Amazing game. Best Super Bowl I've ever seen. Eli Manning was clutch. The play that he somehow didn't get sacked still amazes me. Congrats to the New York Giants on their championship.

Agreed, the most fun I've had watching a Super Bowl. Great game, great for the NFL. New England is still one of the best teams of all time, but proves how difficult it is to go through a full season without a loss.

This was the best football game I have ever seen! I am so ecstatic right now... that last drive by the Giants was incredible. Manning evading three sacks and Tyree's catch blew my mind. Congrats to Eli on the MVP. The best part about this is Feagles, Strahan, and Toomer all have their rings now :)

Congrats! The good guys won. Tyree deserved the MVP, Feagles knows his role and I hope he can walk away now knowing what he accomplished.

Strahan, too. Although the scary part is he can still do some damage. It's a great team, and Ernie Accorsi deserves credit even though he's a year removed.

Not only Eli not getting sacked, but that 34 yard pass he made in the middle of all that was almost as amazing as the catch at the other end.

Fantastic game, and good call on the prediction. I was talking to someone earlier today and was being a contrarian, justifying how I thought the Giants could win, but I certainly wouldn't have placed money on it.

This game is probably the 2nd-best SB I can remember. Super Bowl XXV, Giants-Bills, with the missed FG by Norwood and all of the surrounding stuff (political and otherwise), is still my favorite SB that I've witnessed. This year's is #2 and probably the Titans-Rams game is #3.

You know what's amazing that I hope all of us realize, regardless of which team we are fans of.

NEVER in our lives again, will brothers win back to back championships in any sport.

That's pretty awesome. And I'm not necessarily a fan of either of them.

What'd he say now? No matter what he says, this Patriots team was better than the '72 Dolphins. Heck, I'd take this Giants team over the '72 Dolphins. Had Terry Bradshaw not have a concussion in the first quarter of their playoff game, odds are they wouldn't have even won their Super Bowl.

Yeah I was thinking about that when I seen Peyton Manning pumped up when Eli threw that final TD. Thats pretty amazing.

Good night for Peyton as well.

He got to see his brother win MVP of the Superbowl, and got to see him do it against the Patriots and Tom Brady (Peyton's Rival)

Good Luck having a season like that again. Thats pretty rare. Im all happy that the Patriots lost, but I admit, I feel for the fans and the players of the New England Patriots. I cant imagine how it feels.

It feels awful but the writing was on the wall at half time when the margin was small and in the 4th quarter when they tried to engineer a win with the clock in the last minutes. Giving NY 3 mins to work magic? The way Manning had gone up the field was there any doubt? Other teams have faltered at the last hurdle - but the (wild card) Giants will remain the David that beat the (all conquering) Goliath aka the Patriots. History will sing the Giants praises as the lil' team that could. All power to them for next season.

Agreed, I think Randy Moss tries his trade elsewhere which makes Tom Brady fairly average.

Way too early prediction: Colts over Vikings

Yeah. IMO Tom Brady is a average Quarterback no matter what. Tonight, the ONE game he gets pressured like every other quarterback in the NFL, he proves he isnt so "great".

Sean Salisbury just said he would walk from Birstol to the Super Bowl next year if the Pats don't make the Playoffs next year. Who else is now really rooting for the Pats to miss the playoffs?

Oh it wasn't doubt - I picked the Giants to win too. I was a little scared was all, and I just didn't know for sure if they almost beat "THE" Pats in week 17 or the backups. I have a tendency to not want to predict something out loud that I want to happen. It hasn't worked well for me in the past.

SUCH a good book though - I recommend it to anyone in love with the game and intrigued by the inner workings of a team.

That's where I picked 'em. I would have been scared to put money down. There's a thin line between hope and faith.

no, sadly the NFL decided to replay the last 2 minutes of the game on some kind of technicality and given a 2nd chance, Eli was stopped. Pats won 14-10.

kraft and the commish were seen sneaking off together into some back room shortly after the 4th down pass was batted down.

sorry.
