Wrong team won, but it was still a great game. :)

Best Super Bowl in a long time.


I agree. I remember watching Eli Manning's dad, Archie, as quarterback at
Ole Miss. I attended a game in Oxford, MS during the 1960s. Don't remember
if he could pass or not, but he was an exciting runner. Really all over the
field. Would probably run 150 yards to make a 50 yard gain. What a legacy
with his sons.


Archie was a class act. Unfortunately, he played for an owner, John
Mecom, who was a complete and total moron and never gave him the tools
he needed to win.

I was at the game when Tom Dempsey, he of the club foot, kicked the 63
yard field goal. I almost missed it - my friend and I were walking
out of Tulane Stadium when they were setting up for the field goal and
we turned around in the entrance way to watch it. :)

Therre is the key - right there.

Sometimes, it just ain't gonna happen, ya know? :)

They also had to play the game of their lives two weeks earlier
against the Packers. And they did.
hmmm.... seems to be a pattern here somewhere ;-)

The best team *always* wins.


I was rooting for NE, but the Giants played a better game for 4
quarters. The offensive line could not protect Brady, 5 sacks and he
felt the pressure on just about every play.

What I did like to see is two very great teams play aggressive football
for 60 minutes. It really doesn't get any better.

I thought the Giants would give them a game, but I didn't think the
Pats would lose.

Hey - that's why they call it a game. :)

And they did go 18-0, undefeated in the regular season and one more
than those lame ass Dolphins. :)

I was surprised at the betting line. The last I heard the Patriots were
12 point favorites. That seemed rather high, considering the Giants only
lost by three a couple of weeks ago.

After years of watching the Giants find a new way to lose, I gave up
rooting for them mid-season. It seems to have worked. ;-)

Doubtful. None of the a**holes I associate with are anonymous.
