I must admit, I stopped following the season this year shortly after it started, and for the most part could care less about the outcome of the Superbowl. I did fly in and out of Phoenix last Monday, and it was already a zoo - a week before the game! I did think it would be neat for the Giants to win - like most Americans, I tend to root for the underdog, and thought it would be nice for the Manning brothers to win the Superbowls back-to-back. Never expected them to pull it off though!
I just watched the last quarter - after the wife and kids went to bed - and it was a great game for that "15" minutes!
Welp, my beloved Pats ruined an undefeated season by a loss to the Giants of all teams...
Truth be told, it was a great game. Probably the best superbowl I've seen in quite a while.
The giants deserve the glory, they played their hearts out.
The Patriots can eat a dead cat; they only really started to look like the Patriots in the last 10 minutes of that game.
What stuff.
And Fox was playing "A Look at the 1972 Dolphins" just before the end of the fourth quarter, and I had to turn it off. The Pats retook the lead and then lost.
Stipid Fox broadcasting jinxing the Pats...
Oh well, there's always next season, and they DID kick a lot of *** this year.
The NY Giants just stepped on the NE Patriots in the SB , crushed their season and ruined a perfect record. Tom Brady stands at the podium and praises the giants, this guys a class act!

I liked the fact that Brady held his hand over his heart during the national anthem, but I'm not sure I'd call anyone who knocks up a girl and then starts chasing other high-profile women as "a class act"...
I really liked how, with one second left to play and legally enough time left for one snap, the pats coach walked to the lockers.
Class act.
I was hoping the Giants would win, and the end was exciting enough to keep even my wife's attention.
No one can say the Giants don't deserve it! They worked there butts off and you can bet this morning they are feeling it in every muscle and bone in there body's.
I really would have liked to see the Pats go all the way but Brady was getting no protection from his guy's at all.I don't know how many times he was sacked or had the ball knocked away as he was trying to pass it.
The Giants said they were going to go after him and they did.All in all it was a great game! Mike
If I can't shoot or pee off my own back porch when I want to then I'm not free and I won't live there. Thank you God for my freedom!

Agreed! I was really irritated that it looked like Moss was going to have scored the game-winning touchdown.

I hate to say it, but this is why I don't watch any professional sports other than the occasional football game. I didn't watch an entire game all season. Athletes today - and now coaches - are more often than not spoiled brats with no really sense of sportsmenship. The Pat's coach was a sore loser - and a terrible example to young people.
Kudos to the Giants, and their fans - they deserved the win.
I'm a Pats fan, too - but I was uneasy earlier, that they were losing their way - during the pre-game interviews and "media" events/day.
Their loss was clinched, in my mind - and probably unconsiously in theirs - when Coach Bill showed up at the game in a new, bright red sweatshirt, ILO his game-proven ragged grey hoodie.
Pride goes before a fall - and even the coach wanted to be all nice & pretty for the post-game victory celebration. No "humble pie", there.
The Giants "D" did a super job of knocking Brady off his feet & preventing long runs, too.
The big, bad, bruising Patriot offensive line turned out to be.......bad.
I thought it amusing to see all the "Perfect Patriots" full-page ads for various coins and merchandise in this morning's local paper - obviously placed ahead of time.
More counted chickens, that didn't hatch.
Not to mention a Q.B.'s GF in the stands (again). It did Tony Romo in, now Tom, too.
Well, I guess a 16-0 regular season's nothing to sniffle at. It's not as good as winning a Super Bowl, but it'll haveta do.
I'm not a big fan of any sport that isn't associated with a firearm but that game was great. I found myself riveted to the TV and standing in the middle of the living room yelling with 35 seconds left in the game which is so out of character for me that I cannot even begin to describe. That one will no doubt go down as one of the all-time classic Super Bowls. The Giants defensive team should get a bonus for holding the Patriots as effectively as they did for the entire game.
If you can see the big picture, you are not focusing on your front sight.
I've been a Giants fan since 1976...through thick and thin, ...and they kicked Butt and took names in Tampa, Dallas ,Green Bay and Phoenix..
They beat the best of the best.. The Pats. can hold there heads up ...a Whale of a game..
