Personally, I thought that was the most boring Super Bowl I've ever seen. But the last few minutes were great and I'm glad young Eli Manning kicked Mr. Perfect, Tom Brady's, rear. Notice how Brady marched off the field and didn't shake Mannings hand. I guess he went to pout. But seriously, that was a boring game. Until the last few minutes, it was the second lowest scoring Super Bowl game in history.
Poor Tom Brady. His undefeated season ruined in the game that meant the most by a wild card team hehe. My favorite moment: That beautiful, beautiful sack during the last minute that lifted Brady up and knocked him about ten feet back. I'll be replaying that one in my head for a few days.
I only watched the fourth quarter, so I saw a GREAT game.

You sure did. The last quarter was the best. But you have to understand, the rest of us watched a 7-3 game for nearly 3 hours. The Giants' first drive took 10 minutes!!! Two thirds of the first quarter was nothing but the Giants gradually moving upfield so that they could get 3 measly points. Then the Patriots scored a touchdown and it stayed that way until near the end. The end was the best because it came down the wire, nearly into overtime. It was anybody's game during the last couple of minutes. But Eli showed Tom what he is capable of under the greatest pressure a quarterback can face, and Tom folded. Well, he folded under several Giants to be fair hehe. Jimmy Johnson said it best during the postgame show. He said the Giants dominated offesively, defensively, and just played a better game. Think about it, everyone said that the "undefeated" Patriots were going to squash the Giants. Not only did they not squash them, they got beat. Tom Brady got a nice, big slice of humble pie. Of course, he still wasn't humbled enough to be a good sport and shake Eli's hand. And if you don't know why I keep bringing that up, it's because he refused to shake Payton Manning's hand after Payton beat him as well. Tom Brady's just too big for his britches. Apparently that's how you get spanked.
