It would've been funny if he caught it, but he hid it like he dropped it and got mad about it, but then at the last second come up and have the ball laughing and saying, 'Yo Soy Fiesta!'.... lol

Note to Tom Brady, control your wife. Mrs. Brady has expressed her opinion on the loss and "rips" the receivers for dropping the passes late in the game.

You don't throw and catch at the same time. First you throw the ball to yourself, then you catch the ball. Giselle should make a note of that.

[JO_75]

You know the funny thing someone brought up in a comment on Pro Football Talk, Eli Manning didn't make that list of 'Top 100 Players of 2011.' Look at the list of Quarterbacks who made the list and their ranking:

[color=#000000][font=Georgia,]1. Tom Brady[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Georgia,]2. Peyton Manning[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Georgia,]9. Drew Brees[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Georgia,]11. Aaron Rodgers[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Georgia,]20. Michael Vick[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Georgia,]26. Phillip Rivers[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Georgia,]41. Ben Roethlisberger[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Georgia,]52. Matt Ryan[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Georgia,]72. Tony Romo[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Georgia,]86. Josh Freeman[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Georgia,]90. Joe Flacco[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Georgia,]100. Donovan McNabb[/font][/color]

Look at that... the eventual QB who would win his second Super Bowl, didn't even make the list.

[Malicious.xylem]

[color=#800080]Who do you guys place the blame on for the Patriots misfortune? It wasn't a foregone conclusion that the Welker miscue would equal a touchdown If caught, maybe a field goal, with time remaining? That throw was also dreadful, It was off the mark [b]inconceivably[/b], Also the defense allowed them to go 80+ yards. [/color]

[color=#800080]To me; I believe the defense should be held accountable for allowing the plays they did, Not just Welker nor Brady.[/color]

[Fricknmaniac]

Honestly, I have to put the blame on Belicheck and Brady in this scenario. Before the game Brady said he'd rather be down and have the ball than be up and not have the ball at the end of the game.

And Belicheck took him at his word there, since he (presumably) told the defense to allow the Giants to score the go ahead touchdown. Belicheck put his faith in Brady and Brady didn't get it done.

It's easier to win a Super Bowl when the game is tied and you only need a field goal than it is to win the game when a failure on the last drive means you lose the game. Brady is 2-0 in the first situation and 0-2 in the latter situation.

I still maintain that Belicheck should have made the Giants earn those last points and it was the wrong move to do anything less, especially with the lead.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Belichick made the correct decision. Either way they were going to be down, assuming the kicker doesn't shank a 15 yard field goal. The question was, were they going to be down 1 point with 20 seconds remaining, or down 4-6 points with almost a minute remaining and a timeout. The score was 17-15 at the time.

Remember Billy Cundiff? The Patriots were leading the at the time, you always should be fighting to perserve the lead and forcing the other team to take the lead from you. Remember it was in a dome, which means field goals can be attempted from a longer distance than in an open stadium. Remember that the Packers managed to get in field goal range in 18 seconds against the Giants in the regular season, which allowed them to win the game.

There are only a few scenarios where it's good to give the opponent free points, and this was not one of those scenarios.

[MsMarvel73]

Ya know...Giselle needs to keep her trap shut. Welker and co no doubt already feel like crap for those drops on football's biggest stage. I highly doubt they need any reminder, particularly from a teammate's Brazilian supermodel trophy wife. I know Brady's hurting...the whole team is but... smh

[FYF86]

Glad the Pats didnt win. Good to see a fellow Scottish guy win the Superbowl.

[Gordo52]

Anybody catch the final score of the puppy bowl? I fell asleep at halftime and missed it...

[flynismo]

bwahaha....

Gisele and Princess Brady are perfect for each other. Sore losing crybabies!

That's what I've always thought.

Just waiting for Welker and Branch's other halves to come out and start a cat-fight through the media.

If there are 20 seconds left in a game, and the offense has no timeouts...it's extremely unlikely. What was the exact scenario with the Packers? Did they have timeouts?

I got this from the Bleacher Report Facebook page so all credit goes to them. We have heard of Tebowing...... now ladies and gentlemen I introduce to you Bradying!

Lol, the Patriots fans posting there are so classless.

They do realise they were lucky to even play in the Super Bowl? They're acting like they were robbed. Anyway, I'm enjoying rubbing it in and reminding every Pats fan I know that they're 0-2 since they were stopped cheating.

[JO_75]

I would figure to keep this here since it still involves the Super Bowl. This was on live TV during the parade for the Giants.... The reporter asks a girl which Giants player she most wants to see, and she responds first with Sanchez(right city, wrong team) and then says Peyton(ok right last name, wrong brother).

This girl is clearly a BAND WAGON FAN who probably only became a "fan" because they won the Super Bowl.

How much do you want to bet she asked her friends before the parade or during the Superbowl and they gave her wrong answers?

Actually they wound up interviewing her and she said she had no idea what she said until it was all over. She said it was just pure fun and she isn't a real fan of anyone, she doesn't own any Giants gear but she bought a Super Bowl 46 Champions T-Shirt because they wanted something to wear to the parade. She also said she only knows who Sanchez is because she saw him on the cover of GQ.

Typical NY Fan... Yes.
