what?? no love for the giants?

While I respect the Giants as a team and they did do what everyone said they couldn't do, I still don't like the outcome. I have been so tired of hearing about Mannings this year....Payton this Eli that and don't forget about Archie. While I am neither a Giants or Patriots fan I just wanted to see the Pats go 19-0.

But hats off to NY as their defensive line just totally dominated last night and kept the game close. I agree that overall the game was a very good game too.

 

This past weekend I saw an incredible outpour of hatred towards all Boston/New England area sports teams. Kind of makes me feel bad for many of the Patriots, people like Teddy Bruschi, a class act guy who's been through a lot of the past few years, and is always looking to help his community. Bruschi and his team played a very good season of football, and all sorts of people spew hatred and disgust at them.

Many people say "The Patriots didn't expect the Giants to even show up", and that's completely false, all of the patriots were, in fact, classy. All season long they always expected a tough game with every team. In the post game interviews they tipped their hats to the Giants, and congratulated them.

It's just incredible to me how ignorant many of the "patriot haters" are. Many people who don't live in this area, don't even know much about the team..except from what the media reports.

It all comes down to the Underdog i suppose, everyone roots for the upset, but in 2002 everyone rooted for the Patriots to beat the Rams (Ironically the patriots were America's team shortly after 9/11), but now because of their recent successes over the last few years, everyone looks to tear them down.

In the end though, that is everyone's right as a sports fan.

 

Where i understand the whole "Spygate" issue, but what many people don't understand.. that the "*" doesn't belong with their acheivements of this year, the taping was not done this season. The scandal arised and ended after week one.

 

I am glad I just watch it for the commercials and the occasional good football play.

My kids rooted for the Patriats so me and the wife rooted for the Giants.

It was a good game, thought both teams did a great job of providing great entertainment. Some good plays, good throws so over all a good game.

When it was over, so was the TV. Way it should be!!!

 

Being a Dolphins fan (through thick and thin..it's called LOYALTY), I'm glad the Giants won. Keeps the 'Fins still the only perfect season all the way through.

It was a great game. Both teams played very well. This was an excellent Superbowl. Kind of like a lot of NASCAR races....it ain't over til it's over.

Yea, the Patriots went undefeated a few more games than the '72 Dolphins, but the Dolphins capped it with a Superbowl win.

When the Giants were playing the Packers in the play-offs I was hoping the Giants would win, as I figured they were the ones that could beat the Patriots.

Good job New York Giants!

And all the Manning stuff....who cares? Eli did a great job, and was certainly helped by his teammates. Especially the Defense! Wow, they kicked butt!!

Funny how people say stuff about the Mannings, yet Brady is somehow a god and that is just "peachy king". Well, Brady wasn't "god" this time.

 

I wouldn't quite say he was god, but he does hold the record for most touchdowns ever in a season

He's also had 2-3 different receivers each year, and he's still had success.

 

Spouse being from Rochester NY. Who'd you think was going to win? G-MEN of course!!!

That was a great game.
