The best Super Bowl of all-time

It doesn't matter who you are, who you fought for, whose side you were on. This was the most incredible Super Bowl of all time. The only wild-card team ever to make it to the Super Bowl fighting against the team that was ready to take the crown as the best team ever. I haven't been into a game like this in probably 10 years. Congratulations to the Giants.

I agree. I hate the Giants, but they played very well, especially on D. Congrats to the Giants and all you Giants fans.

Great football game. One of the best games I have seen. BTW They are not the only team to be a wild-card to get to and win the super bowl the steelers did it in 2005 as well as a couple others.

There was a football game on?

I'm not even a football fan and still loved that game.

I didn't find it very entertaining at all until the last like 3 minutes or so.

Amazing game. I believe they are the #5 wild card team to win (or maybe it's get there?).

It was weird to see NE completely shut down to a friggin check down passing team. However, they still forced a team to come back with a TD in the final minutes. If anyone watched the postgame coverage, they are very gracious with compliments to the Giants. I wish I could say that for Bill who left early.

Also, I am sorry to the NE fans but more cheating shit is starting to surface...

Complete lack of respect from Belichek altough it doesnt really suprise me. Best team ever my ass. Best team to not come through. They got lucky alot in the end of season several times it was only a matter of time time that Lady Luck was gonna take a hike. Im glad they lost. At least now I feel better that Dallas lost to the Champions not the runners up in the playoffs the Giants were just that tough at the end of the year. BTW, must suck to be Tiki Barber right now. Looks like they werent all he said they were and they were better off without him.

The post game interview with him definitely showed that as well...he couldn't even give credit to the Giants for winning that game and outplaying the Patriots...what a fucking scumbag.

Gonna have to agree that Belichek is a douche, but hey, the Giants won so he can bite it.

Awful feeling to be Barber. I take back what I said about Eli. I just can't believe how smooh he has been. It's really really weird.

It's bitter sweet to watch the Cowboys mourn as they thought they should be there. How sweet that is!

On more than one occasion this year, Bill Belichick and the Patriots have run up the score on an overmatched opponent, and forced an opposing coach to sit there and watch his beaten team go through the motions while their heineys were being handed to them.

But when the shoe's on the other foot, and Bill Belichick's team has been beaten, he can't sit there and take the pain for a few seconds.

With :01 left on the clock, and his team just having failed on a last chance 4th down effort, Bill Belichick ran onto the field for a quick handshake, and then bolted for the locker room. Belichick's an important guy and everything, but I wasn't aware that the league had given him the authority to decide when games end.

There's time left on the clock, his team's been humbled, outplayed, and lost their chance at history ... and Bill Belichick doesn't have the stomach to sit there and absorb the pain until the clock read 0:00.

That's unsportsmanlike at best, disrespectful at least, and at worst, it makes him a big sissy.

Because Bill Belichick wanted to go hide when he lost, the field ended up being flooded with people, and the officials had to clear the area before the Giants could take their final snap and make it official. When you lose, you take your loss. You don't leave early because it makes you feel sad inside. Your opponent deserves more respect than that.

Anyone remember in 2004 when Randy Moss left the sidelines with two seconds left in a Vikings vs. Redskins game? Moss was selfish, a baby, a quitter, didn't respect his teammates, and didn't respect the game. Belichick just did the same thing, but did it on the biggest possible stage, and did it from the position of a leader of men.

Maybe there's something to be said for the inability to lose well ... most great winners don't lose well, and a sore loser is still a loser.

But still, if you're an adult, you finish out the game, and you give your opponents the stage and the respect they deserve.

I really wish some one asked Tom Brady about feeling lowballed on Burress's prediction of them only scoring 17 points which seem generous now. Is Tom Brady Laughing at Plaxico Burress' Prediction Now? - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog
