Behind the Scene Photos from Super Bowl XLII

As most of you have heard, my camera never made it to Super Bowl XLII. Luckily, my colleague and good friend Scott Horrigan had his camera, and took some amazing photographs.

Tough, tough loss

Well, hats off the Giants. It's extremely difficult to talk about the Patriots right now, but I'll try my best.

I arrived in Arizona on Thursday afternoon via a team chartered flight, and knew almost immediately this was going to be one long trip as they somehow lost my luggage. But I didn't let that get to me. I told myself I would end up in a better position than where I started, and that seems to be the case.

There were many ups (welcome party with the Krafts, dinner at Morton's and Maggiano's, winning at the casino), and many downs (loss of luggage, loss of the game, every bus getting lost), but all-in-all I had a great time.

All the credit in the world must be given to the Giants. New York's last drive will go down as one of the greatest comebacks in Super Bowl history. Eli Manning is indeed legite. He's the real deal. In the end, the Giants obviously wanted to win more, and they earned every once of the victory.

There are numerous "what ifs" we can talk about. Belichick not going for the field-goal on 4th down... Matt Light's ridiculous false starts... But why bother with all that. The Pats lost. What really kills me though is that I never saw any urgency from the Patriots. The greatest offensive machine in decades only putting 7 points on the board through 3 quarters?!?! Weak!

It's still to early for me to talk about the loss. In other news, I did win my fantasy football league! I'll be putting up photos from the trip in the next couple days. As always, thanks for checking in!
