Congratulations New England Patriots!!
This archived discussion is "read only". « Previous 1 2 Next » » grimaceb - Re: New England Patriots I was the biggest New England Patriots fan in the entire world for about three hours yesterday, and what a ride it was. Being a Steelers fan, there was nothing I wanted more this year than for the Steelers to beat the Pats and then the Rams in the Super Bowl.Barring that, however, I just wanted the Rams to win. I was happy with Oakland going. Even Baltimore. Because I thought they could pull it off. But I never in a million years imagined that the New England Patriots would finally win a Super Bowl by beating the Rams, on turf, in New Orleans. Just goes to show what underestimation can do to a team. It wasn't the prettiest win. Not by a long shot. But if Tebucky Jones' fumble recovery TD hadn't been brought back, only to be followed by a Kurt Warner rushing touchdown, I wouldn't have been surprised to see this game become the biggest upset in Super Bowl history. Even the way it turned out was a beautiful story. ESPN commented often on how no one was rooting for the underdogs. I disagree. Listening to the fans' reactions early, I determined that many - like myself - were rooting for the Pats. We just didn't think they had a chance in the world of pulling it off. What a pleasant surprise, and bravo Tom Brady! -- posted by grimaceb » grimaceb - Re: Re: Congratulations New England Patriots!! In response to message posted by Laughman:
The halftime score was, what? I forget, but Wales only had three. So if anyone can beat back the Brits, I have full confidence it's Ireland. -- posted by grimaceb » Tina_Coruth - Re: Re: Congratulations New England Patriots!! In response to message posted by Laughman:Hi Martin, Yes, it sure is nice to see the underdogs come out on top!! Thanks for joining in the festivities. Congratulations to Ireland! I'll certainly be keeping a good thought for next game in London! Tina -- posted by Tina_Coruth » Tina_Coruth - Re: Re: Re: Congratulations New England Patriots!! In response to message posted by Red:Thanks for joining in Mary!! The Pats victory has filled New Englanders with a great spirit. I've seen a clip of Paul McCartney singing "A Hard Days Night" with some of the commentators. Looks like they had a good time! LOL I was a big Beatles fan as a teenager. I still like their music.

I also learned about the game from my son, who is a football fan, too. We were talking about the game briefly the day before and I asked him if he thought the Pats really had a chance. He said yes and described the circumstances, which turned out to be exactly what happened! It's been a long time coming -- New Englanders are very happy and proud! -- posted by Tina_Coruth » Tina_Coruth - Re: Re: New England Patriots In response to message posted by grimaceb:Hi Grimace, Thank you for posting what happened. I was afraid I wouldn't get it straight, so I didn't try. LOL It's really nice to have the information in the discussion. I agree with you that there were many fans rooting for the Pats. They were going crazy here before the game with the Steelers. There are a couple of fans in Manchester who are so devoted to the Pats that they have turned their garage into a replica of a football field, complete with bleachers, astro turf, and a wide screen TV. They have over 100 guests. It's grown so much, they even have sponsors! Thanks for joining in the celebration! -- posted by Tina_Coruth » Tina_Coruth - Re: This is great!
