I saw the "Immaculate Reception." I saw the Dolphins beat the Redskins with Nixon twice calling reverses to Roy Jefferson, Macaca Sr doing it, and Jefferson getting stopped for -13 twice, giving Fins perfect season. I saw Jackie Smith drop two in the end zone to deny Satan himself the Super Bowl. I saw Coughlin's "play" with Flutie at BC. I saw the Stanford-Berkeley "marching band" game. I saw the "Heidi" game when I was 8. I saw the Silent Bowl when I was 18.
Manning-Tyree was, however, the most amazing thing I have ever seen in a lifetime as a football fan.
Oh, I also saw The BigInning in 1986. And I'm feeling like the spirits now augur a crazy, crazy party in my old hometown the last week of October and first week of November. Johan Santana & Hillary Clinton. Nueva Yoll 4-ever don't mess.
And for what it's worth, I don't know about any of you, but I think Tom Petty has much nicer tits than Janet Jackson does.
Kelso's Nuts love you

Kelso, go ask Randal Graves. I called it on his site. I said the Pats would go 18-1. This was about heart and desire and a little luck. But they pulled it out and as far as "the catch" goes, I give that honor to Endy Chaves in the 2006 National League Championship.
For the Manning to Tyree catch, I think we need to call that "The Play." Eli Manning broke out of a horse collar tackle to air out a prayer to Tyree who caught it against his helmet. That catch was as good as Montana to Clark.
So, let's see. Joe Namath was right. He said the Giants would win. So this Plaxico Burres with his score prediction -- he had the Pats scoring no more than 17 points. And so am I. 18-1 never felt better.
I thought it was so cool that they showed the same play with the two players in shorts before the game.
Petty also had lovely soft hair.
Best Super Bowl of my lifetime - hands down.
Possibly the best Superbowl ever.
But the Planters commercial with the unibrowed woman who drove men nuts with her scent of nuts was arguably one of the worst commercials in the history of Madison Avenue.
The entire nation cringed through 30 seconds of Planters attempting to convince women the odor of nuts is more powerful than pheromones.
I don't know about any of you, but I think Tom Petty has much nicer tits than Janet Jackson does.
now that was MUCH funnier than any commercial or ANYTHING i have heard all day.
i wonder if Petty knows this?
No_slappz:
I got the Fox Sports Espanol feed which had local commercials and local announcers, the guys who do their main Sunday games during the regular season.
So, I missed the Planters thing.
D-CAPny: Thanks
Definitely time well spent in televised sports. I hate both teams, but as an underdog man I pulled for the Jersey Giants and to see the perfect Pats put in their place, payback for their silly upset of Miami in the '85 AFC champeenchip (robbing the Bears of a rematch for their only loss and America of a SB worth watching) AND their irrational concentration toward stopping Walter Payton in XX (at least Sweetness got this ring). I know, in the end we're all just rooting for laundry (line stolen from Jerry Seinfeld).
Commercials were pretty lame this year, though I did like the Tide stain pen and the E*Trade baby.
spartacus, before we anoint Plaxico as Karnak, lots of players have made predictions before that have turned out a wee bit wrong. ;-)
I want to know who stole Belichick in the second half. Barely any protection adjustments. And the Giants are the premier example of NOT resting your players and playing hard throughout. Got it, Tony Dungy and Jon Gruden?
OT, O'T: (as we are discussing sports, after all): I agree with and Jerry Seinfeld that it is rooting for laundry which is why I like betting sports for a living. When I watch sports,I'm rooting for myself. That said, there are teams that I feel emoitonal about: METS, GIANTS, JETS, UCLA, AND WHOEVER'S PLAYING THE YANKEES (OR RUDI GIULIANI'S GIRLS, MORE APPROPRATELY).
I also would have been happy for NE because I love Belichick. And I think it's super-cool that the AFC East has two head coaches from Wesleyah (Kelso '83).
Football with its interminable stoppages and commercials can be very boring. A good game is a treat.
Randal: Belichick coached pretty well, I thought. He dealt with the blitz as well as he could, using only three downfield receivers for much of the 3rd quarter and he was ready to win the game when Coughlin went into prevent. He got his opportunity and cashed it in. Wasn't NE like a huge favorite to win the game having gone ahead with NYG having one possession left?
I think it was less an issue of Belichick not doing enough than NYG defensive coordinator doing brilliantly. He found and exploited weakness in the NE line-play and passing attack overall. He's been brilliant all year and unlike Coughlin has earned his players' trust and respect.
RG-No one's ever going to call Plax, Karnak, and you're right about lots of predictions going awry. But a call is a call, and when you get it right, you're king.
As for Belichick, he maybe a great X's and O's coach, but the view from New York is that he's a big fucking baby for walking off the field with a tick left on the clock. In fact, his post game comments (and Brady's) for that matter simple would not acknowledge the fact that the Giants beat them fair and square.
For once, I'll agree with slappz that this was one of the great Superbowls, but I thought the Planters commercial was fucking riot, poking fun at all those other ads using hot women to sell their product. It was soooo anti-fashion.
