i missed the final score by 1 point. totally a mood point. i said GIANTS all the way. who won by the 22 picks btw? i said it would b difficult to go that route, or by the spread. poor r those that put some really big money on the PATS, spread, or not. on that note, it's pitchers, and catchers now fellas. 157 million 4 Santana. don't think so. the old saying,"the more things change, the more they remain the same."

Best Super Bowl i ever seen. Hands Down.

This was a great Super Bowl and I was glad to see a NFC Team win especially an NFC East Team.

Here is what I come up with as the results of the 22 picks. Post your score of how many of the 22 picks you got right. Then if there is a tie we will go to the how many yards part of the last 6 picks which are the tiebreakers. I got the results from the NFL.com Gamebook for the game, a pdf of it is attached. If I made a boo boo in the results lemme know

Winner Of Game with point spread of Patriots -12.5 Giants
Will the total score be over or under 53.5 points Under
Coin Toss - Heads or Tails Tails
Team to win the coin toss Giants
Team to receive the opening kickoff in the game Giants


Team to score first in the game Giants
Team to score last in the game Giants
Will the team that scores first win the game Yes
Will the first score of the game be, a TD, FG or Safety FG
Will the team that scores last win the game Yes

Team with first penalty Giants
Team with first Coach's Challenge Patriots
Team with first regular time out Giants
Will there be a score in the final 2 minutes of the first half No
Will there be a score in the final 2 minutes of the 2nd half Yes

Will there be overtime? No
Team with longest pass play and how long (1st tie breaker) Giants 45 yards
Team with longest running play and how long (2nd tie breaker) Giants 13 yards
Team with longest FG and how long (3rd tie breaker) Giants 32 yards
Team with longest Punt and how long (4th tie breaker) Giants 55 yards

Team with longest KO return and how long (5th tie breaker) Patriots 43 yards

Good Luck to all, let's post how we did and see if we need the tiebreakers

hi jm. all i got was the best pic of them all. Giants win Super Bowl XLII. not bad. if the old man upstairs sees to it that i'm around 4 next year's big game i'll go full throttle. what's the prize 4 the lucky fella anyway? does he/she get bumped up to the next level of expertise in the forum? lol...

[jm1647]

Hey dr , no prizes, no bump ups just bragging right in the NFL topic josie kicked butt during the regular season Dan kicked butt in the Playoffs .

And I hope the man upstairs keeps me around 'til the Iggles win a SB we're 0-2 in the SB

[BR7]

I see that McNabb trade rumors are still floating around.The last I heard the Ravens were interested in him

[Dan]

Should be lots of trade rumors and coaching moves coming up. It will be a shame if Spagnuolo leaves the Giants, especially if it's to coach the Skins but he sure deserves it.

[uufta]

Er, I think I got 15

[dr_ml422]

hi jm. anything can happen in sports as we just witnessed last night. although i wasn't too much surprised. eagles have to get their 25back situation str8tened out, and they'll b there. what a bunch of wooses, brady, moss, and whoever decided to not participate in the pro-bowl. no one likes 2 lose, but man these guys r sore losers, especially that constipated bellichick. well i asked what happen to smash mouth football, and bingo, we got some last night. i hate 2 see what the other great defense teams r thinking about when they play the pats next year, especially the ravens.

[jm1647]

I went over the picks for the SB and this is what I came up with, I don't think there are any boo boos

jm1647 16-6
uufta 15-7
NighTran 12-10
BR7 12-10
josie 11-11
Dan 9-13

With the trade rumors about McNabb nothing he or the Iggles would do could surprise me any more. I think McNabb still remembers draft day when the boo birds let him have it when the Iggles selected him

[soup]

"GO COWBOYS".

[uufta]

Way to go jm1647!!

( I think McNabb will be coming to the Vikes, what do you think??)

@uufta and BR7 Thanks for the congrats

[josie]

So much for trash talk before the game and my lack luster picks for the Super Bowl! LOL

But it was a hell of a game! I enjoyed being able to be totally engrossed to the final seconds for a change!

@jm1647 - Congrats on pulling out the Super Bowl... Great job!
@uufta - Great job on your picks too!

@Dan - again, great post season record!

And to everyone else, thanks for all the laughs and fun. I'm gonna miss it as always. But fall will be here soon enough.

Hope to catch everyone off and on and talk a little trash here and there.

[jm1647]

@josie - you got the lead the first week of the season and never let go of it, and I know we all tried to go past you

Football season is right around the corner and I look forward to another season of picks and trash talk here I'm ready for some football
