The only downside to this victory is that Brandon Jacobs wasn’t able to drill the pigskin through Wilfork’s cavernously empty skull after trotting into the end zone.

So, who won the game?

Yes, it’s quite enjoyable.
My question is; Will that UGA Bulldawg heart lean to the Volunteer, or the Rebel, when the siblings meet in Super Bowl XLIII?

Did somebody mention the Volunteers???

I don’t care about the game. Get that AA-12 in the hands of our boys in Iraq NOW.

Looks like the Pats have to go back to their original playbook to win…you know the one where they stole the plays and signals from other teams.
Looks like with the NFL slap on the wrist and being told not to cheat, the Pats have a hard time closing out the games.

The pro-Patriots media was peacocking for the last two weeks on how the Patriots were the Chosen Ones and Tom Brady was the greatest QB of all time and that the Giants would be better served to not even show up on Sunday and idiotic stuff like that. Naturally, this pissed off the Giants to the point that you knew they were going to pull out all the stops and win this thing. If anything, Brady should be grateful that the Giants didn’t really drive the point home by breaking both his ankles and ending his career. Bottom line is simple: the better team won. Get over it, New England!

I’m a die-hard Giants fan and I sure as hell WASN’T sad to see the arrogant, obnoxious Pats lose.

I AM IN HEAVEN TODAY !! THE GIANTS ARE SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS!!!

And as someone who watched this team, and Eli, all year, I still don’t believe it!!! FAN-TASTIC

Funny how just one play would have made for a completely different end! Asante Samuels had caught that interception the headlines sure would have been very different.

Congratulations to the Giants defense, they won a well deserved victory.

The Patriots and Brady will be back and yes Tom will certainly win another few rings to the angst of many. But the bottom line is he’s a great quarterback, and those who disparage him are only sounding childish and petty.

Pats fans will, no doubt, blame the loss on the attendance of Giselle Bundchen.

SECOND LOOK AT GISELLE BUNDCHEN!.
Just on general principles.

Let’s remember kids that Tom Brady lucked out with the “tuck rule” against the raiders. Don’t forget John Kasay kicking off out of bounds vs the panthers with 30 seconds left. Illigitimate children. Not real good family values which I know offens all hotair readers like myself. It’s good to see righteousness win out in the end. Not to mention Bilichek’s constant cheating and adulturous affairs with his secretary. America won today.

THE CHOSEN ONE on February 3, 2008 at 11:14 PM

Lighten up Francis.
You talking about a football player, or a politician? Sounds like the latter to me.

I’ve been singing Manning praises here tonight, but I did notice that Brady, among a few others, had his hand over his heart during the National Anthem.
Eli? Ehh…not so much.

And for the record. Brady has more Super Bowl Rings than the Manning family combined.
( I ~~feel~~ predict that will change in the future.)

Damnnnnnn. As a Manning fan, I’m reveling in two good years. Yee haw.

There an old adage that offense sells tickets, but defense brings home championships. I think this is also a good example of a bunch of good players playing together as a TEAM, rather than a few stars trying to hog the limelight.

It looked like Eli stole a few moves from Fran Tarkenton there at the end (except of course that Eli won).

Big Blue #1!!!

Amen. Look for Manning double team in multiple commercials.

Double team?

Dude, do you know how many Mannings there are?

And what did Archie play, like 48 years and never got to the play-offs? lol

oakpack on February 3, 2008 at 10:27 PM

Actually, it was only 13 years in the NFL.
It just felt like 48.
If you include the time he spent running for his life.

You’re correct, he never made the play-offs.

But you do know with which team the bulk of those years were spent, don’t you?

Oh, and just outta curiousity, do you know people from Starkville?

Tough game for Junior Seau. That could be his last game
and no ring. Great player.

Texyank on February 4, 2008 at 12:55 AM

Yeah, I know. The Pats have some neat guys and lots of great players on the team. Bruski, Seau, etc., and Wes Welker scares the pee out of me every time he touches the ball. But Brady and the coach are really jerks.
