1. New England got screwed by the officiating. I didn't care who won, but it was fairly blatant.
This game wasn't nearly as blatant as the Steelers Seahawks game and Jerome Bettis' phantom touchdown.

I got two words for you: Tuck. Rule.

:lol:
At the end of the day, the NFL jinxed the Patriots by destroying the "Spygate" tapes so that history will never know just how relevant to the Patriot's past success cheating was.

I've never been fond of Eli Manning cause of his draft-day comments about not wanting to play in San Diego but he's won my respect forevermore for serving the most deserving justice in the history of sports.

DING DONG THE BITCH IS DEAD!

I think the best penalty from that game was the phantom chop block against Seattle, followed by the really weak offensive pass interference call in the endzone.

He should get a hefty fucking fine for running onto the field and then into the tunnel before the Giants officially won. That's just bad fucking form. He's always been a bitch, but this time was way over the fucking line.

The only parts of the Super Bowl I watched was the opening with Alicia Keys, the last few minutes of the 1st half, and the halftime show with Tom Petty.

Man, Tom Petty looked like a hobo in a suit, but he's still got his mojo. He sounded a bit flat on "American Girl", but after that he found his groove and played a sweet set of songs.
Free Falling was a thing of beauty. Also, to anyone who knows anything about music, there was a part where guitar strings in the background were vibrating during the Running on a Dream solo. Did they match up with the actual song?

Also, how long do you figure it is before Manning's Great Escape winds up on YouTube?

I'm waiting for a video collage of Brady's sacks, myself.

What exactly was the helmet catch? I must have missed it.

Surlethe, I can see that being set to the old British sitcom, the one with the stop motion intro.

Also, My school will have a riot, the Refs tried to give this one to the Pats, and I almost lost faith, when it was 14-10. My guys helped me keep the faith, and focus our hearts on the Giants Key to Victory!

Any time now, the footage will be there as soon as people finish chopping out clips from their DVRs. If it's anything like UFC events, the clips will be up on the 'net within an hour.

When the lesser of 2 Mannings broke the sack and passed it to Tyrese(?).

That was on 3rd down after Eli's "great escape" with the throw to David Tyree; one hell of a catch :)

Who then was holding the ball between one hand and his hat, while going down on top of another player.

Maybe instead of predicting a blowout by the Patriots I should have predicted a blowjob by the Patriots. The real MVPs for this game were the Giants' D-line. They did what nobody else did all season: they sacked Brady 5 times and hit him ten more -all in spite of blatant holding by the Pats' O-line. They had Brady so rattled that he misfired on several passes by throwing way too early. That last sack where the really fat DT nailed Brady with a full head of steam was a thing of beauty.

This has to be the biggest choke job in NFL history.

I may have been cheering for the Patriots but congrats to the Giants on a game well played.

GO PACKERS!

Justin Tuck had a monstrous first half, but I agree with you about the Giants' D-line. Brady looked... kinda shaky from the start. I think he missed Moss open a couple of times, including on one pass that I could have thrown.

They had Brady so shaken up that after the game he couldn't shake hands with the opposing players...

...oh wait! That's what that whiny bitch of a sore loser does almost every time he loses! Fuck you Tom Brady, and double fuck your teammates who scurried away with time remaining on the clock. That goes double for Ellis Hobbs (a quad-fuck). I can't wait to hear his excuse for why he got burned for the game-winning TD by a receiver playing with a fucked up knee on one leg and a fucked up ankle on the other.

Feel the shame, bitches!

What a game. What a game! WHAT A GAME! That's the first Super Bowl in years which had me on the edge of my seat. The whole fucking game coming down to the last 10 seconds and Brady's last Hail Mary! Tough defensive struggle and you've got to give it to Eli Manning for having the presence of mind to make that throw to David Tyree after escaping that sack attempt —which Tyree was lucky or alert enough to catch (I couldn't believe what I was seeing when that unfolded)— then later connecting with Plaxico Buress for the go-ahead TD with around a minute or so left in the game. But that victory was the defence's for having damped all of Tom Brady's options, blowing through and around his offensive line almost at will on the pass rush, and keeping Randy Moss virtually shut down for most of sixty minutes.

That was tough football. Either team would have deserved the win in that game.

My office-mate had laughed when I'd said the Giants could win against New England, but I saw it all along. New England's play in the last weeks of the regular season and through the playoffs had been declining, getting rougher around the edges, and cracks were showing in their armour, while the Giants were peaking at the right time and so was Eli Manning, who in this postseason has played the best football of his young pro career. I knew that the Patriots were beatable and that their weaknesses were growing at exactly the wrong time. Lastly, despite all their talk about teamwork and focus on the next game and the next game alone, I got the feeling that they had started to believe their own legend and maybe had gotten a bit too cocksure of themselves. It was a bad sign that Boston's civil officials were already planning the victory parade even before the game had been actually played. Something in that told me the Patriots were headed for a fall.

In any case, both teams gave us a game actually worthy of the name "Super Bowl". After years of blowouts, it was very refreshing to see something both sides had to work their asses off for on a football field.

Extra kudos to the running back Bradshaw, who fumbled but dove after the ball and ripped it out of the arms of the New England defender who had recovered it before the refs could give it to the Patriots. Way to go for the nuts young man!

I was expecting the Patriots to win due to officials giving it to them like they have quite a few times already this season.
