So will any sports press call the Pat's coach on leaving the field before the game was over?

I wasn't expecting him to necessarily cross over the field and shake the Giant's coach's hand again after the kneel-down but his leaving altogether showed a certain lack of grace/class.

Since the Pat's aren't the annointed ones anymore is it O.K. for the press to start calling their coach an arrogant bastard?

I was a thousand miles away and have poor vision and I saw it. The arrogant bastard left the field before the game was over. Just love that Patriot class.

4. I had my head down after that last incompletion

and then I was buying shots for Giants fans. The TV wasn't even there. :)

As an Iggles fan, how do you feel about the Giants and Eli winning before McNabb? Honest question. I know how *I* feel.

5. Good for the Giants

I'm happy for the whole team. I've always been an NFC fan and sometimes have to remind youngins that the Steelers, Browns and Colts were originally NF"C" teams. An SEC QB winning the super bowl again, very nice. And besides maybe Senator Specter will uncover evidence that McNabb has already won a Super Bowl. Wouldn't it be great if all of us played by the rules.

And how do you feel about a coach departing the field before the Super Bowl was over, not even offering a pat on the back to the winning coach?

6. After the cockup after the incomplete pass

the refs cleared off the field, and Belicheck just kept walking up the tunnel while Eli did the final kneel-down.

8. Yes

There was 0:01 left and a lot of confusion and they had to clear the field for 1 kneeldown and he was gone by then.

9. When there was a second left on the clock...

and they were trying to clear the field, Hoodie headed for the tunnel.

He's a good coach, but he's also an asshole. Have enough grace to face up to a loss, for cryin' out loud.

3. Among the most classless diplays I've ever witnessed

But so far I haven't heard the talking heads discussing this latest example of Pats' "sportsmanship".
