Un-Patriotic

I don't plan to write too much about the Superbowl. I'm disappointed that the Pats lost to the Giants, but the Giants are a great story. They beat very good teams on the road to win the championship...it's well-deserved.

It was almost divine intervention at the end of the game. Asante Samuel has an interception slip through his fingertips...this almost certainly would've iced the game. Then Manning, not known for being nimble, escapes the grasp of Jarvis Green and connects with David Tyree for a 30+ yard gain that has to go down as one of the greatest SuperBowl catches. Tyree actually pinned the football to his helmet and maintained control as he was hit. It was an amazing athletic feat...even this Patriot fan applauded.

Anyway, kudos to the Giants. Pats had a great year and will have to move on from this game. I would'nt be surprised to see a hangover next year and a rough start to the season. You have to wonder if Belichick did them any favors pushing as hard as he did all year....
