superbowl

thats the best thing about the nfl, it comes down to one game. if the championship was a 7 game series like other sports this wouldnt matter, it would be 4-1 and pats are champs again. the fact that anything can happen in 1 game, and the fact that the giants were so overly hyped and the pats were so fucking lazy and full of themselves, thats why the giants are champs and no matter how pissed i am now and how pissed i will remain they fully deserve to be champs

Great game. Congrats to the Giants, they fully deserved it the way they played and I cannot be any happier to see the Patriots lose.

no surprise the Pats going down though....

ha! are you kidding me! talk about revisionist historian

I am being serious....the amounts of close games that Pats had been through & just scraped victories (eg. Ravens' game) was eventually going to catch up with them....the Giants also proved to be a hard team to beat....there is no doubting that Pats had a lot more talent, but Giants outworked them to give themselves a chance....yes, I was shocked Giants won in fashion they did, but no, I wasn't shocked they won....I wouldn't have put multiple bets on them (low stakes, but still) unless I thought they had a chance of winning....I had also backed the Giants in Dallas & in Green Bay when nobody gave them a chance....anything can happen in one-off games....it's not like NBA where a dominant team should not lose in a 7 game series....it's just one game....

so no, not a huge surprise, only by Eli's drive in last 2 minutes

an upset is called an upset because it was a surprising win lol

yeh yeh it's one game and obviously anything can happen/and no one was giving them a chance. it's just so easy to say there wasn't a surprise after the fact that it happens. should have put your money where your mouth is instead of laying that chicken shit bet hehe.

i put a few c-notes on the under and the spread. i didn't expect to hit both but i said, "fuck it, why not? last football game of the year and i hate betting on baseball and basketball". and i'm not going to say "oh yeh- i called it"... other wise i would have been sitting pretty with $3700(like my gambling addict friend) instead of the few c-notes i won

i personally i don't think those scrappy "wins" had nothing to with them losing the superbowl. all credit goes to NYG, especially their D-line play

exactly what kind of victory by the Giants wouldn't have shocked you btw??

a Giants victory by more than a touchdown would've shocked me....the Pats were the hot favourites & should've won, but in a one off game, the way they got outplayed, they didn't deserve to win....as for me, I wouldn't even throw a $1,000 bet down on a sure thing....I'm not an addict & only dibble & dabble for the fun of it....I'm of the philosophy that I only bet what I'm willing to lose, whether that be a $3 bet or a $10 or $20 bet....

thats the best thing about the nfl, it comes down to one game. if the championship was a 7 game series like other sports this wouldnt matter, it would be 4-1 and pats are champs again. the fact that anything can happen in 1 game, and the fact that the giants were so overly hyped and the pats were so fucking lazy and full of themselves, thats why the giants are champs and no matter how pissed i am now and how pissed i will remain they fully deserve to be champs

that's why I also like March Madness, it comes down to whoever wins every game in the Tourney. There is no 2nd chances. It's a chance for Cinderella's to step up & impress.

this was the worst fucking game i have ever seen in my life. they could have put a bunch of 5th graders on the field and they would have provided better protection for brady. then the defense has eli sacked, its done, over, and they fucking let him go, he throws up some bullshit pass and the man makes an amazing catch. unreal. the worst thing about this superbowl is it is something i will hear about til the day i die or the nfl ends(whatever is first). every fucking year i am going to have to relive this game, the pain that filled(and still fills) my heart over such a shit ass game. my wife threatened to take the kids and leave if i didnt calm down, i guess i take the pats a bit too seriously.

in the end the pats had a chance to be considered the greatest team ever, now imo they are turning into the new buffalo bills after last years lose to the colts and this years pathetic superbowl performance

The Patriots have fans in Nicaragua.

MANAGUA - Shirts and caps proclaiming the victory of the New England Patriots — when the team actually lost the latest Super Bowl — have ended up in the hands of poor Nicaraguan children.

Hundreds of shirts and caps, which had been manufactured in advance to celebrate the Patriots’ expected victory over the New York Giants, were handed over to children in the southern city of Diriamba.

“The children are the winners,” said Miriam Diaz, of World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization.

World Vision has links with the National Football League, or NFL, and every year helps out poor children in Latin America and Africa with the unwanted “winners” shirts of the team that actually loses the Super Bowl.

Winners’ shirts and other garments are produced in advance so players and fans can put them on to celebrate immediately after the final whistle of the game. Garments of the losing team are obviously unwanted.

Too bad we can't say the same about the Pats.

[Sauru]

you have also just made the list

[shadowgrin]

Must be a veeery long list.

[Sauru]

it certainly aint getting any shorter

Finally saw the complete entirety of the game.
To add what has been said before in this thread, Tom Brady threw the football like a girl. The only time I saw him threw the football well was during the final seconds with those two incomplete plays.
What a choker.
