Comments on what might've actually gone down as a legit Super Bowl...

And, if that's the case, that'd be the first one since One Yard Short (Rams-Titans).

The reason I say that:

There were at least four questionable calls during the course of the game that went against the Giants:

• 2nd quarter, about five minutes left, 9-3 Giants. Giants are driving and are in New England territory, and they get a first down to get in outer-field goal range. So what happens? A questionable holding call on Mr. Boothe sets them back to their own territory, and an incomplete pass later gets the Patriots the ball back.
• Next drive, about 3 or so minutes left. Ball about midfield, and New England is about to get a first down when Waters is called for holding. What he should've been called for was a 15 and possibly a toss: He had his arm clotheslining the guy in the neck!
  
• Same drive, 15 seconds to go til Madonna rocks the Super Bowl. (And she did!) Brady back to pass, and has five seconds to find Woodhead in the end zone for the touchdown. Of course, it's not hard when the main pass rusher is being dragged down by his arm.
• The worst one of them all was the fourth-quarter missed pass interference call that even Cris Collingsworth caught. There were a couple of them that I think the Patsies got away with, but that one was just blatant!!

So, when Mr. Bradshaw can't figure out how to surrender himself at the 2 or 3 yard line and scores, you just knew the ball was going to be in the air at the gun toward the end zone.

Fortunately, and I say this honestly, the referees' and league's plans for the Patriots' canonization of Brady and Belicheat will have to wait.

Of course, there is one way this could've gone the other way:

Some of the play of those wide receivers for the Patriots was awfully bad, borderline suspicious.

But this game has got a better shot at legitimacy than most Super Bowls.
