John Elway's helicopter run vs. the Packers?

This reminds me of the 1991 UNLV basketball team, who finished the season 34-1.

EagleFan · 02-03-2008, 09:18 PM

One play made me a Giants fan. That last touchdown, or to be more precise, the extra point after that last touchdown.

Yay Super Bowl block pool!!!!

This one required Manning to evade, what was it, four guys? Stay on his feet, regain his balance, and then take the shot downfield, and then *Tyree* had to catch the ball and hang onto it on his way down. It needed near-perfection on both ends of the ball to make it happen.

imo manning made a great play to evade the tackes of 4 guys, but made a stupid throw that got lucky to be caught. but still one of the greatest plays in SB history.

What an awesome, awesome Super Bowl and I'm thrilled the Giants won to keep '72 perfect.

Scary moment for me, though, as I blacked out for the first time in about 5 years.

Blacked out just after Bellichek started walking on the field at the 1 second mark and came to when Eli was holding the trophy I think.

Galaril · 02-03-2008, 09:18 PM

Wow, downtown Boston had a big rally in Kenmore square to watch the game and all I can say there have got to be a lot of pissed off drunk Pats fans out on the streets tonight. I wouldn't want to be Boston cop tonight.

Agreed, easily a top 10 SB moment. Both the escape and the catch were pretty unbelievable.

You blacked out because you've been drinking?

But I'd still put 3-4 (non-Pats) teams ahead of them. It sucks that we couldn't shut them up forever tonight.

Karlifornia · 02-03-2008, 09:21 PM

AHAHAHHAHAHAH...fuck you. Patriots...I'm glad you will forever be remembered as cheating pretenders...Your coach proved his childishness until the end...running for the tunnel like a spoiled child who didn't get his candy bar.

The wheel of time will forget asshole, cheater Belichick, quitter Moss, and the annoying fans of Boston.

Hail the New York Giants.

YABR? Yet Another Brady Record? How about....IHNBHTSTMDRACG.....I have never been happier to see the miami dolphins raise a champage glass...

And Justin Tuck would have been a good choice for MVP

Back to back Super Bowl MVP brother QBs is pretty wild when you think about. I'm hoping for a Colts-Giants SB matchup soon.

Still a great year and remember Boston will always be Red Sox country we will kick the Yankees asses in retailation.

Thanks Galaril. I've been biting my tounge, because this is the Giants moment. They had to pull off an amazing thing and they did. Congratulations.

Now when do pitchers and catchers report?

Yeah, I used to get them once a year during the springtime a while back. EEGs came back negative so they attributed it to a circulation problem.

I'm one of the more obnoxious pats fans at FOFC, and I actually agree with this. I......Like the Giants. Always have. And I've lived and spent a lot of time in NYC, and am pretty psyched for the Giants fans there. Anything but the Colts.

I'm sick with the flu, watching this game on the sofa with my newish gf who doesn't know football very well. She is watching it to be nice. She got up & yelled...I'm so proud of her.

After the game I told her she had seen one of the best Super Bowls in history, if not the best.

k0ruptr · 02-03-2008, 09:27 PM

grats to the patriots, i still think they had the best season ever. but just couldn't get it done in the SB.

DT, I think you're cool....but Belichick proved himself more classless than anyone in this meaningless thread...he ran off the field before the final whistle....IN THE SUPER BOWL

Marcus Allen's run
Montana to Taylor

As a Cowboys fan, our Super Bowl wins haven't had many great plays. Some plays I'll never forget from their appearances:

O'Brien's game-winning FG
Lily's 25 yard sack of Griese
Jackie Smith's drop
Lett and Beebe
