The Carolina Panthers may have been known as the "Cardiac Cats" but the New England Patriots showed why they are simply the BEST. I have to admit I was shocked at how well the Panthers played. I anticipated a slow start which it was. I anticipated both teams playing conservative but they were anything but. Both teams came out throwing. The Patriots were far more successful in the first half but Vinatieri had 2 pathetic attempts at FGs. Which signaled right away that this was gonna be a nail bitter. The poise in which Delhomme showed definitely resembled that of Brady of 01 but to me more closely resembled shades of Brett Favre. He was decisive & clearly had confidence in his WRs ability to get open. The 2nd half the Pats looked in control again but Brady threw a ball off his back foot. Nothing good can come out of that & it didnt. The Panthers took the ensuing drive in for a TD & put the Patriots behind for the 1st time in months. Brady however was not rattled & got the Pats right back in with a TD to Vrabel of all people. This game was so exciting you almost had to expect overtime & Carolina tried everything in their power to send us to the 1st ever in Super Bowl history by tying the game with yet another TD. But with 1:08 left the Brady Bunch marched into FG range & Adam did the rest.

I don't know which was more disgraceful the Patriots secondary or Justin exposing Janet's right breast on national tv at half time OR the naked  ref that pranced onto the field prior to the 2nd half kick off. lol Anyway the Patriots ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPS & that's all that matters. I won't use the "D" word but I will say that THIS SEASON was one of the MOST remarkable in HISTORY!

I originally thought the whole halftime show looked pre-scripted. Of course I thought Janet had a pastie on when I saw it on TV. When I saw the pics online today, I realized maybe it wasn't scripted. There was no pastie - just a big nipple ring. www.drudgereport.com
Also, watching the game on TV, I saw the streaker on the field. At first I thought it was the kicker - I saw him toss what looked to be a towel off to the side (although it seemed awfully large - and that was what first caught my attention). Then I thought he was warming his leg up (but it looked more like a Riverdance thing)... then I finally realized what was going on right before they cut away.

Just making a quick drive-by  or, should I say, pit-stop! Anyway, CONGRATS, bakes, on getting a little more Super-Bowl bling-bling! The Patriots are the well-deserved '04 champions.  AND, moreover, MUCH thanks for your Patriots reports throughout the season right up until the VERY end! Actually, that thanks goes out to all of you who have contributed weekly team reports to "the Gridiron"...  even though you did not have to do them for as long as bakes here.  
Over and Out from the Orient,

Alright, I (of course ) have got to chime in regarding this Janet Jackson titty flasher  thing. When are these people going to realize how immature and irresponsible their behavior is and how it affects us and makes us look as a (civilized... refined?) society? Look, we are an anally-retentive  society when it comes to sex, for sure, and we are starting to crack at the seams, it appears. That having been said, the forums these people are choosing to "explore" their sexuality, i.e. manifest their sexual immaturity, are very poor. Shouldn't we at least try to shelter the most fragile of us, our children? Can't these goings-on be restricted to arenas where children, and families for that matter, are not supposed to be? The Super Bowl is a FAMILY event; keep your  -clad tit in your shirt, for Christ's sake, and stop "exploring" your sexuality (as all the articles on this read) in public... on MTV and make a couple porn flicks to get it out of your system if need be!
Step down.

Agreed!

He was saying how he didn't understand all the fuss being made about the Janet issue. In Jamaica, there are topless women in the newspapers and it's not a big deal. But in America we are willing to put all sorts of violence on TV and not think twice about it. |

Regarding the sex issue, I think it's more about the mindset behind it (in the U.S.). The Jamaicans are topless for totally different reasons than Janet Jackson, Brit and Madonna's kissing, etc., etc. Janet Jackson, Brittney, Madonna are admittedly "exploring their sexuality"  (as if); the Jamaicans are just letting it "all hang out", mon!  Along those lines, analyzing these things across cultures doesn't usually work well. You can't apply one culture's standards/mores to another. In any event, I'm sure you get that, Philly. Again, what I am more "concerned" about (and you possibly are too) is the (unhealthy) psyche behind why our American chicks are doing this shit.
