XLII

1. The best team won. I am happy the Giants pulled it out and I really found myself at the end getting nervous and rooting so hard for NY. And the miraclous Eli escape/35 yard heave to some guy named Tyree/who caught it by pinning it to his helmet play IS probably the best Super Bowl play I have ever seen.

2. TV is ruining sports. It really is. The game dragged and dragged last night. I am tired of watching commercials and long commercial breaks are killing the Super Bowl experience for me. Everyone wonders why these games are not usually great? Well how can anyone get into a rhythm when every stoppage in play is a two minute commercial break!!! This has to stop and if you watched the NBA playoffs last year, it was also an issue. And I am a use to have to write essays every year on the Super Bowl commericials because I am Marketing Degree toting Head of the Advertising Team of my church kind of guy. Part for the game in and of itself...sucks.

3. Corey Webster. The much maligned cornerback got beat by Randy Moss on the go-ahead TD for New England in the late stages of the fourth quarter, only to bounce back and make play after play against Moss on the last drive. I was happy for the kid that he dusted himself off, got up, and got the job done the next time. It is a lesson for everyone out there.

4. Fox did a great job on the broadcast. They really did. The super slo-mo shot of David Tyree's catch was incredible. There whole new slo-mo camera technology is awesome actually.

5. Classless move by three classless guys, Bill Belichick, Richard Seymour Cheapshots, and yes, Golden Boy Tom Brady for not staying on the field until the clock hit all zeroes. Sissy move and classless. Brady laughed at Plaxico's prediction earlier in the week and said "we are only gonna score 17 pts"? YES TOM how about 14!!!!! Man up and go shake hands with the guys who pummeled you next time! Especially since your team's motto was you never stop coaching and playing 100% until the clock hits triple zero's. You don't end the game, the officials end the game. You will never by the way hear the Michigan sports writers or fans call out Brady for this. Too much of a man crush by the whole state on this guy. "He went to Michigan so I gotta cheer for him..." So did Amani Toomer???

6. Why in the heck can't the Lions find guys like David Tyree and Ahmad Bradshaw. 6th and 7th round draft picks that are having an impact not only in the NFL but in the SUPER BOWL!!!!! The New York Giants have been to 4 Super Bowls in the last 22 years. 1986, 1990, 2000, and 2007. The 86 and 90 teams were kind of the same team. But in the other Super Bowls, it has been an entirely different cast of characters and teams leaders to get them there. As well as 3 different head coaches and 3 different QB's. As for the Lions?
