Congrats to the Giants fans
Even though I just put 20+ of you (or more aptly the dickhead Pat haters) on ignore.. and I'm not done yet.

That was a great fucking game. I didn't think Eli could pull it off at the end but he did. :patriot:
I can't believe 2 mannings in a row. :puke:

3. They played a great game.
I'm enjoying the enlightenment I'm getting from the board tonight in regards to the victory.

I'm also looking forward to enhancing my Ignore list as well.

It was a hell of an upset.
A hell of a game, and a hell of a victory.
both teams played very well.
A nailbiter to the end.

17. I share your sentiment Shakespeare. And congrats to you and
other Patriot fans sniffa, it was a great game and you had a great season. You Patriot fans deserve a pat on the back instead of the Nelson from the Simpsons treatment.

Shula and the rest of th 72 Dolphins said this week. They still had an incredible season. One to be proud of.

I hear what you mean but the Giants played their ass off and they deserve all the credit they should get.

I don't even really like American Football, but that was a fun game. I hate Tom Brady, but I was just joking around when I said the Pats suck. Hope there's no hard feelings.

14. Cheers, sniffa
Something tells me we'll be watching that Hail Mary pass from Eli to David Tyree for years to come.

Highly improbable, but that's why they play the game.

19. This Chargers fan extends the olive branch to the NY Giants
After the way New England stomped our asses and then threw it back in our faces, the assholes deserved whatever they got. I have no sympathy for them. :nopity:

It was a good game. One of the best SB ever, well at least imo, but it has to rank up in the Top 5 b/c of everything at stake.

I can't believe the Giants pulled it off since this patriots team is probably one of the best ever.

But the G-men were the best team in the playoffs.

BTW, I'm glad this manning got to win it this year. :-)

As a Giants fan, I don't believe in being an ass to the losing team. Winning is sweet enough, no need to act like a douche. Great game to the Pats, it was a nail biter and certainly a game for the ages.

Consider this my virtual handshake to Pats Nation

29. That was before the clique took over, apparently.
Or so I've been told. :eyes:

Great game, though. I didn't think we would pull it out. I was getting pretty nervous there at the end.

32. I'm a Pat hater
gonna ignore me?

I can't forgive them for snubbing Connecticut.

Plus I was raised a Giants fan.

That being said - I've seen more Grateful Dead shows at Giant Stadium than Giant games. Mmmmm - acid.

36. I still mourn the loss of the Whalers
:(

They were shown on our local channel when I was a kid (not the Bruins - you had to pay for that) so I remember them fondly. Fuck the Hurricanes.

40. Hockey's my 7th favorite sport to watch - as in I pretty much don't watch it
So I hear you. I just always loved the Whalers. I especially loved there uniforms and logo.

34. Storybook season for them, must feel really good to especially beat
the juggernaut.

I actually went to bed wondering if some of the Pats defensive players threw the game, because they sure weren't playing last night.

37. I'm not a Giants fan, but my deceased Dad was, so...
I sent red & blue flowers to the cemetery with a Giants balloon and had a Mylar Giants balloon in our living room and cried when they won. Saying, how I wish my dad could see this. I mean really cried. I know how much it would have meant to my dad. It was a miracle win, and all I could think of was my dad.

So this one's for you, Dad.

50. For my dad too . . .
He died right before Giants Stadium was finished. During the “lousy” years. Back when the Giants’ winning even one game was a rarity.

He could not have even imagined the previous Super Bowl wins . . . and now this.

Here’s to our dads! And to the Giants! :toast: :hug:

39. I'm a Pats fan, but it just seemed to me that their hearts weren't in it last night. Where were
the guys who were supposed to be protecting Brady? And WHERE were the officials all those times the calls would have gone NE's way? (That last one really chaps my hide)

44. I dunno.
I was beginning to wonder if they just felt entitled to the win, and weren't really trying. Then they had that great storm up the field for a second TD, like they should have been playing all game, but it was too little too late.

and both teams played like it!

Best Super Bowl in many years, maybe ever. Congrats, Giants fans.
