All week long, I bit my tongue when I read and heard all the pro Rams stuff. It was Rams this, Rams that, superior team, and on and on and on. I was hoping that the Rams would start to believe it and start to take the Patriots for granted.

Even during the game, I held back. I was hoping that that missed second Rams field goal would be decisive, ---and it was. The call back TD, because of holding, threw me into a tizzy and I spent the last 30 seconds with my fingers over my eyes (with a small hole for peeking) and finally let out a WHOOP when that ball went over with .02 left on the clock!

I then let it all out!!!!!! When the defense was doing so well, I was afraid of jinxing them if I got my hopes up, but finally they won and all the pundits can now eat their words! Never will anyone one take any team for granted again! All those boasters and know-it-alls can go hide their heads. The Patriots won - not by a fluke, but by a fantabulous defense and a special, special team.

So often the Super Bowl is not 'super' -- but this one is for the books. Congrats to the Pats! A great team and a great coach! I had to laugh when Madden didn't agree with Belichick's strategy in that last play before the field goal. Then when it worked, he had the goodness to say: "I agree with Belichick's strategy"! (OWTTE) HeeHee! LOL!

Good game and a happy ending for all the believers!

I hear ya, Exit. Feels good when you don't act unprofessionally.

I did sorta the same thing. Check this out from another thread I posted on:

Eagles/Patriots Superbowl? Taglibue and the Fox Sports prez will be slitting their wrists Monday morning if that happens.

Which would be fine with me since they are not picking up Pat Summerall for play-by-play next year (he and Madden are the absolute best in the business for the NFL).

But seriously, I agree that the sheep won't win it all. The Philly defense held them in check this year, and Piggsburgh's D is just too much. Kurt Warner will swear he's seeing 33 Piggsburgh jerseys on the field if they play.

Again, my gut (if I were a betting man) tells me Philly vs. New England. NE just seems to have the intangibles working for them this year. McNabb is maturing right before our eyes and is ready for the big time, IMHO.

Should be fun to watch this Sunday!
