PELHAM, N.Y. Pelham residents still reveling in the New York Giants Super Bowl XLVI victory over the New England Patriots hopped on the rail to catch the ticker-tape parade held for Big Blue early on Tuesday in New York City.

It was really great, Maloney said. It was a lot of fun.

Jamie Costanza, a Patriots fan, was even sporting a New York Giants Super Bowl XLVI Champions T-shirt. When asked why he was wearing the shirt, he said that he had to in order to avoid any abuse from Giants fans.
Joe Dereishi, a fan of the New York Jets, decided to chant J-E-T-S, which was not received well by the Big Blue faithful.
People dont like it when you cheer out J-E-T-S, Dereishi laughed.
The group of friends said that there was a lot of people and you couldnt get to the front because of how crowded it was.

Great game, Csardapre said. Very good game. He was also quick to point out that the parade was a lot of fun.
