Super Bowl XLII open thread: The Giants shock the world; video added
posted at 5:00 pm on February 3, 2008 by Bryan
19-0 or 18-1? Will Manning the Lesser avenge his brother? Will the Patriots complete the first perfect season in a generation? Will any of the commercials live up to the hype? Could I ask any more annoying questions?
Yeah, but I’ll stop. Have fun, enjoy the game, etc etc.
Update (AP): If you’re looking for the ads, they should be available on YouTube either during or immediately after the game. Keep your eye on YT’s front page and their AdBlitz channel.
In the meantime, something to help you prepare mentally for the game.
Update: The end zone pass to Burress goes down as the game winner, but this is the play that saved the game and may make the Eli Manning legend. It was 3rd and 5, 1:15 to go and the Giants down by 4 on their own 43. The Patriot D blitzes and catches Manning in the backfield, but he slips out of the Patriots’ grip to haul a shot down the field to David Tyree. Tyree makes a miracle catch, the Giants get the first down and go on to win.

The Pats offensive line has sucked this game.
Seriously. Have they been able to stop the Giants at all tonight?

WoosterOh on February 3, 2008 at 10:02 PM

Mallard T. Drake on February 3, 2008 at 10:03 PM
IT IS OVER!!!
Gatordoug on February 3, 2008 at 10:03 PM
I just keep thinking of Brady pushing Al Gore’s Inconvenient Lie movie the other day…
maybe he should have spent more time worrying about the game and not an Inconvenient Excuse for the government to take our tax dollars.
I’m luvin’ it :-)
TOPV on February 3, 2008 at 10:03 PM
My day is MADE . . . . Congrats New York Giants
Texyank on February 3, 2008 at 10:03 PM

Adios, Patriots. Adios, Mitt.
I, for one, welcome our new Giants overlords.

And we now enter into the black hole in the sports calendar. No more football and the baseball season is a few months away. NBA? please. College BB and golf tournaments.
When is the draft and do training camps open?

Aw….I love seeing a big man cry! Giants deserved to win. They played better.

How many people just lost a ton of money?

One supposes that New Yorkers will be more insufferable than usual (sez the girl who lives in the large city w/ no football team). ;-)
Seriously, it’s a great victory. Congratulation Giants and Giant fans.

Hats off to the Giants and Eli — they fought like hell and they earned it… my Pats can’t win a game like this unless they turn on some offense… congratulations NY and all you Giants fans…
D2Boston on February 3, 2008 at 10:09 PM

jp on February 3, 2008 at 10:10 PM
The Giants win is merely a metaphor for the Republican win in November. ^_^

LOL!
Patriots STINK!
Chakra Hammer on February 3, 2008 at 10:12 PM
What a game. Watched from beginning to end. Damn, it is incredible. That scramble by Eli then the catch over the middle on the helmet summed up the Giants season. Just can’t stop grinning.
Mordart on February 3, 2008 at 10:13 PM
I hope Your right.
abinitioadinfinitum on February 3, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Bill Billichek is a complete scumbag, left the game before it was over. This guy is worse than Putin. Rot in HE double hockey sticks patriots. Steelers are the greatest team of all time. Not to mention, NFL commisioner Roger Goodell is going to congress soon to talk about spygate and all the cheatin’ the pats have been doin for years. Life is great.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 3, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Hats off to the Giants and Eli. They came through in the clutch like true champions.

Yogi Berra on the 1969 NY Mets…..” overwhelming underdogs ”
The same should apply to the NY Giants!
Chakra Hammer on February 3, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Just a tremendous team effort by NY. Congrats to them and their fans……….
Patrick S on February 3, 2008 at 10:14 PM
I forgot about that – thanks for the heads up
kc2ige on February 3, 2008 at 10:15 PM
the Superbowls this decade have been much better than previous decades…in the past you had blowouts often times. Thank you free agency.
jp on February 3, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Good 4th quarter, can’t say much about the rest of the game.
Coronagold on February 3, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Hoorah!!!!!!!!!!
JonRoss on February 3, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Actually Bill Belichick’s ego lost this game.
4 and 13 and he goes for the touchdown instead of the field goal?
Bet he regrets that decision about now.
Slublog on February 3, 2008 at 10:15 PM
BS. The Pats gave it away. What a terrible effort.
