The Unsung MVP of SB XLII

THE OFFICIATING

It was refreshing watching a game without numerous flags and too many challenges. They let them play the game. They weren't the story of the game.

[theasterisk]

yes. good point...i can only think of 1 play that wasnt called:
1st drive, toomer shoved hobbs? to get that long catch...nothing huge though

[flarendep1]

Agreed!!

[tkim11]

Yes sir. Glad a penalty didnt change the outcome of the game.

[BrezzeEaze]

One of the best (excitement wise) Suberbowls in history. Great game all the way around.

[MNCapper]

I agree, was amazing watching the game and not yelling about bad calls by the officials. When they do a great job like yesterday you don't notice them and when they suck, they stick out like a sore thumb. Great game and one of the best jobs by the officials that I have ever seen!

[Three Jack]

Well played game on both sides and well officiated as well.

Great game and great refs. Congrats frank and congrats three jack. I envy your position this morning ... I really do. What a GREAT Win for you guys!

It is very painful as a N.E. fan this morning. I won't deny the feelings that came with that loss. I know alot of Giants fans up here and all of you guys will enjoy this one forever. Congrats again!

Thanks Wayne...Boston is in mourning...complete contrast to Friday...180. Wore my Osi jersey to work on Friday and was ridiculed all day by construtnion workers...now, no one wants to know me!

I will say this, outside of Belichick, the whole Pats team and org acted like class last night. Ovbviously, I stayed up until 3am watching re-runs of SportsCenter and the NFL Network and then Mike & Mike at 6am today and they were all class. No excuses, no BS....they have handled a very stinging defeat like professionals, imo.

Sorry, buddy...but 5 titles since 2002...it is ok to let others win.

And, by the way, you may want to change your avatar....

I will say this 3J, i couldn't be more impressed with how Brady and Moss, along with other players, and how they handled themselves. I wouldn't have been able to face the media if i was them. I left my avatar up to mourn them but my Red Sox Avatar will be up soon. Three Super Bowls and 2 World Series Titles since 2001 is something i'll never forget. It has been a GREAT time up here in N.E. for all the chowds and even though this one stings ALOT, we will get through it. It still beats all those (4-12) New England teams.

I could never faced the media after losing like that...ever! All class (minus the coach)!

Well ... I never expected the coach to change. I wasn't sure how Brady, and especially Moss would react though. I was very impressed. I wanted them to be as sad as me!

Schlereth hit the nail on the head this morning on M&M...saying that he (Belichick) acts like a 'petulent child'. He actually hammered him this morning, and I thought it was well deserved.

I agree. The Pats were very gracious losers especially Moss.

Regarding Belichick, I've softened my opinion. He did come on the field and embrace Coughlin. Why let it taint a great game? It should be a non-factor.

YEP-GOOD CALL LORD OF THE RINGS-nobody can blame the umps on this one !!
