Giants beat Green Bay!
 

Now THAT was a football game!

I'm really a Dallas Cowboys fan, but with them out I had to root for NY. A truly nail-biting experience tonight!

Being a native Minnesotan, I have a hard time rooting for the Packers. But I was pulling for them this year. I would have liked to see Favre spoil the Pats perfect season. Instead he sealed his own fate.

To tie it to the Internet Tablet. I sat on the sofa here in Berlin Germany (it's 4:30am) and talked to a friend in Minneapolis with my N800 over Skype for most of the second half. Really made the world seem small.

And by the way, there is a 3-5 second delay from what he saw. So when he yells "Interception!!!", I'm just seeing the ball leave the QB's hands.

Ha! That's basically exactly what I did! Only I'm in Frankfurt and you're in Berlin. Close enough!

Did they have the game live in Germany?
Or you had to use slingbox? I wish we have slingbox running on the tablet!

being from indiana i would have loved to see the colts beat the pats , and have a brother against brother showdown at the superbowl , THAT would have been a great game!!

Re: Giants beat Green Bay!
 

Yeah, it was live. (well, 3-5 seconds delayed:))


I didn't even check if the Pats/Chargers were on.


Are there any options out there for TV? Or any decent way to mask your IP address without major compromises on your bandwidth. I always run into websites tracking my IP address to Germany and can't even watch archived video from the US. Sucks. I'd also like to use that 3-month US Skype coupon - but it's kind of worthless with them tracking my IP address.

I'm a Seahawk fan. Since the Packers seem to have the Seahawks number, I loved seeing the Packers and Favre play a crumby game against the Giants. I thought it was sweet poetry that Favre threw an interception in overtime to cost the Packers the game because a very similar play cost the Seahawks a playoff game in Greenbay in 2004. Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck won the toss to get the ball in overtime and proclaimed that the Seahawks wanted the ball and they were going to score. Then he proceeded to throw an interception that cost them the game. Funny how things come around in the other direction sometimes.

Let me be honest. I hate every member of the 1986 Bears team. They were arrogant and in your face. And I can see how many people would feel the same way about the Patriots this year (although they were no where near as arrogant). There was a sense of entitlement, and the media treated Tom Brady like he was Madonna's twin sister.

But considering the years we have gone through (my whole life until recently) with the Pats always losing, to have them be this close to a RECORD (caps for enunciation, not for yelling) it really was amazing.

I'm happy for the Manning family, and for folks in upstate New York (and I rooted for the Colts last year because they were such a great team) but hating on the Pats when you know some of us root for them isn't nice.

Just to be clear, I'm not crying, and it was a good game, and the Giants deserved the win, and you weren't harsh, but there seems to be a lot of acrimony against the Pats and I think a more historical perspective would help clear it up.
