Super Bowl XLII (42)

Wow! What a great Super Bowl. You actually had to watch all the way to the end. It helps that I was rooting for the Giants and Eli Manning, I mean who wouldn't root for little brother? I really like the Mannings. They seem like the epitome of America and American values. The importance of hard work and family.

And of course, the Super Bowl, $3 million dollar ads. The dancing lizards, Doritos mouse, and talking baby topped my list of favorites.





And last and probably least, the game itself was very good. The Giants outplayed the Patriots, showed better preparation (guess Belichek couldn't get a camera into the Giants practice), more desire and heart, and all around better effort. I knew, I really did, that Randy Moss was not going to work for the Patriots. And he showed it... yes of course, he scored the go ahead touchdown with 4 minutes to go, but Randy was Randy for most of the game, not running his routes, alligator-arming passes thrown his way and invisible for 3/4's of the game.

And then you have your unlikely hero. David Tyree making the spectacular helmet catch of Mannings desperation throw with a minute to go in the game will go down in Super Bowl history.
