I continue to dislike the Patriots whether or not the internet thinks my reasons are valid!
I know nothing about football, but I have heard of exactly what 25th is talking about. Many people in CT hate the Patriots for this reason.
I dono why everyone loves Eli Manning so much. I don't know anything about him, but by 5 minutes into the game he seemed like an arrogant little prick to me and only got much worse as the game went on. I have a strange desire to kick him in the face.
I think it's great when any one beats the evil empire!
26 > 7
Actually most NYers hated Eli, but thats a very typical NY thing. I am a big Yankee fan but every hardcore Yankee will rip on every player, until they do good. Seems to be more of a NY thing than anything. All season long Giants fans seemed to hate Manning, yet in the post season he stepped up and really played well. Now the NYers seem to love him. Everyone in my family (other than immediate family) is a die hard NY fan (all NY teams) and they all follow this stereotype.
Josh, you just described Brady to me. Manning never seemed cocky to me, but watch the interview with Brady before the game. He laughed at a predicition of them only scoring 17 points and losing. He seemed real cocky, with the "yeahh, right Im Tom Brady and we are the Patriots" attitude, and in the end they didn't even get to 17 points. Must make him feel real good to see that video all over the place now!

I hope lil Elisha Manning's career is short. He and his brother should get hurt on the field.
Haha I laugh because I don't like sports that do involve cars. Most sports I would much rather be playing than watching, but if it's an excuse to get me and my friends together to eat, drink and celebrate, then we do it.
Not sure why 90% of the internet complains, and moans or simply dislikes the Superbowl and everything attached to it. Do these people really live such sheltered lives that all they can do is complain about things that should be fun or entertainment?
PATS ROCK
For anyone who thinks different its only cause you hate them. They are a awesome team. Simply amazing is the way to put it. The only other team i like better is the Minnesota Vikings which the Pats beat all of the Vikings records. Funny thing is Moss was on both of those record setting teams. And to justify the pats loss. The Giants did get lucky, the Pats offesive line fell apart. Had they been able to give Brady the time he needed. You guys would have seen a totally different game. Something along the lines of 35 - 17 PATS.
For everybody who says the Pats suck, Sorry but your wrong. They are a great team. And as far as the Miami goes. The Pats were way better, they just didn't clinch the final game which puts them down a rank. So YES. The Giants and Miami both got lucky. Tom is an awesome 1/4 back and he'll rise next year again. I'll bet my Mustang says the Giants don't make playoffs next year. You can write that down as well...
To sum it up....
BRADY + MOSS = AWESOME PATS! FTW
Yawn, excuses, excuses. You LOST get over it, the parade is in New York this year
Location check, k it works
Die-hard Patriots fan here. Always have been always will be.
The Pats were outplayed by the Giants for the entire game. This kept the game close, giving the Giants the chance to score on their final 2 minute drive. Any fan who doesn't admit that the Giants were LUCKY is delusional!!
Asante Samuel misses the very likely interception that Eli throws a couple of every game?! Luck. Eli escapes a near gang-rape by the Pats defense!? Luck. He is just not that good. David Tyree catches that 28 yard pass, way over his head, by crushing the ball against his helmet while All-Pro safety Rodney Harrison mauls him?! Luck. Harrison successfully defends that pass 9 out of 10 times. The lob pass on the fade route to Plaxico Burress, that was not luck. That was a 6'5" top 10 NFL receiver against a 5'9" highly overrated CB, in Ellis Hobbs, with no help. Hey, luck is a part of the game, just as much as good execution. That is how the Pats beat the Colts, Eagles, and Ravens this year; good execution and bit of luck. Hell Belichick made A LOT of bad decisions to include: no field goal at 4th and 13. No 'Power Run' 3 tight end package that would have cut the Giants throat. Not going for the field goal the final 30 seconds etc. I could go on and on. Congratulation to the Giants and their fans, they deserved to win, they played better. It may be trite and cliche' but the better team does not always win, the team who plays better wins. The Patriots are the better team, but they were outplayed on this given Sunday.
ps. The Giants did a good job beating Dallas, Beating Green Bay was LUCK. Brett Favre gave them that game, which they kept close, tied at the end, by throwing one of his trademark interceptions in OT. Let's see what the Giants do next year...
