The best Super Bowl in history was Super Bowl XXIII, when Joe Montana led the 49ers on that amazing drive to win the game with 48 seconds left. That was just amazing.

Well that was a great game too. But the 49ers weren't the underdogs the way the Patriots were. Also, the 49ers were behind in the game so they had no choice but to go for it. When the Rams tied the game tonight with just over a minute left in the game, even the TV announcers were saying that the Pats should just take a knee and take their chances in overtime after they received the ball around the 20 yard line. But Brady, with zero timeouts, marched the team down the field into field goal range and the rest is history. That was just as gutsy as Joe Montana's drive.

And let's add one more thing: Not only was it just as gutsy, but it's even MORE gutsy, imho, when you consider how long Brady has been in the league... ;0)

Finally, a Patriots S.B. win... It feels like I've been waiting forever for one...
