Best. Super. Bowl. Ever.
The whole game was like the fourth quarter of a great game. And it was almost all positive plays. the only negative one was the ball that was bobbled into the hands of the Patriot for an interception. Even the strip-sack was a great play, not a bobble.
I'm very happy for the city of Philadelphia, which has been waiting 57 years for this. Only the Cardinals (1947) and the Lions (1957) have waited longer. All those years I rooted to Donovan to win a Super Bowl - i'm glad his team could win one at least. And i'm sick of Brady and the Patriots winning.
It must be strange for Vikings fans to see their town full of celebrating Eagles fans. But the Vikings could not have won this game.
On the two controversial catches: I think the first was a catch under the rules because the guy was switching the ball from one hand to another. There may have been a split second when he wasn't griping it but he wasn't bobbling it either. The second one certainly seemed like a non-catch under the rules, which are about surviving first contact with the ground, (Jesse James in Pittsburgh did survive first contact: he didn't survive the third contact). Calling him a "runner" because he was touched seems strange. if the defender was draped all over him would you call him a runner? But i'm glad they got the call because I wanted the eagles to win. Now the NFL needs to change the rule: if he's got control, It's a catch. if he loses it in bounds and before he breaks the plane, it's a fumble, unless it was caused by the ground.
