That is why you play the game!! I have no vested interest in either the New England Patriots or the New York Giants. I hoped I would see a good game and not a Patriots blowout as many predicted. I thought the Giants could give the Patriots a game but I didn't think I would see the best Super Bowl ever. So many thoughts after watching this one.
Where esle would I go for my sports info? TMZ.com of course! Kidding. But can you imagine the panic that went through the fan base of the New England Patriots when they saw the picture of Tom Brady in a walking boot in the Boston Globe today? (There is footage on TMZ.com also)

Just a heads up to the Patriots organization. All you'll be asked about is this picutre for the next week and a half.

I couldn’t help but be struck by the difference in two winning teams in the NFL Playoffs this weekend. The Green Bay Packers, after spotting my beloved Seahawks 14 points in the early going – rode a wave of emotion (primarily generated by Brett Favre) and basically kicked the ‘Hawks butts all over the field for the rest of the game.
