OK, It's half-time. Here's your chance to call the game. What's your prediction.
I say tha Pat's will win by 12 pts.

Well that didn't work out so good for the Pats. Gotta give the Giants D credit for that one.

Fox is 720P.
Great game. I liked the TP halftime. Great PQ throughout. Nice upset. (good crowd here... great food...)

Bummer. I didn't see THAT coming! My prediction was it was going to be a low scoring close game but it would be NE by 3. It looked like they were going to pull it off at one point. That one play by Manning where he broke loose from what sure looked like a sack only to slither out and launch a bomb for the reception was nothing short of amazing.
I can understand Belichek's frustration at losing but IMO walking off the field while the game was still officially in play was childish and unprofessional. Instead of being remember for an 18-0 season, he'll be remembered for not just losing the championship, but arguably more damaging, his last act on the field of battle. Tsk tsk.

Best play of the entire season by any team... especially since it kept alive the winning drive of the Super Bowl, upsetting a rival's perfect season.

I don't know...walking off at that point was expected. NFL should have ran the clock down and let the celebration continue.
Good picture throughout but the closeups looked far better on my display. The far view tore apart my convergence.

No, we learned a few years ago that we have a much better view of the game at home instead of at the stadium. Better food and better beer, too.

Well piss me off. I missed the last ten munutes of the game. I'm on call tonight and had a emergency call. I just got back at 11:25. Oh well, you can't have everything.

Giants wanted it the most. Thought Manning was more determined and the break out play showed it. Great game, really a great defense also. Doug

I thought the superbowl ads were very disappointing.
The tide commercial with the talking stain was my favorite with the Bud "Rocky Theme" commercial in second.

excellent game for sure.
This year, up here in canada, we didn't get to see the US commercial like last year in HD. I don't know how many stupid Nissan commercials we saw.

I liked the two etrade commercials with the baby explaining his stock strategies. Those were pretty funny.

I live in an NFL free house so the game was not on. Phuq the cheatin SOBs. Don't watch wrestling either.
I was in Austin in November and December. I was at my son-in-laws watering hole with him when the squares came around. He put us on a square. He called me last night and asked if I knew who won the game. I told him I was watching Tiger win Dubai. He said I would be happy to know the Giants in an upset. This pleased me immensely. He then asked if I remembered the square. I said yes. He said we had P7 G3 and won 2 quarters. He said we missed 3 quarters by 3 inches and 2 seconds. What should I buy, new clubs, MP mods, 9500, or just give it to the wife?

Walt, the score was P7-G3 for the 3rd qtr, too.

How much was the square? The $10 square here ($1000 total) pays $200 for 1Q, $200 Halftime, $200 3Q, $400 Final
Or you could do a $20 square with $500/500/500/500.
