The New York Giants concluded their Super Bowl parade on Tuesday afternoon with a pep rally at MetLife Stadium attended by approximately 30,000 people.
Two days after finishing the NFL season with a thrilling 21-17 victory against the New England Patriots, Giants players and coaches entered the stadium to rousing applause. Victor Cruz, showered with chants of "Cruuuuzzzzz" upon strolling onto the field, received quite a reception, but Eli Manning probably heard the loudest cheers.
The crowd was treated to a highlight film shown on the Jumbotron, after which head coach Tom Coughlin and defensive end Justin Tuck addressed the crowd with speeches. Coughlin spoke about his team's resiliency, and Tuck made a comment that almost brought the house down.
"It's MetLife Stadium, but one thing you can be sure of is whose house it is," Tuck said.

New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin addressed the large crowd at the Giants Super Bowl Parade on Tuesday afternoon, preaching about his team's resilience and confidence even when things looked bleak.
"All things are possible for those who believe," Coughlin said. "We always believed, we always knew we could get here."
The two-time Super Bowl-winning coach spoke once the team paraded through the city to their destination at City Hall, mentioning a five-minute conversation he held with President Barack Obama after winning the championship. Also speaking at City Hall were Mayor Michael Bloomberg and co-owner Steve Tisch. Bloomberg presented the team with keys to the city.
"Two months ago the experts doubted the Giants would even make the playoffs, but we're here today because the Giants believed in each other, and you believed in them," Mayor Bloomberg said during his speech.
"I haven't asked the mayor yet, but we should do this every Tuesday," Tisch joked.
"There's a group of guys in Dallas that call themselves America's team, but looking out at all of you and the millions of people in the streets [Tuesday], we're 'America's Dream.'"
The Giants still have a rally at MetLife Stadium which will start at approximately 3 p.m.

Oh, there was a New York Giants Super Bowl Parade on Tuesday? I thought the million people congregating in New York City were there to celebrate Jeremy Lin's coming-out party.
A string of pictures from the Giants parade scene follows:
Eli Manning with Mayor Bloomberg and the Lombardi Trophy (and some stunner shades) (via @NYCMayorsOffice).
Justin Tuck has a lot to grin about, and the people behind him throwing things out of the window have a lot to celebrate (via @NYCMayorsOffice).
Too bad there wasn't a very big crowd at the parade (via @nycgo_press):
It's also a shame no Giants fans decided to get creative with their parade costumes (via @lohud):

The New York Giants victory parade is marching through New York City, and Super Bowl 2012 MVP, quarterback Eli Manning, is riding on the same float as defensive lineman Justin Tuck.
I must say, Mr. Manning is looking pretty fly with the Vince Lombardi Trophy!!
Meanwhile, the New York crowd, which is expected to be around 1 million or more, is waiting for the arrival of the Giants to make their way through the Canyon of Heroes. Here's a look of the massive crowd.

Wide receiver Ramses Barden snapped a picture of the NYPD lining up to protect the G-Men -- maybe, this is what Patriots quarterback Tom Brady needed to protect himself from New York's defensive line.

New York Giants rookie linebacker Greg Jones proposed to his girlfriend Mandy Piechowski on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium after the Giants defeated the Patriots in the Super Bowl on Sunday (via ESPN).
When Piechowski ran onto the field looking for Jones to celebrate the Giants' win, she was already emotional. She began crying as soon as she found him and embraced him.
"But then he put me down pretty fast and I was like, 'Oh, OK,'" she said. "And then he is digging in his pants and I am like, 'What are you doing?'"
Jones pulled out a box with the ring inside. He said to Piechowski
"Amanda Piechowski, will you spend the rest of your life with me?"
She said yes. Jones said
"She was bawling," Jones said Monday morning before hopping on the team bus to head to the airport. "Just everything we have been through together ... she has been there since day one."
Piechowski said that it felt quiet on the field when Jones proposed despite the trophy celebration starting. Jones was sneaky about the presentation of the ring. He had reserve tight end Christian Hopkins hang onto the ring until the right moment.

There are no more questions about whether Eli is elite. But has the second half of Brady's career become tragic?
over 1 year ago Update 0 comments
Like father, like son. Like son, like brother. And now, by wininng his second Super Bowl championship on Sunday against the New England Patriots, Eli Manning has surpassed his brother Peyton in title hardware.
Yet as younger brother Eli pointed out during a press conference on Monday, there's no rivalry in the family.
"This isn’t about bragging rights. This is a lot bigger. This is about a team, an organization being named world champions, and that was the ultimate goal. That’s the only thing that’s important, is the team finding a way to get a victory. That’s the only thing I care about and Peyton and I both know that’s what the goal is every year. It’s not about anything else," the younger Manning said.
After Eli's Giants held on for a thrilling 21-17 victory Sunday night that wasn't secure until the final play finished, he was able to spend some time with Peyton.
"I got to be with Peyton a bit and he was proud of me," Eli said. "He was proud of the team. A quarterback like Peyton is, he knows the game well and he asks questions a lot of people won’t ask. Like the touchdown to Victor Cruz, he asked me if I saw the middle linebacker running out there, and I didn’t. He can see there and tell it how it looks. It was ‘single-high’ and he kind of jabbed to my right a little bit before running left and looking up Victor. Under center, you know they’re bringing a blitz. It is tough to see that, but luckily, he never looked back at me and I threw it right off his shoulder and Victor did a good job of concentrating and making the catch. Then he talked about the throw to Manningham. He was mad, he said everybody was talking about how great of a catch it was. He said it was a pretty good throw, also. It’s a brother looking out for me. He was proud of me and happy for me."

One day after his team's 21-17 Super Bowl victory against the New England Patriots came down to the last play, New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin reiterated his stance on retirement: it's not coming now, and maybe not for awhile.
During his post-Super Bowl press conference on Monday, Coughlin told reporters he would like to return to the Giants next season and possibly beyond.
Coughlin has now captured a pair of Super Bowl titles with the Giants, doubling the franchise's total from two to four. The 65-year old became the oldest head coach ever to win the Super Bowl on Sunday. Next year, he presumably hopes to break his record. But for now, legacy is the last thing from his mind.
"No, I don’t really think about that stuff, to be honest with you. It’s not about me and this is what we talk about all the time. We’re about team, we’re not about individuals. We’re about the team and what’s in the best interest of our team, and we feel that all our power is generated from team. We’re certainly very cognizant of some of the superior individuals that we have on our team, thank goodness, but it is the team that provides us with our strength, and our ability to perform under pressure, whether it is good or bad, and that’s the way we think," said Coughlin.
