    Patriots won the Superbowl XXXVIII over Carolina with 32 - 29.

    Vinatieri kicked the game-winning field goal just four seconds before full time.

    Firts time I ever saw Super Bowl game live on TV!

    Midnight 00:00 the game was broadcasted LIVE here in Sweden, I don't know why by I felt I just had to see what this event is, that is fallowed by so many million ppl.

    I have to say, I actually enjoyed it... even though I'm still really frustrated
    since during the broadcasting they had this competition, I called in and
    then this voice came and said: "Thanks for calling, please hold on! U'll be
    directed to an opperator" in other cases they say: Thanx for calling, please hang up!

    so I'm waiting and waiting as the time passes 30 sec. and nobody is
    answering my phone hangs up automaticly, since there was no tone...

    If I have to I'll bring'em dowm! ;)
    First they robbed me of a CL Final ticket and now a Patriot or a Panthers Signed jersey...

    I have to say, that was a really great game last night.

    It started off so slowly, with neither team able to generate much offense throught the first quarter-and-a-half, but then it just exploded.

    Brady was very calm and cool in the pocket, and made very good decisions for the most part, that interception late in the 3rd non-withstanding.

    Delhomme showed a lot of heart and determination. Those two touchdown throws to Smith and Muhammed were amazing.


    Great Game. John Kasay, the kicker for Carolina, must feel like an ass for shanking the kickoff out of bounds with 1:00 minute left and giving the patriots the ball at the 40 yard line.

    I too saw the game live. At the beginning I didnt understand what all the fuss was all about, I didnt even get the rules, but during the game I began to like and understand american football a bit better... it was quite OK, I can even say I quite enjoyed it...

    And btw, I thought that Dellahomme was better than Brady, He had more yards in half the attempts, and thos two touchdown passes were fantastic. Maybe they should have went for two points instead of one after their touchdown, but in the ned it probably wouldnt have changed anything.

    Actually, they were probably better off going for just the one point on both of those occasions. In a game of that magnitude, you never really want to risk taking points away from yourself.

    Would it have changed the game? Who knows, as the final score was 32-29, but it just goes to show the inexperience of the coach for Carolina.

    And that kickoff that went out of bounds after Carolina had tied it, oh my. You couldn't even see where the ball landed on TV, that's how bad it was.

    I was impressed with Delhomme's performance, especially considering that.

    #1) Carolina is not a passing team by any stretch of the imagination. They are built around running the football.

    #2) Once New England had proved that they could stop Carolina from running the ball, and daring Delhomme to throw, he was able to come through.


    The thing is though, you can't give Tom Brady 1:00 left on the clock, with three time outs remaining, and excellent starting field position (40 yard line). You saw what happened next.

    The scary thing is, New England, in this upcoming draft in April, have (2) 1st round, (2) 2nd round, (1) 3rd round, and (2) 4th round draft picks through trades that they had made. They'll just keep re-loading.

    But "the tit" stole the show, hands down, or hands on preferably ;)
    yes, that was nice, wasn't it.


    Especially since I happen to be in love with Janet Jackson.
