I feel sorry for anyone who missed the last 2:45 of this game...

[Richard Kimball]

I'd rather play against a sore loser than any kind of winner. The Pats tailed off at the end of the year. They were still playing well, but previously they were killing people. The last about five games were all close.

OMG. I just thought about the guys that placed bets in Vegas at the start of the season that the Pats would be perfect. They'll need to be put on suicide watch.

[LadyBuzz]

Harry Reid comes to mind....

[Always Right]

I am so sick and tired of hearing about the “perfect Patriots.” This is SOOOO SWEEEEEET!

But even worse though, we still have to hear about the 72 Dolphins,

[rintense]

I KNEW THE GIANTS WOULD WIN!!!!!!

And Bill Belicheat leaving the field before th game was over. Really classy. I hope the owner lights into his sorry butt.

The Pats can go home and drink that dirty water!

[scott says]

The Giants totally outplayed the Pats and deserve the win. All year I have pointed out how bad the Pats D was and tonight it finally caught up with them. They went out and got offensive players but did very little to address the D.
Congrdulations to the Giants and their fans-—you deserve this win, you are the better team. The Pats were lucky to have gone so far with their D——

[SkyPilot]

I’ve been napping most of the evening....was there a game today?

Yeah - but you didn't miss much.

Typical Super Bowl game that didn't "live up to they hype" - another blowout in the first quarter and then it was over by halftime.

[jveritas]

The Giants played better and they won, it is a simple as that. The Patriots offense team crumbled and the Giants defense team was simply incredible.

[MotleyGirl70]

I'm a Packer fan but I was rooting hard for the Giants this whole game!

The Giants deserve this Super Bowl win in the biggest way.

Congrats! : )

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes, a GREEEAATTT game. Am so glad I decided to watch it....here with FR thread Friends.....LOL....without FR I doubt I would have.

Thanks all. What an upset! What a win!

New England did have a great season.

But the Super Bowl belongs to the upstart Giants and one formerly “choking” quarterback - Eli Manning. Plus a tremendous defensive game by the Giants....giving the Patriots way more trouble for Brady’s passing than usual.

GREAT GREAT GAME!!!

GISELLE= NY Giants MVP

[jwalsh07]

It was a GREAT game amigo. Absolutely great.

And Coughlin deserves a lot of credit. Rotating the defensive line kept the push on Brady even though they ran low on petrol at the end of the game.

That play by Eli should be shown to every kid in grade school.

Never quit!

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Doug Williams put on some weight

[nutmeg]

Wow, what a game. I don't like the way it ended, though. I was looking forward to a perfect season for the Patriots.

Congratulations, Giants and Giants fans...

[ThreePuttinDude]

MG70, I wanted to see the Packers in the SB
but I’ll take a win by the Giants...NFC all the way

[mass55th]

"Bellicheck is all sour grapes. What a jerk."

Yeah, he left the field before the game was even over. What's up with that? Poor losers.

I live in Central NY but root for the Steelers. I'm glad the Giants won though. I can't stand the Patriots. My niece's husband is a big Giants fan. I bet she's having problems getting him down from the ceiling.

[RummyChick]

has there ever been two brother QB’s to win a superbowl?

[deadhead]

Folks are tooting there horns and lots of fireworks here on L.I. Very, very cool.

What a game!
