Running Supe XLII/42nd Large And Important American Football Game Thread

Tom Brady's. Duh.

 

Gotcha.

I was hoping it would be Hoodie's.

 

Bullshit.

Neither of those guys are considered pricks.

Belly even shook hands with Coughlin. Now had he not done that, shit would rain down on him.

 

ESPN.com has video of Mercury Morris' reaction leading their video's on the front page....

And I want to puke, yet not surprised, at all, that the WWL would pull this stunt again.

 

One play I wonder what people think of --- Belicheck's decision to not try a 48-yard field goal in the third quarter.

 

He's not going to eat the children. He's going to ask them how to get that tooth he has missing.

 

Strahan's a big boy. He could stomach Billy's, too.

 

I mean retiring a year before the Giants won the Super Bowl he has spent his entire life pursuing.

 

Just got back, but a couple of thoughts.

- The biggest goats are Belichek for not kicking the FG (has he explained what the hell he was thinking), and Brady who had plenty of chances, but was terrible all night.

- More than Manning, Osi or Tuck, I'd have voted either the entire O-line MVP, or if I couldn't, Tyree. Manning made a few throws he should have paid for, but NE let him off the hook. He was pretty good, but not the MVP.

- Even before tonight, I had a hard time putting Brady with Montana. Montana needed TDs & got them. All Brady did was get close enough for long FGs. Last year was the first time he needed 7 & he couldn't get it.

- As a championship snob who hates when just OK teams win titles, and a NJ resident who will have to listen to insufferable Giants fans until opening day, this was an annoying outcome, but a hell of a game.

- I really wonder how good this Giants team will be next year. Did Eli make the jump or have a hot streak? I have no idea.

- Who's having a worse night, Tiki or Schocky

 

Tuck was definitely the first-half MVP.

Problem is this.... the defense totally spit the bit in crunch time.

 

Re: Dungy, depends who you talk to. I would be shedding no tears if he retired tomorrow.

 

Darn. The Patroits lose. It couldn't have happened to a coach and team with more class than the Patriots. It just shows you that playing fair doesn't win all the time.
