Wow. That was fast. I love when defenders get all pumped up after tackling a guy who just gained a first down. ---

The Giants punter is having a Super Bowl performance. Two pin-backs, and the other one came within about a foot of having a Giant keep it out of the end zone. ---

I assume this is the first time the first score of the game was a safety. What was the prop bet on that one? ---

That was bad clock management. They lost 20 seconds out of 48. Should have called a timeout before the play. ---

Whoever had the Giants 9, Pats 0 square is very happy right now. Pats were on the ropes early, but the Giants didn’t put them away. Now the Pats have momentum, and get the ball to start the second half. Giants need to rally. Should be a good second half. The downside is no more football for months after today…☹ ---

The Giants didn’t quite do enough when they had momentum. The Pats are doing a great job on the OL. Gonna be another nail biter. ---

For the first time in years I had great numbers in my pool. Wouldn’t you know they throw up a safety in the first quarter. WTF? Where was that all those years I had 2s and 9s and other crappy numbers? ---
