PRO: Inspiring underdogs everywhere, the nice-guy football player led his team to Super Bowl victory in 2008, defeating expected champs, the New England Patriots, and shiny poster boy Tom Brady, and earning an MVP Award as well — a year after older bro Peyton achieved the same feat for the Indianapolis Colts.
CON: Given the Giant's so-so regular season, many view the Super Bowl as a fluke.
