CongratuSuperbowlations to the Giants

I think I started to pick up the basics by the end! Although I was baffled when he didn't want to score the touchdown near the end!

That was strategy. They wanted to run down the clock more so not to let the Patriots have another chance to score. But in the end it didn't matter, as the Patriots were not able to use the time to make a touchdown. Congrats Giants!

Bill Belichick hurt his own cause as well by challenging the catch made by Manningham...he lost the challenge and it cost him a time out. If they had the time out, they could've tried to stop NY from scoring a TD and held them to a fieldgoal (not guaranteed this New England defense could've done that) and still had plenty of time on the clock

I agree with you about the commercials - the funny thing is when I saw the full version of the Ferris Bueller commercial on Youtube, I thought it was great...However, they edited the snot out of it during the game and it just came off as some disjointed baloney
-
I paused the game on DVR ..... I didn't delay it as much as usual .... so I had to be more selective this time .... roughly 4 million dollars for a commercial spot ..... so I zap 4 million dollars, zap 4 more million ... zap another 4 million dollars .... I just zapped through 12 million dollars of commercials (without having to see them) ....and the game continues

I only watched a few commercials One did make me laugh (briefly) http://thefw.com/coke-delivery-man-cheats-in-pepsi-maxs-super-bowl-2012-commercial-video/

A Giants parade FAIL
-
That's where the phrase "Dumb Blonde" comes from...... I was there....had an awesome time. Fans were wild! My family went to the celebration at MetLife.....it was wild there too. Thank you Giants!

No Football this weekend ..... now what?!
-
I hear ya......though football is my favorite, I do enjoy hockey "Let's go Rangers"

Wow....some good excitment despite it being deep into the offseason...Peyton Manning to the Broncos, Tim Tebow to the Jets (which was already a circus before this Tebow thing) and the NO Saints got absolutely hammered with sanctions for having put bounties out on opposing players with the intent of causing injury (after being warned for three years to knock it off)...The entire coaching staff got suspended to some degree (head coach Sean Peyton got one year), there were draft picks lost as well as a hefty fine....and they're not done yet, word is announcement on player suspensions is coming forward soon

I like Tebow too.....have no problem with him. It is just that he is being treated like the next God (pardon the pun) Alot of hoopla for a back-up quarterback.
