, for the Jets, it's a chance for redemption after an extremely embarrassing 45-3 loss last month. There have been promises. There have been references to feet. There have been politicians jinxing things. So, to ratchet up the excitement even further, the Post and Daily News have Gang Green Fever.
Rex Ryan Promises Victory Over Pats, Jets Hit City's Menus
Trash has been talked, guarantees have been made, and the whole city seems to be united around the Jets in anticipation of tomorrow's AFC divisional round playoff game with divisional rivals the Patriots. The Empire State Building was lit in green and white Jets colors yesterday to support the team before the showdown. And according to Rex Ryan, it will truly be an old west style showdown: "It'll be huge. The second biggest game in the history of the franchise. You've got your rival, at their place, off a huge, embarrassing loss on a Monday night game...We respect 'em. We do not fear 'em. And we're gonna win the game."
Patriots Star Disses Rex Ryan As Jets Prepare For Sunday
Tensions have been heating up all week between the Jets and Patriots in anticipation of Sunday's AFC divisional round playoff game. Rex Ryan is taking the game very personally, virile cornerback Antonio Cromartie has been trash talking Tom Brady, and The Post is so excited, they churned out one of their most epic Photoshopped covers in years! But yesterday, Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker may have gone a step too far: during an interview, he slyly referenced feet or toes in his answers to 11 of 17 questions. Listen buddy, Sexy Rexy and his alleged foot fetish are ours. Just because we can make fun of our beloved loudmouth coach doesn't mean you foliage-gazers can.
Jets Resent Brady, Giants Fans Resent Rooting For Jets
This weekend's anticipated AFC divisional round playoff game between the Jets and Patriots is already pretty personal for Rex Ryan, and it seems to be bringing out the fire in the rest of the Jets players. Asked about Pats Ugg-spokesman Tom Brady, virile cornerback Antonio Cromartie unleashed a verbal tirade to the News, calling him an "ass----," among other things: "F--- him...That's what I think about him. I don't really give a damn about him. I don't have to play against him. I play against the receivers."
