As a born-and-bred New Englander, right now I feel
happy for the Giants players and their fans.

Terrific game. That play where your guy Tyree caught the pass with one hand and his helmet? Oh, yes.

1. Yeah, and I have no idea how Eli didn't get sacked on that play
It was truly a classic play and I think the whole game will be considered a classic. Everybody from both teams left everything they had out on the field.

8. Reminded me of a play last year
where I believe it was a Giant(could be wrong), who was going to sack V. Young, and he just...let him go, and Young scampered off for a first down...very weird.

3. Thank you.
As a Giants fan, I'm very happy that our team, who got little or no credit from the TV talking heads, and had a very difficult path to the championship, finally got their due.

And, congratulations to the Pats fans on an incredible season!

5. Yes, it was hardly believable.
What a play that one was.

6. Even better than the "Immaculate Reception," it was. I'm surprised Tyree didn't pop
the football like a grape, he grabbed it so tight after he got it off his helmet.

10. That was truly a great game.
I rooted for the Giants from the start of the game simply because they were such underdogs. When Eli threw that interception in the first quarter I thought it's over, but they never quit. Every once in a while the Super Bowl lives up to it's hype, and this was one of the best.
