What a great Super Bowl!

First half was so-so. Basically, a tie game even though the official score was NE Patriots over the NY Giants by a mere 7-3.
Mistakes by the Patriot's Tom Brady, but even more by the Giants' Eli Manning.

Finally, in the fourth quarter, it all came down to the last several minutes, with the Giants ahead by three.
At that point I was cycling through Downtown Berkeley and stopped in at Bobby G's to have a beer and watch the end of the game.
Tom Brady moved downfield with the clock ticking and the NE Pats down by three, 10-7.
He hits receiver Randy Moss in the endzone for a NE touchdown with about three minutes in the game, 14-10 NE over NY. The Bobby G's crowd moaned and the things got tense with under three minutes left in the game.

Eli Manning and the NY Giants move downfield and make several BIG first downs. Just when it looks like Manning would be sacked from behind, he pulled perhaps one of the biggest escape tricks of the season and threw a pass caught deep in Patriots territory. A couple of plays later, Manning looped a nice pass to receiver Plaxico Burress in the endzone and the score was 17-14.
The Bobby G's crowd went wild, it was great!

Then another half-minute or so of nailbiting as the crowd waited to see if Tom Brady could somehow pass his way to position for a long field-goal to tie the game.
No luck for him, and Brady even got sacked in the attempt.
Exciting end-of-game, and apparently one of the biggest Super Bowl upsets in history.
(would have been easier I think for the NY Giants if they had one of their great running-backs, Tiki Barber)

Boston,MA folks might not want to read this, but this Super Bowl upset seems almost fitting in a way, to help counteract the great Boston-area near-arrogance in their sports teams' successes; such sport's teams as their basketball Celtics and their baseball's World Series team, the Red Sox (arch enemies of the MLB-AL NY Yankees.)
