This is bittersweet for me. I dont really like the Patriots so them losing is not that big of a deal for me, and the Giants are an easy to team to root for with Eli and Strahan. However I really wanted to be a part of history and be able to tell my kids that I was able to watch the greatest football team in the history of the NFL(so much for that ). Oh well at least the Giants are a deserving team and they played their asses off, but even though I dont like the Patriots, I really wanted to see the Patriots win this one just for historys sake. How are your feelings towards this?
FREAKIN' ECSTATIC. it's a happy evening in the moestavern/Miguel/finalsbound household. what a ****ing DRIVE at the end...although i was hoping the pats would tie it at 17 so plaxico could catch the game winning TD for a 23-17 win in OT. (this is fb btw)
Im not really the hater type of person so I dont get too much satisfaction from other people losing except for when its the Dallas Mavericks(Burn Cuban Burn). Honestly i feel bad for teams when they are a HUGE favorite and they lose.
You can tell your kids you watched the greatest upset in the history of NFL! Hell ya i wanted to see the Pats lose! They are surely the most deserving of this!
hahaha are all miguel and moes roomies? And yeah this was a great superbowl/last drive. Patriots always manage to produce a great superbowl.
Yes and no. I wanted them to lose but part of me wanted to see history made. Sort of like the fact that only one 6th seed has ever won the NBA championship....(We may all be rooting for that number to go up this year.). So, I am mediocrly happy. DD
What's a bigger choke, Mavs v. Warriors or Pats v. G-Men? That's a tough one. Pats: Ruined their "pursuit of perfection," lost in the SuperBowl, lost on a last drive so that makes it more heartbreaking! Mavs: first #1 to lose to #8 in 7 game series, had the best regular season record, they were basically embarrassed! Both: were crowned champs before the playoffs, both lost to teams that barely made it into the playoffs One thing to think about that might make the Mavs lose worst: The NFL is a one-game playoff. Any one team could be better than another in one game, but the NBA is made to ensure the "better" team gets an upper hand! L Either way, both bring me great joy! I hate both teams and I love the fact that both lost!
I am happy because I hate Brady. I also don't like the Giants, but they were the lesser of two evils. I mostly don't care about pro football at all, and I watched puppy bowl IV on Animal Planet rather than watch the Super Bowl. I like the college game, but can't stand the NFL. Though I'm a Vince Only fan, so that has kept me slightly interested.
I'm happier than you can imagine! If I could have written a script on how the Patriots season would end, this was it. A crushing, last-second loss in the Super Bowl to a team nearly everyone thought they would crush.
150 reasons I am actually sad that the Patriots didn't win by 13 or more. But if they weren't gonna cover..I am just as happy to see em lose. Smug, cheating sumbys.
Nope. But I'm happy I watched an incredible end to one of the best Super Bowls in recent history. I've probably lost interest by the 3rd quarter of most Super Bowls in the past 15 years. And I did enjoy watching Belicheck have to eat it hard. On the next episode of Cheaters... I know many like to see the best teams fall, but I'm over that phase. I was hoping to witness history, but the Giants showed the Patriots don't deserve it so I'm not disappointed at all.
You get to tell your kids that you saw Manning-to-Tyree, which will be replayed weekly until the end of ESPN.
I don't get the "want to see history made" attitude. This is what sports is all about. This is why the games are played...and all that other sports cliches. The Pats are an easy team to root against even if they were going for history. I don't get that sense of aura either on the Pats like the Montana 49ers. Also the Pats looked beatable when the season was winding down, they weren't dominating like they were in the beginning of the season.
