GIANTS GUARD DAVID DIEHL
*
(on how it feels to be Super bowl champion)*
"Unbelievable.  I mean, you look at this season and the way that we fought and stuck together.  We accomplished something that nobody on the outside looking in thought we could do.  But the people in our room, the players on this team, our coaches, our organization - nobody said this could be done except for us and we believed in one another.  Let everybody say what they want to say.  The Giants are World Champs, baby."

(on persevering all 60 minutes and coming up big in the fourth quarter)
"We knew it was going to be this type of game.  New England is a great team.  The last time we played them, there were five lead changes in the fourth quarter, so we knew we'd just have to keep fighting, keep scratching, and when the big opportunity came, we capitalized on it.  Here we are, World Champs."
