They are known as Super Bowl Champions.

"world champions" is rarely or never used in Footbal. Baseball yes, football no.

Sticking to a methodical gameplan can seem boring, that is unless it makes you win. Yesterday's game was a classic confrontation of a determined defense up against a record-setting offense. The Giants game plan was brilliant, and their execution was flawless.

There are a lot of football fans that are not happy unless the game ends 41-38 and the teams are marching up and down the field.

These are usually the same fans who can't appreciate a 1-0 baseball game for the beautiful pitching performances.

And also the reason why soccer will never be a popular professional sport in the US.

Just dropping in to say one thing.

I don't give a good gorram about football, the championship, who wins, who loses. So I'm one New Englander you won't hear ranting and raving about the Pats' loss - now I need to go find the other one. So if anyone had a notion to razz me and mine about it, you needn't bother. I've got better things to do yesterday and today.

New meaning is nigh

We're all gonna die!

how can anyone say this wasn't a classic, this game goes to prove one thing, a great offence wins games but a great defence wins championships,
canmt wait to next year when my team the cleveland browns wins the superbowl,
congrats to the giants, truely the best team on the night.

I am a giants fan even though I had grown sort of cold to football in my old age, but I will admit that I was one of those few who while I was rooting for the Giants I didn't really believe they could do it.

Great game! I'm a defense guy so it wasn't boring at all to me. To me, the most boring Super Bowl was the one where Dallas beat Buffalo really bad. (Twice in a row I believe?) but one was just a blow out by halftime. There were 3 lead changes in the 4th quarter in this one! Even though it wasn't high scoring, I was on the edge of my seat, cause I knew either team could strike at any moment.

I'm not a Giants fan, but I do like Eli. (I'm an Ole Miss fan). I absolutly hate the Pats, so I was glad to see someone feed them some humble pie!

Oh, and to the Browns fan...you've got a great team to watch now. Congrats! I respect all the Brown fans that hung in there with them. Of course, you'll understand if I don't pull for them with you. I'm a Steeler fan that bleeds black and gold!!! ;-p

This win was especially sweet for me as I've been a NY Giants fan since I was a kid. (grew up in Brooklyn, NY). I was there through the terrible Scott Brunner years, was in heaven for the first Phil Simms Super Bowl, and nearly had a heart attack when Norwood attempted (and missed) the FG against the Hostetler-led NY Giants in the 20-19 nailbiter against the Bills.

They were blown out against an exceptional Ravens defense a few years back, and I wasn't sure how long I'd have to wait to see them back on the big stage, but Eli (and especially the defense) came up huge. Looks like Tiki picked the wrong year to retire.
