Pass interference no call on the 2 pt conversion... Defense needs to step up for Philly.

Eagles up by 5 points and the Pats have 2 minutes and 21 seconds with 1 TO.

Brady fumbles and Philly recovers. 1st sack and 1st turnover of the game.

New SB FG record by a rookie - 46 yards. 41-33 Eagles and Brady has no timeouts and 1:05 on the clock.

I think this was a good Super Bowl. Minneapolis put on a good show and the support for the game was fantastic. Using the Mall Of America for the NFL Experience was great planning instead of having fans freeze outside in the bitter weather.

Using the Mall as the staging area for trains to the stadium after clearing security was a super idea, too. Wait until next year when the Mercedes- Benz stadium has no nearby transportation. We already saw a preview with the NCAA National Championship game last month.

I'm very pleased with the outcome.Didnt have a dog in the fight but I'm a pats hater from way back .I hope Brady stays around for a least one more loss so he can tie My fav qb Jim Kelly for the most sb losses.Kelly to me was probably the best qb to never win and 4 in a row.The bills crushed my spirt back then ,lol.

OK, I watched the first half and ran around doing household chores and peeked at the tube once in a while until 5 minutes left. I was waiting for Brady the Extra Terrestrial to steal this game too. Both Brady and Uncle Bill must have lost communication with the Mothership. Belechick was out coached. His personnel match ups and schemes were completely new for this game and no one has any idea why. I think he out thought himself. I knew the game was done when NBC showed the shot of Brady at the end of the 3rd I think it was, head bowed hands holding it. When he does that he be done. I knew then and there I'm buying a new GPS/Sonar combo, with a big screen too. whoorah! By the way Sports betting on Ontario is legal. I would never bet with my bookie. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming doesn't charge any vig, not yet.

To answer one of the guys questions earlier I predict runners will not be able to put hands to the face soon, you can't have rules for 1 and not the other 10 guys, sorry 9, QB's are special. The stiff arm rule will be changed for next season, hand to the helmet maybe OK, not the face mask. And a final definition of what a catch is. It has simply gotten stupid. Just today 2 refs in the end zone looked at each other waiting for the other guy to raise his hands. must be Man the pressure they are under must be massive. Time to get full time referees, maybe? I think the league can well afford it.

My wife watched the half time show and was not impressed, bad sound from NBC not much better on the CTV. I like marching bands. Some Canucks. like my wife got a little bonus, here in Canada we do not see the same commercials as the US networks, ridiculous. For some reason we did this game. I didn't watch the Super Bowl to see commercials or singers, what I saw was no big deal, I don't get the hype about those adds, I just don't get it. Is it just me or was 1/2 time not as long as it normally is for a SB? Many players actually eat a meal because of the extended 1/2 time during the Super Bowl.

What a nail biter, but as I said earlier, they won as a team, no one person pulled it off, just a great collection of individuals

Here,s a neat little tidbit ,no quarterback has won the superbowl after being named league mvp since Kurt Warner did it ? Its the proverbial kiss of death.

Didn't care for the MLK Dodge add .. And does Budweiser really need to mention that they packaged water in there cans to sell beer ? When they do that it should be done for a good cause and not exploit it to sell merchandise .
Or am I over reacting ?
First part of halftime was just awful .. Prince tribute was nice then just ok after that ...
Wish I hadn't fallen asleep late in the game .. :facepalm:
