I can only imagine Bradshaws thinking, do I take this or not?

[Carmen Stateside]

Giants D standing up! Nearly there!

[Carmen Stateside]

What a play!

[thejuice]

this is tough going, and i'm dying for a piss too

[thejuice]

a healthy Gronk might have caught that, and caught the INT too.

[Carmen Stateside]

Go Giants! Fair play to Eli Manning, second ring!

[Puckoon]

Wow.  Just wow. Gabriel should have taken my bet!

[Gabriel_Hurl]

Should have - but f**k it

[Denn Forever]

Hadn't watched it for a few years.  Good one to come back for.

Was it my imagination or were there fewer turnovers than usual?  Or was it just an aberration?

Liked BBC's coverage.  No ads and good analysis (remember don't watch much AF).

Thank feck this shite is over for another year. It's all I've heard about all week in the Irish media. Not a word about the league starting, but hyping up this pile of dung!

Poor Benny

Yeah there was only one turnover which is pretty low for any game. The Giants actually fumbled 3 times but were lucky to get away with it all 3 times. They recovered 2 of them and the other was ruled out for 12 men on the field.

Scrappy game of gaelic football or top class game of American football...hmm tough choice

[The Iceman]

Class game, nerve wrecking at times. Great start and great finish from the Giants with lots of players stepping up when it counted.
Hopefully they bolster the roster with a few decent pickups in the draft and build on this!

Glad I stayed up late on New Years night and picked up the Giants v Cowboys and been following the Giants march to the Super Bowl....

Very entertaining final, helped by fast forwarding it through all the bullshite...

Fair play to the Giants, seemed to own the ball in the first half and went were down at the break, no matter what the game you do well to pick yourself up from that...

Meanwhile, my plan of watching the rugby (don't get me started about that!!!) then the Super Bowl was going great until 2 or so when I went to bed but just 60 seconds before getting out of the car to work this morning I wasn't paying attention and they gave the fecking score on the radio sports bulletin....  Didn't want to hear the fecking result and only for that I would have avoided hearing it and would have watched it in peace earlier today
