I knew the San Francisco Giants would win. Go Barry Bonds!!!!!!!

As most 49ers fans were rooting for the Giants...

And the '72 Dolphin fans were rooting for the Giants...

GO GIANTS!!!

Seriously, that's the best 4th quarter I've ever seen in a Superbowl.

The Giants earned this one... played HARD the entire game. :thumbsup:

Archie Manning is the proudest dad on Earth right now. :hehe: :)



Cheers, :drink:

LOL.

I'd NEVER cheer for those Giants... Unless Willie Mays makes a comeback. :mrgreen:

Hee hee. [Giving TuTricky the Hi5 for a good joke] :hehe:

Honestly... that mad scramble and throw by Manning to Tyree... Manning pulled off a Houdini on that one... and Tyree reeling that in from on high one-handed with defenders blanketing him...

As much as I love the 49er's and "The Catch" (Montana to Clark), you'd have to put Manning to Tyree up there in terms of one of the greatest pass receptions in NFL history. :applaud:

I didn't really follow the game but I did watch segments of the fourth quarter and I had a forboding that the Giants would win. An historic upset to say the least.

i like that :dancing: :dancing: :rofl: :hehe: :mrgreen: :woot:

Yow, I wonder what Tiki Barber has to say now that the Giants won the Super Bowl one year after he retired from the team... And criticized Eli Manning and coach Tom Coughlin... :sweat:

And Junior Seau is on the losing end of the Super Bowl again... 13 years after his last appearance in the Super Bowl.

Speaking of Tiki... :)

Well, to be fair, when Tiki said that about Eli, it was justifiable. At that point, Eli was quiet and did not command the confidence of his team.

Frankly, Eli has looked like Doogie Howser out there. :rofl:

By contrast, Coach Dungy of the Colts is a quiet man AND commands complete confidence from his team. :thumbsup:

Eli came of age late this season. From the last game of the regular season versus the Patriots and throughout the playoffs, he's been clutch.

Believe this is his 4th year in the NFL. Not too shabby. :applaud:

Hope that Tiki can take his hat off to Eli and the rest of the Giants. They EARNED this one. :bow:



Cheers, :drink:

Not the best Superbowl 4th quarter I've ever seen.

I remember a couple of games vs. the Bengals that were better.

But this was pretty freakin' cool.

And I'll fess up, PC. I didn't really want to see Brady get that 4th ring so quickly.

Wow. That was the first chance I've had to root for the Giants since Fran Tarkinton moved to Minn. And they win the Superbowl! Jeez!

Tagline of today's L.A. Times sports page: "Can't win 'em all." :hehe: :rofl:

Speaking of Junior Seau....

Great Giants victory!!! :victory:

The 4th quarter was unbelievable considering the defensive first 3 quarters ... that were filled with turnovers and bad plays. :shakehead:

I kinda wonder what the final drive by Eli will be called, considering it was quite historic. Another 'The Drive'?

Not to mention the fact that Eli did a "Vick", avoiding 3 sacks in that one play before the bomb to Tyree. Another 'The Catch'?

The only negative thing to come out of the Giants winning is that we're gonna continue to hear from those bitter old fogies from the '72 Dolphins. :banghead:

...but at least we don't have to hear from those annoying Bostonian fans anymore... :hehe: .. Their luck ends here, until the Celtics win it all.. :beaten:

That's blaspheny.

There's two and only two "Catches": Joe Montana to Dwight Clark and Willie Mays' over-the-shoulder catch in the Polo Grounds in the 1954 World Series.

Ehh, the media just plays that up... I don't put any stock into that.

That might've changed with the Lakers getting Pau Gasol. ;)

Yea, they'll never be another play called "The Catch" considering Montana-Clark hookup was for a TD. But, the Eli-Tyree connect will be one of the most unlikely plays in Superbowl history. It was quite amazing to see. :mrgreen:

I dunno about that... those Dolphins players were often quoted, not just in the 2 weeks leading up to SB, but all throughout the season about how they still believed they would be the better undefeated team if the Pats went 19-0. Most admitted they were openly rooting for the Giants.... and I bet they really do pop the champagne bottles after last undefeated team loses each season...

but that perhaps is just a reason to get liquored up together. :beaten:

That might've changed with the Lakers getting Pau Gasol.

Yea, it might seem Kobe winning another NBA title is becoming a real possibility.. :sweat:

..but as much as I dislike those Boston teams, I'd like to see KG and Ray Allen finally get a ring. :fingerscrossed:
