As a Jets fan, I didn’t think I had much to root for last night, and would resort to rooting for the refs. Boy, am I glad I watched; this was probably the most thrilling and exciting Super Bowl ever. I tip my hat to the Giants and their fans; this team had a bunch of guys who I thought were over the hill (Strahan, Burress) a coach who I thought the game had passed by (Coughlin) and a quarterback I thought was destined to live in his brother’s shadow (Manning). Wrong on all accounts; this was a team with grit and determination to envy. The youngest Giants fans today could live to be a hundred, and they’ll probably never see another win as spectacular as this one.

As for Patriots fans, I imagine their agony must be so bad, I can’t even gloat or twist the knife. It figures for the Boston area; after a year in which everything seemed to be coming together, they suffer what must be the single most stinging loss in football, and perhaps sports history.
