Never been interested in doing much shit talking. I prefer to watch from the sanctity of my living room. I went to the Giants/Cowboys season finale in 2012 and had no problems sitting in a sea of Giants fans at MetLife.

Just a beanie. My brother had a jersey on. No issues as long as you aren't being obnoxious.
I guess so. I believe @Mr. Laser Beam survived Fenway Park wearing some kind of Yankees attire the same way 
Damn right.

Actually, Redsox fans were very nice to me at Fenway when I had my Yankee gear on. Some of the friendliest fans I ever met.
That was an incredible fourth quarter. Two weird catches -- the ballerina pointe-work, and the "caught by the other guy's feet" play.
Wow! New England came back after losing 21-3 in the 2nd quarter and 28-9 in the 3rd quarter!
How 'bout them Pats?

That ought to help end the QB argument, I suppose. He's now got 5, 4 Superbowl MVPs, just blew every superbowl record out of the water, etc. Played like crap for the first half (airmailed a couple balls that would have gone big, pick-6, just generally inaccurate as hell), but that 4th quarter was brilliant.
Little annoyed that MVP just automatically goes to the QB unless something crazy happens, though. Brady was amazing at the end, but had to be because of the first half. Personally, I'd have given it to James White. Seriously, what did he have to do to win this thing? 2 rushing TDs, 1 receiving TD, 139 total yards, and a 2-point conversion "TD" as well. Know the press needed the story to be Brady overcoming the Deflategate thing, but he'd better throw this kid a bone afterwards. Like he gave Malcom Butler the truck he won as MVP the Seahawks year.

Also, holy crap Falcons. How does that get away from you at the end? Know it's just 'do what we do' stuff, but why did they get away from the run once they were up big? It was working, it was killing clock, etc. Almost like Shanahan left to take that 49ers job at halftime instead of waiting until it was over. Dunno if the moment got too big, got into a 'prevent offense' and couldn't get going again, halftime cooled them off and they couldn't get it going again, the Center's pain shot wore off, or...?
All that said, they had the Pats dead to rights with 4 minutes left. After ANOTHER Julio Jones tiptoe sideline catch (guy has amazing footwork!), why are they looking to throw the ball again? On the Pats 25 yard line, give or take, well within FG range. Run it a couple times, take the FG and you're up 11 points. Pats would have had to burn time outs, be down 11, and have 3 minutes or so to play. Can go down and get 8, no chance they do that PLUS get onside kick, PLUS a FG. Instead, lined up in shotgun, got sacked (still within FG range, but tight), and then lost another 10 on a holding penalty the next play. Ryan just takes a knee 3 times and they kick a FG, they win that game. Just can't explain why that happened like that, why were they trying to be aggressive? sure, TD is a dagger in the heart, but the FG would already be a kill shot, why try to get cute with it?
Don't get me wrong, I'll take it, just curious. Part of what makes Belichick so great, I guess. Doesn't panic, never seems like the moment gets too big, adept at seeing when someone is making a mistake and helping coax that into full-blown failure. Between Ryan and the coaches, they cost themselves that game. Not to take anything away from what the Pats managed to do, but Falcons had this one in the bag and couldn't ice it.

Yes, that was some of the worst coaching in Super Bowl history.
1st and 10 at the 22. Run the ball up the middle three times. Run the clock as much as possible (or make NE burn all of their time outs). Kick the field goal and go up by 11. My grandmother could have made that call.
Just unbelievably stupid. They will be regretting that in Atlanta for many years to come.
Anyway, as much as it hurts to say it, congratulations Patriots. That was truly incredible.
Enjoy.
Well, congrats you Pats fans! Atlanta did blow it, but that only happens if New England takes advantage and they did.
I'll cut Brady some slack in the first half, yes he had a few un-Brady-like passes, but there were dropps on good passes and he spent most of the first half on his ass.
Exciting game to watch. I did not know that no Super Bowl game had ever gone to overtime.
Once NE won the flip, I knew Brady wasn't going to give them the ball back.
I don't think there is much argument against Brady being the best ever now. I had always held Montana a slight notch ahead. but now he has #5, I think that argument is moot.
I thought Bradshaw was very classy at the trophy presentation.
SERIOUS boos for Roger... I was really hoping Brady said something like "you can't deflate this!!!" while holding the Superbowl Trophy.

Loved the Boos for Roger at the end, they gave it to him good. As satisfying as it would have been to have the Pats stick it to him somehow, glad they didn't. They're better than that, and it would have taken something away from the win to do so. This way, they looked good, and Roger just sorta stood there for a minute and then backed off the stage.
We'll see if he meant all his BS about why he didn't come to Foxboro, though. Kraft made a point that he's invited, and if they won, Opening Night would be a perfect opportunity to take in a game in New England. we'll see what his excuse this time is.
