Super Bowl 42 (aftermath)

Feb 4 2008

Well everyone I blew the call, lol, not even close in the score of the game. Who would have thought that the game would have been such a defencive struggle for 3 quarters of the game. The only consolation I have is that the giants pretty well did what I said they had to do to keep the game close. They did that and actually won the game 17-14.
The game was Eli Manning’s coming out party for sure because he played one hell of a game and was totally deserving of MVP honors. Dad and big brother were there for him and he sure didn’t disappoint. He did have two turnovers but they were not his fault, he got the ball into his receiver and running backs hands but they could not hold onto it. The giants defence gets full marks for shutting down the high powdered New England offence, and the two turnovers for New York did not come back to bite them in the behind. If someone would have bet in Vegas that the giants would have held the patriots to 14 points they would be a wealth person today. I kind of feel sorry for Tom Brady though, it was to bad he pick the biggest game of the year to become mortal and he and his whole offence played rather ordinary. Honerable mention should go to Wes Welker WR, who I thought was the best player for the patiots.
On a side note you speaking of Vegas, where you can bet on anything to do with the game. There was an over under bet of 6 as to how many times Peyton Manning’s face would appear on camera. I think the camera man and the producer bet the over because I counted about 10 times that his mug was on the screen.
So there you have it, my prediction was way off and I think everone was surprised by the out come. But hey that’s why they have to actually play the game. So the New England Patriots, the best team ever to not have won the super bowl. That’s it for now.
