It was a good game. I don't expect less from the Pats or the
Giants, and they always seem to keep it close. Just one of those
matchups. It was kind of funny watching the guy try not to get
into the end zone, but with his foot and ankle problems I wonder
if he could have stopped his own momentum once it got going.

I can't believe how quickly that game ended. Every time I
checked it was the next quarter already, it seemed like.
