    Default I don't even like Football...but WOW!!!

    I'm so excited for Eli Manning(I don't like that playboy routine from Tom Brady). I can hear fireworks going off all over...a big day here in New Jersey.

    I'm in Jersey too and hear loads of fireworks too. My husband went ballastic with all the screaming...he loves the Giants! Not a sports fan here, but what a game.

    Being on the West Coast, I really didn't care who won. I was just hoping for a good game and both teams delivered. That was a great Superbowl.

    The Old Man doesn't see the big deal (he's from Memphis... pfft) but I have always been here.

    Being a sports fan is a way of life. Even DD is mad the Pats lost. It was a dull game the first 3 quarters, the last one made up for it... WOW!

    Wow is right. I was literally on my knees with my head on the floor near the end when it looked like Eli was going to be sacked. Then I don't think I took a breath the last 40 seconds.

    Even had the Giants lost, I was relieved that they were going to beat the spead on them, but then the time ran out and they had won, I was thrilled.

    Got to give it up to the Pats though, they had a great season. I know it didn't end the way they wanted it to, but it was a great, close and excitment filled game. The kind that even not sports/football fans could get into.

    Didn't really care who won (though I'm partial to Eli Manning), but that sure was quite a game.

    I'm the only sports fan in the house. Even I didn't care who won (and I am from New England shhhhh)! But it was such an engaging game that DS actually sat and watched from halftime all the way to the end.

    Great game, and isn't that what it's all about? I hate watching blowouts.

    Well, if it couldn't be my Colts, at least it was a Manning. Great last quarter, alot more interesting than most Superbowls. (And I really can't stand Bill Belicheck so.....)

    I don't know how Mama Manning watched that...I was a wreck!!

    Wow is right! How neat to see a close game and the underdogs win. I'm not a fan of the Giants but am so happy for them that they pulled it off.

    I'm so happy for the Manning family. If it couldn't be my team in there I'm glad the underdogs won!

    I was so cheering Eli and the Giants on in that last drive and the G-men defense really did the job when it mattered most!
