I'm Thrilled!

Blake81 says:

Good for the Giants. The Patriots recorded opponents' play signals on who knows how many occasions. They don't deserve a Super Bowl.

flowergardener says:

First I wanted the Patriots, then in the 4th quarter I wanted the Giants to win. (fickle, ain't I?)

CarmenVj says:

It's About Time. This New Yorker has been waiting for this surprise. Gotta go. I'm still partying and I am looking forward for the parade tomorrow. I will be there!! Yahoo!!!

clouda9 says:

Married a NY'er, so of course by default I am a fan! What a game! The best I've ever seen!

Susan52 says:

I didn't really have a favorite going in and had different reasons to want both teams to win, but that fourth quarter was awesome and Eli and the Giants really deserve the win. The only thing I'm bummed about is having to wait seven months until the season starts back up again!

I'm so bummed!

2008 Halftime Show Review

A Super Bowl Halftime Show History 

The following is a list of Super Bowl halftime shows. Due to the large number of viewers that the Super Bowl generates, a number of popular singers and musicians have performed during the halftime show.

In the United States, the halftime show for the Super Bowl is a highlight of the event, can cost millions to stage, and employ hundreds. It often serves as a crossover from pop culture, as Super Bowl Sunday has become likened to a de facto U.S. national holiday, and an event telecast, rather than merely a game. In some years, especially those in which the game itself is uncompetitive, the halftime show can be among most-discussed topics of the day, and is often regarded as watercooler material.

Due to the precise timing required to accommodate the high priced advertising surrounding the halftime shows, performers sing live but to pre-recorded backing tracks. The band on stage plays along with the pre-recorded backing tracks. The guitar solos are also performed live rather than being pre-recorded.

According to the entertainment publication Variety, in February 2007, the NFL developed a wish list for the Super Bowl XLII (2008) halftime performer(s). Bruce Springsteen and Norah Jones were reported as potential targets. On October 10, 2007, SportsByBrooks.com, an on-line sports rumor blog, reported that The Eagles were rumored (and originally approached) to be the choice for the Super Bowl XLII halftime show. but nothing materialized. On December 2, 2007, it was officially announced that Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers would be the halftime entertainment with Bridgestone as the show sponsor.

Well, I don't really follow it, but I would probably root for the Giants...I'm usually an "underdog" fan.
