Super Bowl XLVI

New York Giants 21, New England Patriots 17

The NFL proves once again why it's the most popular sport in America with another 4th quarter comeback victory.   I can't recall the last time we've had a bad Super Bowl.  Perhaps the Giants and Patriots should play every Super Bowl.  I don't think the Giants will go down as one of the greatest Super Bowl winning teams, but they did go on quite a run when they needed to, they had a 7-7 record at one point this season before running the table and winning all of their remaining games.  It just goes to show, you just need to get hot at the right time.  

Observations:
-Amazing catch by Mario Manningham, easily the play of the game.  
-2 Super Bowl wins & 2 Super Bowl MVP's now for Eli Manning, he is some rare air. 
-The Giants are the first team in a 16 game regular season to win the Super Bowl with fewer than 10 regular season wins.
-The Giants defensive line is good!  
-At 65, Tom Coughlin is the oldest coach to win a Super Bowl.  He's won 2 now.  
-Madonna was ok during the halftime show, isn't it time they book someone a little more relevant though?  
-Kelly Clarkson did a nice job on the national anthem
-Bring on the NFL Draft!  April 26, 2012.  
-From all reports, Indianapolis did a nice job hosting the Super Bowl, props to them.
-2013 Super Bowl will be in the Superdome in New Orleans, LA.
