I truly think the Patriots were/are a class act, aside from that whole cheating thing that I'll never understand the full scope of. No doubt in my mind, I would have rooted for them had that not happened, but I didn't want them to be hailed as the greatest of all time (*), because then I just would have been confused as to whether or not I believed it.

Everybody always underrates a good defense...what a game!

Oh come on, everybody cheats. The Pats just got caught doing it.

EDIT: All the football teams have those recordings going on of the other team's plays. Hence, cheating.

Everybody pushes the envelope. Everybody continues past decision height if they really don't see anything. Oh Sh!t, did I say that....

Well maybe football is not really that important, but what if it is....? What do you think FP?

But do you really know that? That's the thing. We KNOW the Pats did it...just not to what degree it helped. I certainly like it better that they lost so I don't have to think about it anymore.

The Giants defense won that game, and should have been the MVP.

I agree. Give the MVP to the front four... Actually scratch that, the secondary shut down Moss for most of the game... They deserve something for that.

I think it was more a problem with the Pats's offensive line; they just couldn't buy Brady enough time in the pocket to get the ball to Moss. Mind you, I think the Giants's defense played great football, but if our offensive line had been stronger, we would've had a fighting chance.

On Fox 25 News(Boston) after the game they stated that the Pats loss was was the biggest upset in sports history. I'm not even going to get into how wrong that statment is. Way to go Giants!
