^ Haha, and I thought I was biased by almost putting the Rams-Patriots game in there.

The part I loved the most was Belichek's gutty corners knocking the living hell out of the Rams' receivers, Faulk, and Warner. Not mentioning the ending all together (Warner to Prohl, Vinatieri's field goal), there were bigger plays in the Rams/Pats game (Law's pick 6 on Warner, the 99 yard fumble recovery that was called back) than in the Giants/Pats game.

Simply put, I was pleasantly surprised in the Rams/Pats game. Last year, I picked the Giants to win the SB and wasn't at all surprised when they won. That game was uglier to me. Considering the background the game was played under and that it was the first MAJOR Super Bowl upset in some time and marked the start of a dynasty and the death of another one, the significance is huge to me.
I think the difference between the Pats/Rams and Pats/Giants is that the Giants won it on a TD while the Rams won it on a FG. And who can forget "The Catch"? That was a better play than anything in the Rams/Pats game.

Likewise, the Giants/Pats game was more hard-hitting and physical.

Re: Greatest Super Bowls?

It's funny seeing lists that are dominated by Super Bowls in the 2000s. The game tonight was not a top 5 Super Bowl.
