lol I had the game muted while I watched Grindhouse on my lappy (see M&M thread) and with 5 minutes to go I txted a friend making fun of the giants losing... then I unmute the game 4 minutes later and find out the giants somehow turned it around-- well fuck.

Oh well... now turn off this post game shit and give me House!

OH YES. I couldn't fucking be happier.

Brady was pretty ordinary, wasn't he? :-)

EDIT: did you see that fucking play in the last drive where Manning got away from the grasp of the defender then made the throw to the tight end who CAUGHT IT WITH ONE HAND AND HIS HELMET? WOW, that was the play of the game. It was unreal

I find it kind of interesting that everything they did in that game is the exact opposite of what Eyeshield 21 would do in the same situation. If it was ES21 they would've ran every play in the last 2 minute, and there would probably be a safety in there somewhere and the final score would be separated by exactly 1 point. Someone should interview the guy who did ES21 and ask him if he actually saw this year's super bowl.

I still share your bewilderment.

Popular Football Manga, I'm not surprised it went over your head. :)

It's pretty good/funny, albeit a bit unbelievable at times.

ES21 is drawn in a way that suggest whoever did it has never actually watched football, which is probably true with 99% of the any sports manga out there.

Sometimes if the guys at Japan actually watched these games, maybe they'd be able to write games that are actually good.

You mean it actually got better on the 2nd half? I was watching the first half, and it looked like these players didn't deserve to be in the NFL. Fumbles and sacks everywhere, with an appalling low score on both sides.

After that, I left to go home. Too bad I missed some of the commercials, but I'm sure I can catch them on YouTube or something.

I thought the commercials were pretty crappy overall, so you didn't miss much there, imo.

But yeah, the 2nd half was incredible. That last drive by the Giants was stomach churning.

It was worth watching to see that play. There was a surprisingly dramatic finish to what was shaping up to be a boring game.

For sure. That was amazing.


Lame commercials seconded.

I only watched the last 2 minutes, but it seems like that was the only part you needed to watch in the game anyway.

Isn't that usually the case in football?

Def. The first drive was cool, and the pats scored early in the 2nd QTR, but it was crap for after that until the 4th. I almost fell asleep, but am glad i didnt.

I thought that play was one of those truth is stranger than fiction kind of thing.
