What an awesome game, I still haven't come down from my high yet. I'm so thrilled the Giants were able to pull this out and did it by defeating the undefeated Patriots. I've already started ordering my Superbowl Championship gear!
LOL I'm not used to this feeling of winning a championship. For too many years I've been watching other teams celebrate. My three teams are the Giants, Rangers and Mets.... and of course Dale Earnhardt Jr. in NASCAR. Last Championship for any of those teams was the Rangers back in 94. Same year that Dale Earnhardt won his last Championship too! 14 years.... It's been awhile since I've had something to really celebrate. It's nice :)

Yep enjoy it Lou...I've been waiting since I was 9 months old for the Dodgers to win another World Series lol...not like I even remember watching it but I did...
I gave the Giants no shot, but as I was watching the game, I found myself cheering everytime they made a play on either side of the ball.....I guess I was just rooting for the underdog. Either way, the game reminded me when Florida beat Ohio State two years ago. All in all, a very entertaining game to say the least.
Congratulations New York.
Here's hoping the Panthers can get back to form next year.
MANAGUA (Reuters) - Shirts and caps proclaiming the victory of the New England Patriots -- when the American football team actually lost the latest Super Bowl -- have ended up in the hands of poor Nicaraguan children.
Hundreds of shirts and caps, which had been manufactured in advance to celebrate the Patriots' expected victory over the New York Giants, were handed over to children in the southern city of Diriamba.
"The children are the winners," said Miriam Diaz, of World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization.
World Vision has links with the National Football League, or NFL, and every year helps out poor children in Latin America and Africa with the unwanted "winners" shirts of the team that actually loses the Super Bowl.
Winners' shirts and other garments are produced in advance so players and fans can put them on to celebrate immediately after the final whistle of the game. Garments of the losing team are obviously unwanted.
The Giants stunned the previously undefeated Patriots 17-14 in this year's Super Bowl.
