The New York Giants became America’s team, even if only for a day. The truth is, unless you’re a Patriots fan, chances are you were rooting for the Giants. Let’s face it. Nobody wants to hear eternal bragging from Patriots fans about how New England was the best team the league ever witnessed. Another win for Tom Brady in Super Bowl 42 would have given them the ultimate statistic to prove their point. Jealousy? Damn right! Lucky for us, a train stopped them dead in their tracks at 18-1. Phew. The Dallas Cowboys still have a chance to be the first 19-0 team .

Move over Tom Brady, Super Bowl MVP, Eli Manning was the lead actor in last night’s show. I must admit, I do feel a bit bad for Tom. I mean, he just lost a huge game, and rumor has it Brazilian supermodel, Gisele Bundchen sacked him in his own end zone a few weeks ago. Ok, I don’t feel that bad. It’s not like he doesn’t have enough women fantasizing over him, and 3 Super Bowl rings already.

1972 Miami Dolphins remain the only NFL team to complete a perfect, undefeated season at 17-0. New England Patriots almost became the first to go 19-0 since the league expanded to a 16-game regular season in 1978.

The game was action-packed. Everything you could ask for in one of the greatest Super Bowls to have ever been played. Tom Brady and the New England Patriots broke record after record this season. They are undoubtedly one of the best teams to ever play the game. That didn’t scare the New York Giants, who pounded out their own record, an 11th straight victory on the road to become the Super Bowl champions. Hard to believe from a team that started the season at 0-2.

Congratulations to both the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. Thanks for the amazing entertainment in the Super Bowl of 2008. What do you guys think about Super Bowl 42? How about the highly anticipated Super Bowl commercials? At $2.7 million per 30 seconds to advertise on the Fox network during the Super Bowl, they better be good. Did you know that over 30% of viewers watch the Super Bowl for the commercials?
