Favorite non-Bears Super Bowl?

I don't like either one of these teams ... but as this game approached I wondered what my favorite non-Bears SB was? I'd have to say Super Bowl XXXIV, Rams-Titans. Not that I loved either team, but that was an awesome game. Watched highlights of it again last night, Eddie George was something else.

I loved...

2001. Before the Pats were annoying and when I was at peak Rams hatred.

Yep,

that was a good one as well. I didn't like the Rams and the Pats were still the Underdog back then.

How times have changed.

AT half, Eli Manning

8/15, 1 INT (not really his fault, tho on the pick). I wonder if Don Banks is going to call Eli the 'worst QB evah'? Or is such a title reserved only for Rex?

Both QB's kind of sucking, for that matter.

awesome game

i was rooting harder for the giants in that 2nd half then i remember rooting for the bears at any point of last seasons superbowl. that is probably my favorite non-bears superbowl minus that rams/titans one.

I think the Giants did all us Bears fans afavor

They knocked the Cowboys, Packers out of the playoffs and ruined the Patriots perfect season. How about Belichick leaving the field before the game ended that showed some real class.

Give the Giants credit...

especially on defense, but what a bat-shit crazy play on that escaped sack and hail mary throw...

Great game ...

at least the 2nd half anyway. 1st half stunk, but last quarter of game was especially action-packed.

I still can't believe the New York f'ing Giants are Super Bowl champs. NY Giants? We coulda/shoulda beaten the SB champs, how could the Pats not pull it off?

In any case, congrats Gints. Impressive job stopping Pats offense, and great last drive.
