Thread: Wow, the giants won?

I don't follow football, and I haven't watched the superbowl in years, but I just read that the giants won. Maybe it was the pressure, who knows, but I can't believe the Pats didn't win. That's pretty cool for the giants to beat the winningest team in history. I bet they're having on hell of a party

I bet traveller is gutted....

James.

No kidding. After having a perfect season, there's no way I would've put all that money on them...nooooo way.

It was one of the best super bowls in years (I think ) --------but I'm glad the Giants won so Eli Manning could get the monkey off his back and maybe stop living in his brother's shadow ---- good job.

Good for them.....(offcourse I don't follow Football (Or soccer) at ALL but hey. Anyone who works hard deserves to win in my book)

Oh nooooo! Alex, you've just dropped off 1st place in the "thoroughly good bloke I'd like to share a drink with" category. You mean, in a pub situation, you won't be waxing lyrical about van Basten, Gullit, Stam, Bergkamp, Davids, de Boer, Kluivert, van der Sar, van Nistelrooy, and (hush for due respect)... Johann Cruijff?!!?

What would we talk about? Next you'll be telling us you don't drink alcohol!

(Anyone notice how I tried to undermine the whole NFL thing?)

Truly sorry man. You're welcome to come over anytime anyway though.

I live in a country dominated by soccer as well, yet like Alex, I don't care about it at all.
I have a lot of respect for John Cruijf though.

And I do drink alcohol

I think the turning point was when the Pats went for that 13yd 4th down conversion. That's when I said to myself "they're goin' ballistic and the Giants are gonna win," even though they were on top at that point.
They obviously wanted it more and played like it. While Eli deserved the honors, there were plenty of other guys that were just as deserving.

I think the entire Giants front line could have been MVP. It is hard to throw touchdowns from the ground...
