In what was perhaps one of the best Super Bowl games in recent memory and maybe the most watched in Super Bowl history, the New York Giants ripped victory from the jaws of the New England Patriots with 35 seconds remaining in the game to clinch the title and spoil the Pats’ hopes for a record 19-0 perfect season. The Patriots had one last gasp to try to regain their lead and save the game, but Tom Brady’s desperation pass on fourth down fell incomplete. NFL Game Center has the stats and key plays.
Dawn and I watched the game with a group of close friends on Michael & Sisko’s new 73-inch Hi-Def flat screen TV. Now, that’s the way to watch the Super Bowl! We still had all the yelling and screaming those at UofP Stadium experienced, but with far better seats, much better company and, without a doubt, way better food. After the game, we retired to our hosts’ cigar room and enjoyed some of Michael’s finest, perfectly paired with appropriate wines and engaging conversation. It was a wonderful Super Bowl party!
Today I’ll be licking my wounds, paying off a couple of bets I’d made on the Pats, and collecting on one I made (no points!) on the Giants. All in all I came out about even.
