The Giants did it. Oh my god. We win. Big Blue over Big Asterisk. There is a Pelor.
This was one of the best Super Bowls I have ever seen. It was such an exciting game and was down to the wire. It was awesome! Go Giants!

Sigh... maybe there's hope for my Eagles next year...
Sure you can hope... ;)
It was a great game.
I wasn't rooting for anyone since I'm a Colts fan. Just happy it was good game.
What was up with the clock management by the officials in the last 3 minutes... it was all over the place. Not stopping fast enough, adding time, or taking time away. They didn't tell us anything. :ridiculous:
GIANTS!GIANTS!GIANTS!
SAMMICH!SAMMICH!SAMMICH!

And just for s~+$s and giggles, here is a nice article on Belichick the sore loser.
I'm almost sad that I only watched about a minute total of the game.
Congratulations to the Giants. And "Huzzah" for the latest football rivalry - The Patriots vs the Manning Family.
I knew this was a superbowl thread.
Congratulations to the Giants. They played very well, made the Patriots play NY's game, and deserved the victory.

Wow, there is some vitriol flying around in the posts after that story!
Fools.
Mortals.
Americans?
Wow.....just wow! That was the best NFL game I have seen. And I say this as a Cowboys supporter that saw all 3 of their Superbowl wins in the 1990's. Sure it didn't have the big scores but as a contest, you don't get much better than that.

Okay, that's a stinky article by someone who apparently wasn't paying attention to the actual game. Belichick wasn't the first one on the field, the Giants coaching staff actually rushed the field first.
He did what any coach would do, congratulate the opposing coach and then leave. I can't recall having seen any coach who just lost the Super Bowl stick around for the festivities.But oh well, anything to come off gloating I guess.
The article certainly proved the unprofessionalism of Yahoo sports to me.
The way I saw the game it was just as much the Patriots losing the game as it was Giants winning it. Neither offenses looked good out there throughout the game, but the Giants managed to put more pressure on Brady, so kudos to their defense for that.
Well, there's always next year for the perfect season. :-)

I am pleased that the 72 Dolphins remains the only team in NFL history to go undefeated for an entire season.
That I was born in Florida in no way at all influences my affection for the Dolphins, Buccaneers, or... what was Jacksonville's team again? The Panthers or something?
*hasn't really paid attention to the NFL in more than a decade*
I am also pleased that the underdogs won. That always makes me happy, unless the favored team is one I'm rooting for. ;)
Humons.Mortals.Americans?
Good-aligned humanoids.
There is a Pelor.
I live in Florida. Pelor is a cruel, cruel god. Who is the god of shade and air conditioning?

You probably won't believe me, but Texas is hotter. I argued with some salesperson calling from Miami about that. Finally, I realized I had been both places, and she hadn't.
I've lived in Texas, too. Depends on exactly where you are, but I will agree that it is generally hotter in Texas. But I say to you: Humidity.

See, this is just awesome. Thanks Giants - that was the most super superbowl I have ever seen.
Go Fish!

I live in Connecticut, I'm more concerned with the gods of sleet, snow and bad drivers from New York. Any help?
In Connecticut, all the bad drivers are from New York. In New York, all the bad drivers are from New Jersey. In New Jersey, all the bad drivers are from Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, all the bad drivers are from West Virginia.
My question is: where do all the bad drivers come from in Hawaii?

All the other states.
I.e. Tourists
Pound for pound New York has some very capable drivers. The traffic is insane you have to be competent to get where your going. I have been all over the South, give 'em some rain or snow and they all lose their collective minds.

I'm sure you're being tongue-in-cheek here, but on the off chance that you're not...
Watch the replay of the game. First series by the Giants. Watch the NY Running Back Jacobs completely run over Merriweather, one of the NE Defensive Backs. Without those 40 pounds of pads, Merriweather will never walk again. Hell, he'd be lucky to breathe again. The pads add a level of recklessness to American Football that does not exist in Rugby. It cannot exist, or there would simply be too many Rugby fatalities for that sport to continue. Rugby is definitely a rough sport for tough men. American Football is a vicious sport for men who are willing to sacrifice their future health for money and glory.
Ot's the same effect with bare knuckle boxing.

That describes the difference perfectly. Rugby is tough, very tough. American Football is the most brutal thing you can do to your body for 60 min.
I'm sure you're being tongue-in-cheek here, but on the off chance that you're not...
I was pretty much joking (and for those who didn't know, that was a quote by Giles from Buffy...)
That said, personally I think that level of recklessness is already off-putting, I'm not keen on that style of play...well, I'm not too enthusiastic about rugby either, of the sports soccer is the most enjoyable and watchable imho.
Don't forget Massachusetts! They're even worse than the New Yorkers.
Hawaii is probably full of them!
As a resident of Massachusetts I can attest to this, especially those in Boston. As the comedian Dave Barry once commented: Drivers in Boston are so bad they break the laws of physics!
Heh, I've heard about how bad it gets in the south with a snowfall, I'm glad I haven't experienced it yet.
Yes - be grateful. People down here (Atlanta) go insane if the weatherman predicts a chance of snow.
While I'm at it - as a native of The Garden State - Hooray Giants! Go Big Blue!
American Football is the most brutal thing you can do to your body for 60 min.Well, aside from stepping on a land mine.
In my experience, stepping on a land mine is only marginally better.

When my former rugby coach was asked why he started playing rugby, he answered that he wanted to play a sport that was less violent and less detrimental to his overall health than what he had played before.
What had be played before? Soccer. :-)

I don't think you can step on a land mine for .60 seconds let alone 60 minutes.

I'd guess that depends on the type of mine. Some of them you actually DO want to keep standing on as long as possible until it can be safely disarmed.
