Super Bowl Wrap Up

Fans of the Patriots may want to skip this entry.

The Giants beat the Patriots! The Giants beat the Patriots!

I am by no means a Giants fan, but I’ll cheer on any team playing the Patriots. Along with a good portion of the nation (Michigan and a few New England states had more Patriot fans; all other states had more people supporting the Giants), I wanted to see the Patriots go down. I think that, one day, a team will run the table, but I don’t think this should’ve been that team given the possibility that they might have cheated. They may be vindicated in the future, but, right now, they have a major case of bad PR.

Anyway, the game was fantastic. I like seeing close games and good defense, and this game had both. Aside from the first quarter where both defenses looked shaky, the game was a stop after a stop. It was close to the end, and now the Giants can celebrate.

The end of the game brings up one more question. I wasn’t able to see what happened after time ran out, but the last thing I saw was Bill Bellichek leaving the field before Eli Manning kneeled down to run out the one second left on the clock. If he returned, great. If not, it has to be one of the more classless things I’ve seen. Your team lost in a good, close game. Stick around and give your opponents their due.

Oh, and Giants beat the Patriots!
