Thumbs up/ thumbs down
Things I loved about the Super Bowl:
- The Patriots won (duh). Three in four years, no matter how close the games were, who the competition was, and how they got there, is what it is: a Dynasty.
- Deion Branch got the recognition he deserved on a national stage. This guy just finished only his third year, and he's put up two of the great receiving games in Super Bowl history.
- Freddy Mitchell, 1 catch for 11 yards. Shut up. If this guy is back in Philly next year I'll be shocked.
- The Eagles tried to pick on Randall Gay all night (did Asante Samuel ever even need to make a play?) Not only did this result in many opportunities for obvious jokes, but he really stepped up for the most part.
- I love watching the Pats D.
- I loved David Givens flapping his wings (although it lost its comedy value by the third or fourth time a Pat did it).
- I'm glad T.O. played, and played well, but not quite well enough to get the Eagles the win.
- I asked for two things: a Pats victory, and at least two commercials where monkeys were wearing clothes and acting like humans. I got my wish.
Things that I didn't love:
- It really was a sloppy game. Bad passes, turnovers, penalties. I'm not sure this game has too much re-watch value.
- Let's face it, it would have been nice to see the Pats just dismantle an opponent in the Super Bowl, one time, to put an exclamation point on the season.
- Turf cam. What a waste!
Now the Pats will try to find new motivation for next year. Proving that it wasn't all about Romeo and Charlie, or that just because they only won by 3 doesn't mean they weren't dominant, or that they've never won a Super Bowl in Detroit, or whatever they come up with, should hopefully be good enough to at least get them back to the playoffs. And I hope that the core remains the same, including Rodney Harrison, because it's fun as hell to root for this team.

thumbs down to bruschi nailing genius's 86 year-old father in the face with a bucket of ice.
thumbs down to the seven year old who didn't even know how to flip a coin.
thumbs down to eagles receivers. freddie mitchell for having less catches than rodney harrison; TO, who, following his gutsy performance, immediately reverted to his tired old shtick of being a loud mouthed, self congratulatory, jackass; and todd pinkston, who evidently dehydrated himself staying out late boozing with prostitutes.

Great call on the coin "flip"
His dad should be ashamed. If your son is going to flip a coin on national tv in front of over 100 million viewers, you may want to practice it a few times with him.
