Super Bowl link dump
For the rest of my life I will never, ever get tired of watching this play.
Go to Giants.com for more video highlights.
New England Patriots' fans everywhere are stunned today. ESPN's Bill Simmons offers up a pretty typical reaction. Over at Pats Pulpit they are referring to last night's defeat as 'Ultimate Humble Pie.' I know it doesn't taste very good.
SI.com's Don Banks says the Giants showed the Patriots what they used to look like.
From Banks.
No matter how you look at it, the Super Bowl was a great show. And it was the most watched game in Super Bowl history.
The only bad news of the day for Giants' fans is that Steve Spagnuolo will interview with Washington on Tuesday for their vacant head coaching job.
Here is a list of 10 places the Patriots can place blame.
If time permits, I will have more links later on. But, this ought to keep you satisfied -- and unproductive at work -- for now.

I just went to that site...
"The REAL HISTORY... New England Patriots.
Coach - (Bill B.) A poor sport. A convicted cheater, caught red-handed. Now there are more reports coming forward saying he's been cheating for a long time. This guy is rotten to the core. He should be fired, then banned from the league.
Quarterback - (Tom Brady) A poor sport. An arrogant person, and some might even say a "moron". He's a very good quarterback, but also very over-rated. He had a lucky year, playing over his head all season. The REAL Tom Brady showed up ath the Super Bowl, where he played half-BLEEP , and got beaten up and tossed around like a ragdoll. Welcome back to reality Tom.
Receiver - (Randy Moss) One of the biggest scumbags to ever put on an NFL uniform. This guy is a low-life, and always has been. There is currently a pending case where he's accused of beating-up a woman, but I think we'll see him busted for something else in the coming months, perhaps landing him in jail/prison. Randy Moss is a talented wide receiver, but he's a horrible human being.
FANS - (Patriots Fans) This year, you became obnoxious, rude, and behaved like spolied little children. You deserve the terrible-empty feeling you have right now. I hope it hurts for a long time. You guys are the worst fans I've seen, with the exception of Philly Eagle fans.
BOTTOM LINE - The New England Patriots are LOSERS. They lost the Super Bowl, they lost the perfect season, and they lost the respect of many around the league.
GAME OVER."
Followed in close second of course by this comment from Iron City Thieves:
"Belicheck leaving the sidelines before the last play was finished shows what lack of class he has.
I feel sorry for Gisele Bundchen. Now she'll have to put up with Tom's sulking tantrums for the next couple months."
Very nice.

KirBir
Tom Brady has been an outstanding quarterback since the year he took over from Bledsoe. He is not overrated...in fact he was great even when his receivers weren't. He is not a poor sport either. As for last night, blame the great play of the Giants. Don't forget Brady still almost won the game.
Moss? Though he has been squirrely in the past you've got to give him credit for his play and demeaner this year. There is reasonable cause to suspect that the women accusing Moss is an extortionist. We cannot condemn him until it is actually proven he has done something wrong.
Fans? Fans are fans. We're all obnoxious when it comes to our teams.
Belichick? No one thinks he isn't a great coach. His social skills are lacking as is his sportsmanship. He is definitely guilty of vengefully running up scores, making a mockery of press conferences, interviews, injury reports, and generally being a dick. I think his morals are lacking, but we've had Presidents who have done worse.
Have you noticed the absense of any comments from other teams about the films? I suspect that Belichick just happened to be the one that got caught. I hate to say it but the Patriots probably could have given their opponents the equivilant of what he secretly filmed and still won.
Now that I've said that, I'm going to go online and buy one of those t-shirts that say,"18 and 1...Sorry, New England, maybe nest year."

agreed
brady - when it is all said and done, tom brady will likely be one of the top 5 quarterbacks of all-time.
moss - 23 touchdowns is absolutely ridiculous, that record will stand for a LONG time.
belichick - you may not like the guy, but don't forget the part he played when we was with the giants. his character may be lacking but his coaching acumen is unparalleled.
and damn you KirBir for making me defend the patriots!

Very well said...
I remember the feeling I had when the Patriots beat the Rams (The Greatest Show on Turf) in Feb, 2002. Huge underdogs, they overcame the odds and pulled off a HUGE upset.
Well, your G-Men just did the same and I envy you the feeling you have; it's simply the best. A gritty, tough, talented team went out there and got it done. And the latest "greatest show on turf" is heading back to Foxboro, MA empty-handed.
See ya next year...

couldn't agree more
Moss has impressed me so much this year, and his press conference last night was exceptional. I don't know if I ever remember a player maturing as much and as quickly as Moss has over this past year, and I hope he stays in NE and makes a run at some of Rice's records over the next few years. And Bellichick is still the best coach in the NFL in my mind, and no matter what he ever does, he still has 2 Super Bowl rings with the Giants logo on them that they probably wouldn't have won without him (at least 1 of them for sure).

Work?
I liked the Simmons article and I was going to send it to my friends who are Pats fans because he can make them aware how huge this win is for us, but then he ruined it at the end with:
"Finally, can you guess the last thing we heard as we were walking (OK, hustling) out of the stadium right after the final play? That's right, it was the sound of euphoric Giants fans chanting, "Eighteen and one! Eighteen and one! Eighteen and one!" Yes, it's safe to say the Boston-New York rivalry has been taken to new heights. As a tennis umpire would say, "Advantage, New York."
Eighteen and one! Eighteen and one! Eighteen and one!
I can still hear them. I will always hear them."
I definitely don't want them to read that right now!!
