It had to have been the best game I've ever seen. Football or otherwise. I don't want to gloat...oh hell, of I do. I said, from WAAAAAY back, that the Pats won't go undefeated. They had too much karma going against them. The whole spygate thing, I could understand, that was just routine cheating, like they say, if you're not cheating, you're not trying hard enough. I could take that. But the whole running up the score thing early in the season? That was unacceptable. They didn't show any sportsmanship the whole season, and tonight, the biggest football game of the whole season, or last 10 seasons for that matter. They paid for it. There was just no way the universe was going to let them win. NO WAY.
If you saw the last drive by the Giants you'd know what I'm talking about. It was absolutely magical. Manning looked like he was about to be sacked and the Patriots would walk away undefeated, but he somehow manages to get away from what looked like the entire Patriots team to throw that pass, that you knew just HAD to be caught. This is the kind of sporting moment that you'll remember where you were when you saw it. For me, the only other one that I can think of now that comes close was Zidane's headbutt. But honestly, I feel sorry for you if you didn't see it.
And as for the last few New England tries? Those long bombs that would normally be caught with some insane atheletics on Moss's part just fell short, like you knew it would. Because yesterday, the team that deserve to win the superbowl did, and all the bad karma the Pat's collected over the season came and smacked them in the face.
