<p>Picked Giants. Wife unit and son picked New England. Won $1 each. Received payment of $1. Will have to wait 6 weeks for another $ to arrive from NJ.</p>
<p>Ha ha, Simba. Congrats! H just yelled and came into the room saying “2nd best Super Bowl I’ve ever seen.” Top best for him was something to do with when the Rams won, I think. Good luck collecting that 2nd dollar!</p>
<p>GEEEEEEE - Men!!!</p>
<p>I was more worried about the first $. Wife unit has a tendency to renege.</p>
<p>Our neighbors across the street always host a big superbowl party, which includes some betting. I was going to bet on the Giants (didn’t several of the Patriots have the flu earlier this week? That’s what I’d heard). Anyway, the neighbors daughter came down with a bad stomach bug earlier today, and they cancelled their party at the last minute. My H offered to move the party (there were over 100 people planning to attend) to our house!! :eek: (Did I mention we are in the middle of getting parts of the interior of our house repainted? ) Well, most of the people had been notified of the cancelled party, so we didn’t end up with 100+ people at our house on a few hrs notice. So, I didnt get to place my bet… but I think I came out the winner on this one in the long run!</p>
<p>haha simba…I won $4! :D</p>
<p>I am a football fan, sad that my present (and past) teams weren’t there. Carolina…before that, Eagles…before that, Bears…before that, 49’ers…and before that and originally, the Bears. Although the rest of my family was rooting for the Patriots, I was yelling for the Giants (Go, Eli!!! I was giving him a pep talk at the end of the game—“this is the changing moment in your CAREER, boy”).</p>
<p>H and I had a bet on the game, but I can’t say what I won, (she blushes)! ;)</p>
<p>My husband won his office pool - $100! Now, if you take away the money that we both put in two different pools, we’re still ahead $90! We always go to our neighbors party, the majority were Giants fans (since our Eagles were not playing) so it was a great game - at least those last 15 minutes. The only problem with going to a large party is that you can’t hear the commercials. That play by Eli Manning when he broke the tackle(s) was so good!</p>
<p>Another positive point to living in the Detroit area - we never have to worry about whether or not the Lions will win the Super Bowl. 42 years and never been there.</p>
<p>“The only problem with going to a large party is that you can’t hear the commercials.”</p>
<p>We said that we had to pick up one of our kids and left at half-time…When you are actually watching the game, it’s a little difficult with 65 people in the room…BTW, the commercials are online today at <a href=“http://www.myspace.com/superbowlads[/url]”>www.myspace.com/superbowlads</a></p>
