Belicheck was arrogant and a terrible loser with that stunt he pulled at the end. Carey was telling him there was time left, he kept going, and then was completely out of the tunnel before the Giants even snapped the ball. I will be interested to hear how the national media treats that this week. When I saw that, I was so happy that he lost, he deserved it.

i love the fact that that arrogant ass got beat! good for the giants!!!!!

It was great to see this, what an upset. This was a fantastic nigh and a great end to an awesome season!

OK...so I'm pretty apathetic to the NFL...it was an entertaining game and i am a bit disappointed to not witness history...but supporting the 72 Dolphins? The group of players who get together every season after the last undefeated team falls to celebrate their loss? Thats just classless...and nothing would've satisfied me more to never ever have to hear Mercury Morris rap.

A forfeit would have the worst thing for the NFL, so there was no way they were going to do it. There has never been an official forfeit of a game, although in 1921 a game was forfeited due to weather. It's not recognized by the NFL.

---This makes the Dallas loss to the Giants by 4 points a bit better to accept... They just defeated a team with a 18 game winning streak.

---I loved E.Smith comment about the game.... "Defense wins championships, offense puts butts in the seats." The Giant defense was amazing as it was against Dallas also. Brady laughing about the Plexico prediction of holding NE to 17 looks funny now.... LOL ... They only scored 14 and Brady was getting clobbered all day....... As ESPN (Shawn Stansbury) said, a great QB will look very ordinary when facing that kind of pressure. .....

---the Eli to Tyree pass we will see for a long time on NFL films and other places. .. It was amazing on both ends..... Eli should have never escaped the NE defense and then got the pass off and on the other end Tyree catch was absolutely amazing. Often one end of a pass play is amazing but rarely both.

I was pretty ambivalent towards the game, and as such, I have trouble understanding how many people actually found it all that entertaining. I honestly think it has to come from the outcome itself instead of the actual play. The 4th quarter was good, but before that, this was a pretty lame Super Bowl.

And yes, the Giants have to be in that list of worst teams to win a SB, but at least theirs was against the Pats.

MVP to the Giants D-Line, IMO. Might have to share it with the O-Line in this game.

---Back to E.Smith quote again.... offense puts butts in seats. This was not a offensive game ... NY played a hell of a defensive game, . I disagree they were the worst to ever win. They did lose six games----but: two to 13-3 Dallas, one to 13-3 Green Bay, both received NFC byes and were the first NY two games of the season. One to NE (by 3) who was undefeated in regular season, one to Washington (who made the playoffs also), and then there was one unexpected poor loss to Minnesota.

---The Giants won eleven (11) consecutive road games and the final three teams they played in the playoffs... Dallas, Green Bay and New England --- had a combined record of 45-6 prior to playing the Giants. All three of them were revenge games by the Giants for 4 of their 6 losses. They were on the road every one of those and were never favored to win..... but they did. Give them credit. This was not a blooper bowl game of NE mistakes... they took it to them, sacked him 5 times and put Brady on the ground a whole lot of times besides the sacks. Brady had been sacked only 21 times during the 16 game regular season. They are far from the worst team to ever won. The game was a good one... just not the offensive one that we have gotten used to seeing from NE, the Colts, and the Rams.

To many of today's fans often think defense is boring.... a lot of points does not mean great game...and only a few points does not mean poor game. ineptness and dumb turnovers and dumb penalities do. NT scored a lot of points (6 games 27 or more) ... and won TWO games... not a good season.

NY defeated every NFC divison champion except Seattle which they did not play plus they defeated the 18-0 AFC Champion New England which had won 3 of the previous 5 Super Bowls.... That looks fairly convincing to me that they are not the worst to ever win a Super Bowl. .

I was stoked, but for obviously biased reasons. I know the Eli love fest might be overboard, but it was great to see a Rebel do that on such a large scale. And he played fantastic down the stretch. Flashy? No, but steady and consistent. I'd say he's finally learned to play within himself and manage the game. Great job, and Hotty Toddy! If there is any justification for the love-fest that will take place, it's to make up for the fact he took more harsh criticism and bashing than any other QB in the NFL. And great to see him still calmly handle himself and just give credit to his team. Great job Eli, and great win for the Giants!

Had to be the BEST Super Bowl I have seen in a Looooooooooog time. Sure was nice to see "BeliCheat" and the Pats taken down by a very underratted Giants team. Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeat Defense against the Pats last night. WOW...I have to wonder what it will be like next year in the NFL East. The East may be a Beast once again.

Way to go Eli and the Giants....Little Brother makes it a double in the Manning household. Great to see...great family...great guys....I loved it!

Now...let's see the Cowboys do it next year!

I said they're among the worst ever (one on the LIST). I just don't consider them a great team. They have an AMAZING D-Line, a decent group of linebackers, and that's about it, and, as has been typical the last few years, early favorites in the NFC have played their worst football late in the season.

It's not that defense is boring. It's that floating duck passes and receivers who can't hold onto the ball for 90% of the game makes for bad football. The Giants D did an outstanding job dominating the LOS, but there were enough mistakes made by both teams for me to consider this a pretty lame Super Bowl.

The New England defense, in its own right, played pretty poorly, which is another reason why I don't think you can point to this just being a defensive game.

I made three trips into town today and each time all I heard on the three radio channels I usually listen to is how this was one of the best Super Bowls in memory. Same for the tv news channels. Last years upset by Boise over zeroU and now this game. The past two seasons has had some great football in college and pro. It's time for the Mean Green to be a part of it in '08.

---According to ESPN it was the most watched Super Bowl game ever... the previous high was Cowboys vs. Pittsburgh during the 90's. It is also the 2ed highest program ever... the final program of M*A*S*H is first.

I thought the defensive line play of NY was so good, that I thoroughly enjoyed the game.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?

      Say you didn't see any SMU crowds this season, without saying you didn't see any SMU home crowds this season. That place was packed and rocking, like nobody could've dreamed.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I mean are you saying you want to know exactly what every player is paid? My worry is you would have each of them know that number is so they can be jealous and fight about it. I think the coaches have to determine the amounts and allocations unless you are an SMU or someone who can afford to pay every player on the roster 100k a piece. If you don’t have mountains of cash you have to allocate per the coaches wish I would think. Agents come into play sadly as well I suppose.
