OK, we could watch football for the next 20 years, and we're not sure we'd ever see a play as amazing and improbable and insane and ridiculous and surreal and let's-face-it-gang batshit crazy as watching Eli Manning escape that sack and David Tyree make that catch.

... They constantly creamed Brady (29 of 48 for 266 yards, 1 TD) and when he did have some time his receivers were covered like sleeping bags.

On the Giants side, Eli Manning, the slouching New York QB, had two touchdown passes, and played gutty football on the ...

... That was one of the most exciting Super Bowls I’ve ever seen.
I came into the game expecting a blowout by the Patriots. Instead, we had the Giants outplay the Patriots.
That Giant defense was incredible. And Eli Manning has been fooling us all along, maybe he really is a great quarterback. I hope I never forget that play he made to David Tyree on the game-winning drive — a great job by Eli to avoid the sack, and an amazing catch as well. If this wasn’t the biggest Super Bowl upset of my lifetime, I don’t know what ...
