The Pats



What was it that made the Superbowl so satisfying this year? Maybe it was how annoyingly cocky the patriots are and how great it was to see them get beaten. I think the game would have been good if the Giants had dominated and just slaughtered the Patriots, but the fact that they went ahead with 35 seconds to go... that was heart-stoppingly amazing.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no Giants fan. I like Manning, but really only because of his older brother. What I was watching for was anyone to beat the Patriots (and also watching for a good half-time show). What I got was one of the most exciting football games of the season.

So were any of you dissapointed? Did anyone actually want Pretty Boy and the Pats to win?



....sucks to be you!

Pop reported hearing an interview with Mrs. Archie Manning last year. She was excited for Payton and hoped next year would be Eli's turn. Of course, at the time, no one expected the events of last night. But, as a mother, how heart-warming to have two sons win back-to-back honors---not just the Super Bowl victories but MVP, as well.
What a great game! I didn't think the commercials were that great--they usually outshine the game for me, but not last night!

I only watched one football game this last year, and it was last night's. I think on one hand I did want to be watching in case history was made, but I was really hoping to see the Patriots loose. I don't typically throw around the term "dorkwad", but I think it applies to what's his face, so like Mom I was happy to see Eli and his team win, especially with the amazing series of plays towards the end of the game. Eli just didn't want to get tackled.
