Woot Pats! I actually got to watch the game this time too. Two years ago, I was terribly sick, and I sort of remember watching the game winning field goal and thinking, "Oh great, now you're delusional."
Wow, what a game. Better than Super Bowl XXXVI, though it can't touch Super Bowl XXXV. Tom Brady MVP? I don't know about that. If anything, Belichick should be MVP. The guy can do no wrong. I just remember the fake punt intentional safety he pulled against the Broncos on MNF. That was ridiculous...but it worked.
To me, Delhomme was the more impressive QB in the second half, having to come from behind in a hurry-up offense more than once...more than twice. It's players on the losing teams never get recognized for their outstanding performances.
Less than 3 complete seasons, two Super Bowls, two MVPs? Woohoo for the local kid. I should have gone to Serra High.
49er front office take notes please... Good kickers win lots of football games (Vinatieri)...important ones. They also lose their share of important ones (Kasay). Crappy kickers like Cortez, Chandler, Pochman, Peterson LOSE football games. Do the only truly smart thing the Raiders have done in the last half decade, draft a decent kicker and try to stick with him.

I think you are thinking of Super Bowl 34, the Titans-Rams game. Unless my memory is off Super Bowl 35 was the Ravens-Giants game which sucked donkey testicle. Even still, this game was better than number 34. Back and forth with 36 points in the fourth quarter. Four scores in the last seven minutes, three of which gave the scoring team the lead and the other tied the game with 68 seconds left. Probably not the absolute best played game but definitely the best Super Bowl of the last 20 years IMO. Some people probably found the first half boring but it was very well played. There was kind of a theme at the beginning of whether or not the Patroits could knock them out early but they couldn't convert on some short 3rd downs and also had the two stops and then missed FGs. Crazy game too going from defensive domination in the first third of the game to the last third where neither offense could be stopped. Great game all around.

Crystal Springs Uplands. We only ever played public schools in pre-season games/matches. I don't think Serra was in our division either.
Is it me or do Catholic schools always seem to put a heavy emphasis on athletics?
