Abdul, please don't let these self-satisfied elites tell you how you should or should not have felt. Thank you for your post. You're a good fan.

5 Rings for Brady!!

I can relate to the feeling, although I am an atheist. That win over the Raiders was a defining moment in Patriots history for me, it was the greatest game in Patriots history for me.

I feel so strongly about that game because it really felt like divine retribution over our demons, and the Raiders, who stole one from us the same way in 1976.

Without that game, who knows how things turn out. Maybe pretty much the same, maybe not. But I felt like we deserved that moment because up until then everything always blew up in our face.

It felt like the start of our dynasty. And it was.

Deus Irae

God hates the Raiders just like almost everyone else outside of Oakland.

After we got the call overturned on the "tuck," i knew we were going to win. By the time we lined up for that field goal, I was wasted and didn't realize the enormity of that kick. That Super Bowl was llike 10 New Year's Eves, 10 Birthdays and 10 Christmases rolled into one day.

There is no god and if there was I can't imagine he'd give a ***** whether or not someone made a field goal, jeesh what an ignorant statement and an even more ignorant post.

Why humans persist in believing in the supernatural is beyond me.

I only wish I had the deep confident insight into the universe that some posters claim.

What an arrogent statement and even more arrogent post.

Just cause the guy mentioned god a few times doesn't mean you have to attack him for his beliefs. The uknown is the uknown, you know no more then anyone else. This is not even the forum for this discussion anyway.

As for the kick, It is IMO the greatest kick in Football History. I am not sure when, But I will probably be dead and gone before another one is made that will rival it in sheer improbability. Deffinitly one of my fondest Sports memories.

I was so ticked at Brady's apparent fumble I popped out the tape I had been recording and had the notion of devising some cathartic-but-safe means of destroying the thing. After several minutes futile searching, I gave up and decided to turn on the TV one last time to bid farewell to the season. Just then I saw the ref announcing the call reversal and slammed that tape back in to resume recording. God or not, I thought that was a fairly remarkable bit of fortune/coincidence...

Deep insight into the universe is not required, only reason, logic, and a modicum of intelligence.
