A Super Bowl for the Ages
My football fandom began after Super Bowl III, when the disrespected, underdog New York Jets established parity between the NFL and AFL by beating the unbeatable Baltimore Colts. After about twenty more, I kind of quit paying much attention. I almost did not watch tonight, but something told me that no matter how it turned out, it would be extraordinary: the second perfect season in my lifetime, or the greatest upset since that other team from New York took it to the Colts.
I saw the latter. Congratulations to all you New Yorkers out there, wherever you might be.
And to the New England fans (well, except for the infamous J.W., who represents the Boston Young Jerk hanging himself in effigy right now) -- no matter how it ended up, that was the greatest team I ever saw.
ugh... it's taken a Pats loss to remind me how much I miss baseball.

Hi, Michael!
Growing up as a die-hard Yankee fan, I was always [also] a NY Football Giants fan...The Giants played in Yankee Stadium back then!...
I was rooting for the Giants to win, but in reality did not think they would win...That's the same way I felt when they played Dallas, and Green Bay...The Giants proved everybody wrong by winning it all!
11 straight road wins, [4 in the playoffs]...records that will be hard to beat!
"Do I Believe In Miracles" - Yes I Do!!!
Congratulations "Big Blue"
Maybe this will be the start of the end of the recent Boston winning streak vs. New York teams. But, when the Yankees beat out the Red Sox to win the American League Championship [and World Series] in 2008, it will not be because of a miracle...It will be because the Yankees are the better team!

I can honestly say I called before the game started. My friends made fun of me. I put on my one friends blog that they would win and was immediately mocked. Who's laughing now??? Hahah

Jimmy,
I'm honored I was the first commenter on your blog. Look forward to many more!
Joe,
Good call. Having watched the Giants through the postseason, I suspected. But I didn't call it.
What a great freaking game!

Greatest Game I've Ever Seen. Period.
I don't know if I'm happier about the Giants winning or the Patriots losing... haha.
