Someone needed to actually have a real game time thread (not one started in the middle of the day where no one could find it).

Let's roll.

A question on the pre-game. I noticed they introduced the Ram offense, but did no individual introductions for the Patriots.

Did the Patriots choose not to have anybody introduced, or did the network bypass it because they were running behind schedule for the national anthem?

Patriots made ALL the 'intangibles' and a couple of turnovers work for them. Got the 'W', and my hat's off to them.

Headline:

Super Bowl XXXVI - Pats 20, Rams 17 Congratulations Patriots!!!

Dales, I hope you bet money on the game; you predicted it exactly! ;)

Wow, over 1200 posts.

It was a great Super Bowl.

This SB was very similiar to SB25, when Parcell's Giants, led by Belichick's superior defensive strategy, out played the high powered offense of the Buffalo Bills.

GO BIG BLUE! and CONGRATS to the Pat's!

The Taxachussetts Patriots suck. Corrupt Ted Kennedy bought the game.

Rock and roll.

Great game, BUT the punter should have gotten the MVP award.

I don't normally get interested in NFL football any more because till now Houston hasn't had a team (and I had just recently moved here when the Oilers began to make noises about leaving so I never got a chance get up any interest in them).

But I did watch the SB last night, and was gratified to realize that it was NOT a typical Super Bowl. Usually, they are completely boring games unable to live up to the hype (Never could figure that out, either. Why can't the players get "up" for this ultimate game for all the marbles, like the World Series tends to be?)

But this one was great, going down to the wire, nice ebb and flow, etc.

Could have done without both Sir Paul McCartney's in-depth halftime analysis and Terry Bradshaw's embarrassing attempt to sing "A Hard Day's Night", but otherwise it was great.

I confess I even liked Pats' owner Robert Craft declaring "Tonight, we're all Patriots..." Nice touch.

To all those that doubted...

To all those that bet against...

To all those that said the Rams couldn't be stopped...

Kiss my freezing cold Bostonian...
