I just turned it on and the Pats are down 10-7. They only scored on one of 7 posessions so far. Looks like the directors instructed them to keep it close for better ratings. For those of you who believe that football isn't scripted (just like wrestling) then please ignore the previous sentence.

I don't believe it's rigged.

Pats just scored a TD, are up by 4. Giants get the ball back with all 3 of their timeouts and 4 minutes remaining in the game. Classic nailbiter finish. The blowout superbowl games of the early 90's are gone, they will all be close from now on.

35 seconds left, Giants just scored. Pats down by 3. I smell a tiebreaker in the making. Or perhaps not. ;)

Great Game, Fun to watch for even a non-fan.

I don't believe it's rigged.
I agree. There are way too many people involved, team members who want to make a mark for themselves, and all the other folks involved who depend on the outcome (whatever that may be).
The wrestling is a fixed venue with only a few participants in each event.

cool, so much for the predictions. I liked the game and the commercials were fun. :D
For those who dont know, us up here in Canada have had the commercials blocked from the US feed for like forever, now that we have digital TV and US channels direct, we can actually see the good commercials. instead of normal, boring commercials plugged in to the spots.

I thought it was a really good game also. I went and watched it with the neighbor. I like the tough defensive games. Wrestling is scripted?:?

I haven't watched a game as a "fan" in probably 20 years. The only time I watch the Superbowl now, is if I get invited to a Superbowl party. Then I'm usually just eatin' food, drinkin' beer, and BS'n with friends.
I didn't watch one minute of this year's game. I was out in my shop workin' on old saws, and dinkin' around with my hot rod truck. Just another Sunday.

Could be a lot worse OTG, both of our teams here in northern California aren't a threat to anyone.

True. Pitchers and Catchers report in two weeks! and of course the Celts still look O.K............

My take on the game in a nutshell:
If I had that many incomplete passes, I'd still be single.
'Nuff said. GRRRRRR
