Giants Top Patriots in Super Bowl, 17-14

That was quite a fourth quarter in Glendale, Arizona where the New York Giants topped the now-once beaten New England Patriots, 17-14, in Super Bowl XLII.

Also, check out some of your favorite Super Bowl commercials at MySpace. The Diet Pepsi Max commercial was probably my most favorite of the night:

Updated 02/04/08 at 12:04am: Well, it looks like Michael Graham, known to be not such a big fan for Senator John McCain will be voting for the Arizona senator. Here he is quoting himself from Friday at the National Review’s Corner:

I am so confident of both a Patriots win today and a Romney win in Massachusetts on Tuesday that I made this pledge on the air Friday: “If the NY Giants beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl, I will vote cast my Super Duper Tuesday primary vote for (shudder) John McCain.”

Super Bowl XLII between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants plays out in the Arizona desert. Game time is in three hours, but in the meantime, check out this memorable clip from Oliver Stone’s 1999 film, Any Given Sunday.

“…we know when we add up all those inches, that’s gonna make the fucking
difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!”

Don’t Kick It to Hester!

Football Night in America, the studio show produced by NBC Sports, is easily my favorite professional football production any night of the week.

Bob Costas, arguably the smartest of sports commentators (and my favorite all-time) sitting next to Keith Olbermann, a former sportscaster from ESPN and FOX Sports.

Olbermann, in a spin-off of his well-received “Worst Person in the World” segment from Countdown, names the “Worst Person in the NFL.” Last week’s winner, Denver Broncos kicker/punter, Todd Sauerbrun, claimed the mantle for declaring he would kick to Chicago Bears returner Devin Hester, who went on to return two kicks for touchdowns.
