MESSAGE #307 - WHY THE GIANTS BEAT THE PATRIOTS

The best athlete never wins.
The best team never wins.

I know this sounds strange.
Let me explain . . .

Would you have bet money that
David would beat Goliath?

Of course not.

It was HOPELESS.

Goliath was bigger.
Goliath was stronger.
Goliath was fiercer.

In other words,
Goliath was better in every respect.

But Goliath lost.

Why?

Goliath lost because even though he was better,
David fought better.

You see . . .

The best athlete never wins --
the athlete who plays best always wins.

It doesn’t matter who’s “supposed to win” or “who’s better --
all that matters is who plays better.

The fastest horse doesn’t always win the race.

David was the first in a long list of winners
who weren’t “supposed to” win.

See the movie “Miracle”
about the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team.
They were “supposed to” lose to the invincible Russians.
But the U.S. won.

Why?

The U.S. outplayed the Russians.

Yesterday, the New York Giants
weren’t “supposed to” win either.

I still think the Patriots are a great team.
I still think the Giants are just a good team.

But . . .

A good team
that plays great
will always beat
a great team
that plays good.

In other words . . .

The best team
is not
the best team.

The best team
is the team that
plays the best.

This is why the Giants beat the Patriots.
