I'm hoping the Patriots will win but I'm going to say that the Giants will win 17 - 14 with a play in the last minute and events that look like the whole thing was wrigged. (You'll see, just like I've seen...)

Yeah.  You could tell by the way Tyree caught this ball..


There's no way that he could have done that without a fix... right?

you know I'd like to be able to say that, with the clock getting all wacky during that last drive (stopping for no reason, then not starting again during an entire Giants play, then adding time back, etc) and I think I remember seeing an offensive pass interference by the Giants that wasn't called early on.

The fact is the Giants seemed to want it more, Brady got hit more in that game than the whole bloody season.  Everything seemed to go the Giants way.  They played better than the Patriots and deserved to win.

Now as a Pats fan I'd rather they have dropped one earlier in the season and won last night but what can you do.  It's just a game.

Seriously!  He must've been like "What's this hard, horizontal surface I keep hitting??"

He saw more grass than a Mexican landscaper.

I'm very excited about the win.  I just converted last year to a Giants fan.  (From a non-football fan.)  I've never had a team in the Super Bowl before!!!  Enrique's been a fan since 1990 (when he was 10), so he's REALLY happy.

Yay Giants!!!!!

I didnt have stake in either team, but I had a feeling the Giants would win. I wanted to see the Pats win though. How often do you get to witness a perfect season?

Shockey made me a Giants fan. I didn't realize he had been out due to a broken leg but I decided to stay true. To be honest, I didn't know they were even in the running until they beat the Packers, but I decided to go with it.

Plus, when they wear the red uniforms it reminds me of KU.

How did I miss this thread?

I never really had a chance, my parents have been Giants fans since before I existed.  I am not a huge football fan but I've been getting into it more over the years, but I only really watch a game if the Giants are playing.  That was an AMAZING game.  :-D

So you can imagine my mother's confusion when she came over from Germany, where football is soccer is Fußball.  Oddly enough, she's not into soccer.  She was more into football than my dad, so really it's her fault that I'm a Giants fan.
