Super Bowl Live Blog: Counting Down to a Minute

-4th Down ELI!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

-God I hate Amani Toomer....

-Will: "I don't like this. The clock's messed up (Fox's game clock was having issues), Eli looks calm and is making decisions, they've got the ball last...damn..."

-This would be the point in which the entire room stood up and shouted "OH F$%K, HOLY S*$T, and death threats to Eli Manning....you can probably assume when that moment was...

-Plaxico Burress TD...Ellis Hobbs fell down, which to lighten our moods, we re-enact but to no avail...

-Tom Brady with 30 seconds......1 pass.....sacked.....two misses to Randy

-silence

-Belichick running

-silence

-Belichick shaking hands

-silence...."Oh God....the Giants are world champs........"

    I lost track of Will at this point....it turned out he was slumped behind the couch in his Randy jersey....he hasn't had an easy year at all (if you're familiar with the CFL...he's a Bombers fan...)....this is about the same kind of numb I felt after the Rockies ousted the Padres in October...the entire season is a waste....Welker's record means nothing.....Eli Manning is the MVP?!?!

    And with that, I went to bed. I just couldn't stand it. Even today, I was forced to sit through Giants bandwagon jumpers talk about how Eli is "so great". Give me a break.

    I have a question though: I know the Pats can't have a dynasty with an 18-1, no Super Bowl victory season, but is the Manning family a dynasty now? Two champions, two MVPs, two years straight? I feel really really dirty right now.

In closing on the Pats: I can't really fault the defense. They kept them in it for three quarters, and held the lead at 7-3 for three quarters. Yes Asante Samuel dropped an INT on the sideline, and yes Ellis Hobbs did fall down, and while I'm mad at the Pats-the defense did all they could. I want to know if Brady is hurt more than he's letting on though, because the offense BLEW. Seriously, over-throwing receivers, under-throwing receivers....Brady didn't look right, and neither did his offensive line. In the end they lose as a team though, but I would've loved to have the offense show up.

In closing on the Giants: I love how David Tyree is "the man" now. I guess if you catch a ball with your face-mask in the biggest game of your career, you'll be a 95 in Madden next year, as well as the cover-athlete (I don't think I'm being sarcastic). The Giants did play a better game though, and took advantage (eventually) of a team that came out extremely flat. Someone has to win and someone has to lose though, and the better team won, previous records aside.

One note I'd like to add: Please stop the "it was us against the world" sentiment. I know they were underdogs and they were playing an undefeated team, but there were a suprising amount of people behind you guys to win it. You're discrediting yourselves by thinking otherwise.

    Anyways, at least this Super Bowl was one you'll WANT to tell your kids about.
