You mean there's anywhere other than Four Kings people would go? 

I must admit, the pundemonium of watching the match at Arizona does appeal, but I'll be at Four Kings as per usual.

Giants win...superb D, and great clutch passing from Eli Manning.
Sensational game really, Brady eat your heart out.

Was it as big as a choke as the all blacks?

Result-wise, yes, but TBH, the Giants dominated from start to finish.

And not just Manning's part, which as you rightly say was superb, but David Tyree's catch was amazing as well - the ball was high and he caught it one-handed against his helmet in mid-air, and had composure to get the second hand on the ball while being flipped in the air by Harrison and landing heavily on his back ove Harrison...on the replay it looked like he could have ended up with a broken back/spine, but he never let go of the ball. Superb commitment from both Manning and Tyree.

How the hell he made that play i will never know, the catch was just as incredible!!! Great game one that will be remembered for a long time.

Three for me, and two for them.

The tagline or motto was 'Who wants it more' and that play personified that. Perhaps sport needs more taglines because the tagline to the Chappel Hadlee series last year was 'Anything can happen' and pretty much anything and everything did happen.

Three for me, and two for them.

Yep, a classic from Stirling Sharpe...something along the lines "I don't have a play for 4th and 15 to win the Superbowl".

the final score from the giants was a play they have run all year, with Pax hittin the backside of the endzone after faking a cut-in route, this time tho.....dam Eli threw it to early but who cares!

Play of the Game 1: Eli gettin out of that 4 man pressure to hit Tyree.
Play of the Game 2: Alford sack on Brady........top of helmet + chest of qb = GET TO BED!

props to Strahan and Umenyiora, they had Brady scared from the get go.
