Deadspin
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. And then Manning finds Plaxico ... and ... well, what can else can you say but: Holy shit. Eli Manning, guys: Eli Freaking Manning.
Jesus: We need to sit down.
(We're just going to revel in Eli Manning — Eli Manning! — becoming an immortal in the span of 15 minutes for the rest of the night, but those looking for their Patriots schadenfreude will find it after the jump.)

Dammit.
Some of us have to work in the morning... Could you please keep it down?
who wants first shift on the Supermike suicide watch?
Patriots suck?
Good for Eli. Wins one for us underachieving little brothers everywhere!
Gisele don't do 18-1.
Manning Dynasty> Bush Dynasty
HEY, C'MON I'M NOT DONE LIVEBLOGGING!
[save]
Okay, I'm done.
Somewhere, Mercury Morris is cackling maniacally.
I hope Belichick flies into a building. Fucking cunt.
Can we confirm that the Sports Guy is alive? Good lord put him on suicide watch.
Supermike or Britney, who's first?
GIIIIIIIIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fucking amazing. Eli Manning is my nbew favorite player. And i'm a Redskins fan.
@cowbell204: really classy about leaving early and all that...
Holy Shit indeed, Will, holy shit indeed.
These Patriots don't even belong in the conversation with the 1948 Browns.
Eli hasn't been this excited since he discovered a complete Russell Wright tea set in a junk store in Canajoharie, N.Y.
being within the point spread would have been enough.
this was more exciting than b.k.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I've said it 100 times you just can't give Eli Manning time at the end of the game.
Awkward...
@cowbell204:

(lest I forget)
Eli still looks like a fetus...a very happy, Super Bowl winning QB fetus! I have officially retired my nickname for him ("Lesser" Manning). (Frontrunner? Hell yeah.)
How will Simmons rate this choke job?
I think i'm going to be sick.
Because i'm so excited and all.
*breathes* aaahahahahahahahahahaha *and I'm a Cowboys fan
Squash anyone? Anyone up for a game of squash? Eli, why you look like you're ready to play.
So there IS a God, I should really start going to church more.
/probably won't but still damn what a game
As someone who has never watched an NFL game in its entirety until tonight, let me just say: Jesus, that was cool.
The ball never lies.
If you want to make fun of Pats fan make it me because I'm finishing a handle of vodka tonight. I may not wake up until Thursday but whatever.
@Wasted Talent: Nice Lagwagon "Duh" avatar.
I just told my friend from Boston (and yes, he is a Masshole) that Mercury Morris, Bob Griese, and my Dolphins-fan roommate would like to have a bottle of champagne with him.
As a Cowboy fan this kills me but....
Here's to you Eli!
@sharky: Thank you, thank you.

Belicheck wanted to go check the video he had his guy in section 103 recording, and then cut the sleeves off more hoodies... no time to be a man and stay around for the hand shake...
"Must cut the sleeves off more hoodies... Must cut the sleeves off more hoodies!!!"
Has Gisele dumped Brady yet?
Eli's escape > The Immaculate Reception
Yeah, i said it.
That attitude that Belichek showed at the end is exactly why he shouldn't have won... that and he had on that bright red patriots hoodie instead of his trademark gray one.
Mercury Morris is going to be unbearable tomorrow morning
Great now we have to deal with the damn Dolphins for another year.
As a Dolphins fan, this excites me a lot, as a gambler, this excites me a lot, as someone who hates the Patriots, this excites me a lot...
Douchebag>Belichek
Thanks Belichick, maybe you can stay for the whole game next time.
Also, why is Doug Williams' jacket so short.
Schedenfreude: it feels so good.
@ralphus: I know it does but still...hahahahahahahahahahahaha
doug williams is like the king of cartoons!
@stealofthedraft:
Schadendreude, silly.
@stealofthedraft:
I'm drunk...
Call me corny but I like the new (few years old I guess) trophy presentation.
Is the "House" logo necessary?
18-1 is still good, Pats fans. Yeah...
keep telling yourselves that.
As irritating as it is being an Eagles fan watching the Giants win yet another Super Bowl, it was fun watching the Patriots get knocked back to earth on the biggest night of the season.
Carl Brutaninandilewski, this one's for you!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simmons' complaint tomorrow -- Eli was in the grasp and it should have been called a sack. The Pats D obviously let up on him b/c they thought the play was over, as it should have been.
Douche.
Liar...the world didn't expect a great game...they expected a Patriots blowout...
"Besides antiquing with Mom, this is the greatest night in the history of my life!" - Elisha
That was fucking amazing. That is all.
Even though i love the Redskins, tonight, i'm a Giants fan. I'm also drunk.
As a Charger fan, this almost makes me more mad than if the Patriots had finished it 19-0. Bounced two years in a row by a team that can't seal the deal. Yes. I'm bitter.
i think coughlin was expecting an open mouth kiss from bradshaw...
is this the wrong time to point out that Kate Mara is a hot piece of ass? Over/Under on her posing suggestively with Lombardi Trophy in Maxim?
Checking in from Super Bowl party central to say; YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! YEAH! YEAH! FUCK YEAH!
SUCK MY DIIIIIIIIICK, BILL BELICHICK AND TOM BRADY!!!
STILL ONLY ONE UNDEFEATED TEAM AND THATS THE MIAMI MOTHERFUCKING DOLPHINS!!!!
Stupid Caps Lock.
Anywho, Eli Manning just took a shit on all his critics and there's nothing they can say or do about it.
Good for you, Eli Manning.
Good for you.
PS: DIE IN A FIRE, BILL BELICHICK!!!
@ceedat: You're right...hahahahahahahahahahahahahwhooooooohahahhahhahhahahhahahha....ahhh laughter take the pain away.
