SUPERBOWL SUNDAY 42

But in this instance...in this game it's not always about better but about who wants it. I never got that the Pats wanted it. When you want something you work for it and you bleed for it...I didn't see that.

100% true in all sports! During the half time I look at my BF and said "know what? they don't deserve this! LOOK at them! Half asleep, not pressuring the QB... psh they think they OWN this game... well they look like losers to me"

My Dad called me at the half and said "It's like they don't want this!!! Where ARE they?"

Aren't you from TX?

I'm surpised you weren't rooting against the Giants because of what happend to Dallas.

NEVER accuse me of being a Dallas fan because of where I live Home teams are for some people, lol. None of my sports teams are from Texas aside from the Rangers who I only casually follow. I am a Cleveland Browns fan and have been since I married one 8 years ago, prior to that, when I lived in Ca. I was a Buffalo Bills fan (the choke years yes...so I know all about being disappointed in your team!). I cannot abide the Cowboys.

Neither of the teams mean much to me...but Eli shares a name with my son and they even look sort of alike so I've been keeping tabs on him all season long.

It is extremely frustrating. I have cried and raged watching the Red Wings skate like zombies...like old men...WAKE UP DANGIT...my DH hates watching the NHL playoffs with me LOL. I hate to see any sort of coasting in my teams come playoff or crunchtime. It's frustrating for a fan because you know how good they are/could be...when they are awake and have ganas..

From the movie 'Stand and Deliver':

"You're going to work harder here than you've ever worked anywhere else. And the only thing I ask from you is *ganas.* *Desire.*"

It's not a sports quote....but it is...lol. It's a favorite of mine.

I won't diminish the Giants win with catty talk - I simply appreciated the wild play in the 4th where Eli avoided the tackle and still managed to meet his mark.  Pivotal to the game, IMO.

That should be the play of the game.

Peyton Manning:

"This has been Eli's year. I am proud to have been here tonight," Peyton Manning said. "I am proud to be his brother and I love him very much."

So sweet...almost makes up for all those frickin' commercials he subjected us to lol.

I couldn't believe he left the game - sure foregone conclusion with 1 second but leave the field????

Maybe he just didn't feel like joining the celebration.
