Anyone actually up watching it?
NY Giants offence led to a field goal so 3-0 to them. Now however the Patriots will have possession. Can they get a touchdown?

I'm watching it.
Great first drive from the Giants but the Patriots can take a stranglehold on the game if they can get a TD on this drive.
Randy Moss has been strangely anonymous so far...

2 sacks in a row... That was big for the Giants. Now they need to do something with the ball.

7-3 to the Patriots at half time. The Giants have played really well but haven't been able to put the points on the board...

The Giants win 17-14 with the winning TD coming with half a minute to go!

The Giants defence was fantastic last night. They really gave Tom Brady a tough time.
Eli Manning sprung into life when it mattered for the Giants and probably deserved the MVP award (though I don't like it when the QB gets it all the time). Had the Patriots hung on for victory, I think Wes Welker would have been MVP.

I wanted the patriots to win in a way to cap a greats season this was a big shock one of the biggest ever in a super bowl.

Sounds a great game?

It was.
I must say BBC's coverage last night was excellent. I feared they might make a mess of things but they got it spot on. Reminded me of the old Channel 4 days. No stupid guests, no dumbing down, just the game with great analysis in between.
My only request for next year would be that they have the proper commentary instead of the world feed, especially as NBC is the host broadcaster next year which means Madden and Michaels.

This will be the order for the first round of the draft in April:
1. Miami 2. St. Louis 3. Atlanta or Oakland* 4. Atlanta, Oakland or Kansas City* 5. Atlanta or Kansas City* 6. New York Jets 7. New England (from San Francisco) 8. Baltimore 9. Cincinnati 10. New Orleans 11. Buffalo 12. Denver 13. Carolina 14. Chicago 15. Detroit 16. Arizona 17. Minnesota 18. Houston 19. Philadelphia 20. Tampa Bay 21. Washington 22. Dallas (from Cleveland) 23. Pittsburgh 24. Tennessee 25. Seattle 26. Jacksonville 27. San Diego 28. Dallas 29. San Francisco (from Indianapolis) 30. Green Bay 31. New York Giants
New England would've had the 31st pick (with the Giants 32nd) but forfeited their first round pick as a result of the "Spygate" scandal. However, they still have a first round pick as a result of a trade with San Francisco last year.
