It isn't instantaneous.

[Droford]

lol Bif from the late show got to touch the lombardi trophy..haha

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah. That and the play during that Giants 12 men on the field penalty running time off pretty much ended it.

[Innovator]

Rex Ryan, take note, this is when you're supposed to talk.

[Innovator]

ELI MVP

[owenbrown]

congrats to a 9-7 team in a shitty division winning the Super Bowl

[Droford]

Does Coughlin retire? Lots of speculation on that if he won.

[James Steele]

congrats to a 9-7 team in a shitty division winning the Super Bowl

It was a top-heavy division. :shifty:

[James Steele]

STILL NOT BETTER THAN PEYTON!

[El Fangel]

HAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAH I called a 22-17 win. Was as close as I was going to get.

[Evil Vito]

I love you all. I know I get pessimistic when things go bad, I can't help it. I get it from watching Giants games with my dad my entire life. It makes victory so much sweeter.

[owenbrown]

It was a top-heavy division. :shifty:

Cowboys should have won the division or the Eagles if Ron Mexico wasn't hurt

[Innovator]

Steve Young calling for a yellow jacket for Eli

[owenbrown]

well that didn't take long for ESPN to suck Eli's dick

[Gonzo]

GIANTS BABY

[Droford]

outside of the game vs the Broncos, Tom Brady had a really awful playoffs.

[Gonzo]

Good game. Couldn't ask for anything better. Hats off to both teams.

[MVP]

Congrats G-Men fans. They were the better team.

[Evil Vito]

Lol @ some people thinking the Giants' win is somehow diminished because of their 9-7 record. I'll be sure to cry into my SB46 champions shirt tomorrow about that.

Incredible game.

[Innovator]

Thanksgiving just got better for Eli

You only come in here to bitch.

[Innovator]

I want to congratulate owenbrown on being the biggest stereotype of an internet poster.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Maybe the Giants.

NAILED IT

[El Fangel]

I want to congratulate owenbrown on being the biggest stereotype of an internet poster.

lol

[owenbrown]

lol you would think I am trying to out-Droford Droford? not possible

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Congrats to the Giants for winning, but 12 men on the field during a Hail Mary pass? Why don't you just have 12 men on the field every close play and it's only a 5 yard penalty. Should have a 10-second add on rule for that type of penalty.

[Droford]

Which one of these games is the Thursday night opener for the Giants?

Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers.

If Peyton goes to Washington, my bet would be that game. Otherwise its probably the Packers

[McLegend]

I will be a hater, and say The Giants are the luckiest team ever.

Bastards.

[Gonzo]

How about the 12 men on the field when the Giants were in the red zone?

Christ.

[Droford]

on the road:
Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers.

Thats also a pretty brutal schedule for the Giants, all together.

[Evil Vito]

Yeah next year can be rough, but who knows. Hopefully we can get another good draft class. Giants :love:

The would have effectively gotten that had the clock run out since the game cant end on a defensive penalty.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Droford occasionally talks about football. You only come in here to bitch.

That means you are worse.

[Triple Naitch]

Always had a soft spot for the Giants because they were my dad's team. :'( Really happy to see them win.

[Droford]

damn you coughlin for bringing up Cundiff again

Congrats to all The Giants Fans on the win. That was a great game.

[D Mac]

Yeah it was Aight.

[Skippord]

pretty glad the Giants won, wanted to kill myself when they showed Bob Kraft watching the Hail Mary.

:'(

[Skippord]

http://www.boston.com/sports/columnists/wilbur/2012/02/not_so_safety_c.html


probably should revoke whoever wrote this' computer

[Supreme Olajuwon]

ahahaha that's adorable

he's so mad

[Skippord]

I think owenbrown may have written that

[McLegend]

Is he aware that Brady completed a Super Bowl record 16 straight passes?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah even as a Giants fan that shot of Kraft standing alone in the box watching the Giants celebrate was unbelievably depressing. Wish NBC didn't show it.

I think I'd finally be okay with the Pats winning another ring should they get it next year or something. The Giants pretty much have the one-up on them for life so whatevs.</font>

[RoXer]

Is Guru Dave deleting posts in here too?

Who the fuck is deleting posts

I'm gunna go call the DPP

I STILL WANNA KNOW!!!

Supreme? AAA? Hasney? Someone look into this!

It's very serious!

My g*d

[Innovator]

Has owenbrown ever shown his allegiance or does he just complain?

[El Fangel]

This guy at work lost a bet on the Superbowl. That if the Giants won, he had to wear their jersey but if they won after trailing going into the 4th he had to cut up his Brady jersey.

Kudos for holding to his word.

[screech]

Amazing game.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Reading reactions on Patriots boards is hilarious. They simply can't admit defeat. "Luck! It's all dumb luck!" and "Eli still isn't elite and never will be!" etc.

It's hilarious. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion...theirs just happens to be incorrect.</font>

[screech]

Posted on Facebook "If you don't see Eli as a top tier QB now, you never will."

Eagles fan: "What did Eli do great tonight or even last week?"

Same fan: "...to insinuate that Eli is a top tier QB from this performance is absurd."

[Emperor Smeat]

Eli earned his elite tag but there was also a good amount of luck as well last night concerning all those missed fumble opportunities by the Patriots.

I was disappointed the most in the 4th because for three quarters the Pats O-line held up well and then just started to collapse badly while Brady was pressured on almost every play.

[James Steele]

Eli Manning has become one of the best QBs in the league, but he is not better than Peyton Manning.

My Giants celebrating the victory on the plane ride home!

[The Gold Standard]

I am still pumped about last night. I think I spent about $150 on Superbowl Champions Gear.

[Innovator]

Definitely getting the shirt, grabbing one for the wife too probably.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Got the shirt and the hat today. Whenever the DVD of the full playoff games comes out I'm gonna get that too.</font>

[Team Sheep]

Congrats Giants. I don't know how they did it after 2009, 2010 and majority of this season, but fair play to them. Amazing story.

[Nark Order]

I don't think saying the Giants were lucky this season really takes away from their Superbowl win. Seems like most Giants fans either deny it or take it as an insult. I would've taken some luck in that NFC Championship game and not even felt bad about it. The Giants did have lady luck on their side this season for sure.

[Triple Naitch]

Droford stat of the day: Eli Manning only has one less Super Bowl ring than Tom Brady.

[RaginRonic]

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/06/super-bowl-draws-record-111-3-million-viewers

Super Bowl XLVI was the most-watched television program in American history.

Sunday night’s game averaged 111.3 million viewers to break the record set by last year’s Super Bowl, which had 111.0 million viewers. Although the game’s overnight rating was very slightly down from last year, the total audience was slightly up from last year.

The 1983 M*A*S*H series finale had long stood as the only television show in American history to draw more than 100 million viewers, but all of the last three Super Bowls have topped M*A*S*H.

Sunday night’s audience steadily grew as it went on, with 117.7 million viewers for the final half hour of the game, when the Giants were marching down the field for their game-winning touchdown, followed by the Patriots’ last-gasp Hail Mary falling incomplete.

[Crimson]

Cant believe people are blaming Brady for that Welker pass..totally catchable

[Gonzo]

I don't care what anyone says or thinks about Eli. It honestly makes no difference to me. If people don't want to consider him elite that's fine. I'll take him and the two Superbowl championships any day of the week. In fact I think typing this post has made me love the hate. Preach on haters. Preach on.

[Crimson]

Scary thing is, both teams should get better next year

[Gonzo]

The Giants have a bunch of guys that are at the end of their contract. I think a good portion of them will be packing their bags. Vito said in the offseason thread that he thinks there is going to be a bunch of FA departures like after the 2007 season and I have to agree. Next year will depend heavily on how well the Giants draft this year.

[Evil Vito]

I don't think saying the Giants were lucky this season really takes away from their Superbowl win. Seems like most Giants fans either deny it or take it as an insult. I would've taken some luck in that NFC Championship game and not even felt bad about it. The Giants did have lady luck on their side this season for sure.

<font color=goldenrod>Of course they had some luck at times...most teams do throughout the course of the season. But Pats fans simply aren't willing to give any credit to the team and feel that EVERYTHING they did was lucky. Guess they can't handle the fact that Eli put together a perfect game-winning drive against them yet again.

The Giants won and, until next season starts, they are the best team in football.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Also another hilarious thing the Pats fans are bitching about. Steve DeOssie (former Giant, dad of Giants long snapper Zak DeOssie) does a lot of TV work for the Boston sports networks. He was seen at a Giants pre-SB rally last night talking about how the Giants were going to win and kick the Pats' asses, etc. while wearing his son's jersey.

They're all calling for him to be fired. :lol: For an area that's won 7 titles in the recent past they do seem to be an angry bunch.</font>

[Droford]

Droford stat of the day: Eli Manning only has one less Super Bowl ring than Tom Brady.

I'll go ahead and bite and say that Eli gets to 3 before Brady gets to 4.

[McLegend]

I have a feeling that Kurt Warner doesn't like Eli Manning.

[McLegend]

I am going to put that last post in the new NFL thread.

[The Fraze]

This whole "Bradying" thing is laughable. The guy's got 3 Super Bowl rings. What's Tebow got? I mean, besides Jesus?

Congrats to Eli and the Giants, however.

[FearedSanctity]

Brady's also got 10 seasons on Tebow. Don't really get your comparison. Only similarity is that Bradying and Tebowing are both things

[The Fraze]

Brady had a Super Bowl ring the first season he became a starter.

[FearedSanctity]

2011 Broncos ≠ 2001 Patriots.

And Tebow doesn't even have a season where he's started all 16 games. Though we was able to come in with 11 games left and take a 1-4 team that seemed doomed to another 4-12 season as far as the divisional round. Not saying he's better or as even good, but attempting to compare the careers of a sure HOFer to a guy with 14 games total started is kinda ridiculous

[The Fraze]

The comparison is between Bradying and Tebowing. The fact that Brady has 3 Super Bowl rings in 5 trips is what makes the term and action laughable. The mention of Tebow is merely because Bradying is a spin off of Tebowing, which shouldn't even be a bandwagon because Tebow has nothing besides Jesus at this point in his career.

If it was "do the Brady" or just "the Brady," with a picture of someone sitting on the ground in defeat, I would have said the same thing with no mention of your boy Tebow.

Ps; Brady hadn't had a season where he started all 16 games when he won a ring, either. ;)

I'm not even a Patriots fan.

[FearedSanctity]

Pretty sure you're taking it too seriously bro. How good he is has nothing to do with it. Someone took a picture, it looked funny, people mock it. It's pretty simple. And Tebow has a bandwagon because of what he did in college, not just the in NFL. 2 national championships and a Heisman aren't something to just ignore once he hits the Combine.

PS. Again, 2011 Broncos ≠ 2001 Patriots ;)

[Nark Order]

Just stirring the pot. It isn't everyday in the "real world" that I have access to a dedicated group of Denver Broncos fans to poke and prod at.

I actually think that the Bradying thing is pretty fucking hilarious. Just sulking in a gigantic heap of despair and defeat. Reminds me of myself after sex.

[The Fraze]

Pretty sure you're taking it too seriously bro.

Other way around.

Oh, and this is more like it:
