If you haven't heard by now, the New York Giants have beaten the San Francisco 49ers in a thrilling overtime game 20-17.While Eli Manning, Victor Cruz and the rest of the offense played nearly flawless and Justin Tuck, Jason Pierre-Paul and the rest of the defense played very well (only giving up two huge touchdown plays), majority of the sports world seems to think the reason the Giants are going to the Superbowl is because of 49ers wide receiver/punt returner Kyle Williams.

Before the NFL lockout began, I heard a lot of NFL analyst on ESPN saying things like, "the whole NFL season could be lost" or "if not the whole season, then a few games" and "the earliest the season may start is mid-October."
