Well the Giants won... Oh well. As I've said to just about everyone, the Patriots aren't my team, that I simply felt that they deserved it more. Felt like the Patriots played a harder regular season schedule and showed the ultimate meaning of consistancy by going unbeaten. Giants fans seem to still being going one about this "Joes vs Pros" thing... or "Perfect vs Imperfect". I find myself asking what if the Patriots would have won? Would Giants fans play the "well we were the underdog so we weren't suppose to win anyway" card? I'd be willing to say yes, 99% of them probably would. Now it seems the Giants winning shows some sort of meaning of life? I guess. "You don't have to be perfect to win, imperfect can win too." I honestly don't think nor feel thats what football is about. Its about hard work and preparation. About heart and 60 minutes of team work. Its not some sort of key to unlock one of lifes mysteries.... Atleast not that one, in my opinion of course.

Not here to bash the Giants.. they played better today. I don't think the Patriots Superbowl loss makes them any less of a great team though. They will still go down as one of the best ever in NFL history. Thats the way the ball bounces though.. It was a tough game and a tough loss but theres always next season. We will see what it brings next year...

I'm happy for the winners, but my team is an NFC rival, so I am happy to a point. :p I do wonder "What if...". I don't think this unbeaten season will be repeated anytime soon.
