Twitterverse Revels In Patriots' Suffering
So that’s that. Eli Manning struck a blow for little brothers everywhere. The Hooded Devel and Tom Terrific failed to win another Super Bowl.
New York City celebrated. New England wept. And this is what folks typed on Twitter after the New York Football Giants closed out the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Here is the sampling:
Jason McIntyre: “Tom Brady: 3 Super Bowl wins pre-Gisele. 0 Super Bowl wins with Gisele. #ItmeansNothing #Relax #JetsFan.”
Sports Pickle: “Do you prefer Giseleko Ono or Yoko Bundchen?”
Rain Wilson: “All those Patriots Superbowl XLVI CHAMPIONS hats & shirts are already on their way to the Congo.”
The Fake ESPN: “Giants ‘We're Going To DisneyWorld!’ Patriots ‘We're Going to Haiti To Hand Out Misprinted T-shirts!’”
Eric Stangel: “Eli Manning has more #SuperBowl rings than Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, Dan Fouts, Fran Tarkenton & Jim Kelly combined.”
Clay Travis: “Love Brandon Jacobs saying, ‘We decapitated them,’ of the Patriots while holding a son in each arm.”
Drew Magary: “Tom Coughlin is laughing on TV right now and you can tell that it's causing him pure ANGUISH.”
Steve Rushin: “Not saying Tom Coughlin is the oldest coach in the NFL, but Betsy Ross sewed his challenge flag.”
Mark Cuban: “Good teams make the playoffs, the hot team wins the championship.”
Todd Behrendt: “They seriously need to disinfect the Lombardi Trophy before they give it to the Giants.”
Jon Heyman: “Sure, Eli had his day. But by tomorrow, brother Peyton will be back as the Manning in the headlines.”
Sports Pickle: “Five more Super Bowls and Eli may edge past Cooper to become Archie and Olivia's 2nd favorite son.”
Darren Rovell: “Manning's marketing guy Alan Zucker had to be cringing with that Chevy Corvette presentation. Eli gets paid by Toyota.”
Jennifer Floyd Engel: “Would have been funny if Eli had said he was leaving the car so his bro could get the hell out of town and away from Irsay.”
Sports Pickle: “Awkward. Eli only has his learner's permit.”
Ross Tucker: “Eli has the facial hair of a 13-year old.”
Les Carpenter: “I just got run over by Gisele. There are worse ways to make a living.”
Drew Magary: “Mario Manningham HAD THE SECOND LUCKIEST CATCH EVAHHHH! NO ONE DENIES THIS.”
Jeff Passan: “Wes Welker: drop. Aaron Hernandez: drop. Deion Branch: drop. Chad Ochocinco: catch. What the hell?”
Sports Pickle: “Welker could catch better if his hands weren't covered in grit and scraps.”
Joe Posnanski: “The Drive ... The Immaculate Reception ... The Catch ... And finally: The Reluctant Touchdown.”
Dale Murphy: “Craziest thing . . . Never seen a guy so sad after scoring a TD in the Super Bowl . . .”
Eric Stangel: “Patriots let Giants score. Sometimes I tell myself that's what my Chargers do . . .”
Awful Announcing: “The next Smash commercial may be the one that causes me to throw the TV out the window.”
Steve Young: “Giants have too many men on the field. Damn you, world overpopulation!”
Sports Pickle: “Woodhead, Welker, Edelman ... good luck on that Hail Mary! Maybe get some players above 5-foot-4.”
Darren Rovell: “The Giants win should ensure that Vegas will lose $ just like they did in 2008. Longshot Giants odds of as much as 100/1 in midseason.”
Onion Sports Network: “BREAKING: Super Bowl Ends As NBC Runs Out Of Commercials To Air.”
Sports Pickle: “Brady has really gotten good at throwing deep interceptions.”
Tripping Olney: “TOM BRADY WILL NOW GO HOME TO HIS SUPERMODEL WIFE. TOUGH LUCK FOR HIM.”
Richard Deitsch: “And how's your night going, Rex Ryan?”
Mike Wilbon: “Seeing Bill Belichick humbled really is great, especially after cutting a player the night before the Super Bowl . . .”
Gregg Doyel: “Alex Silvestro, the DL signed after Belichick released Underwood last night, didn't play. Typical.”
Sports Pickle: “Hope you enjoyed those 4 days of relaxed, happy Belichick.”
The Fake ESPN: “We hope the Bengals smoke weed and the Raiders assault some people in the offseason or we'll have to start watching hockey for material.”
Rain Wilson: “Aaron Hernandez's sleeve tattoos read 'loser' in seven different languages!”
Steve Young: “Despite the loss, Newt Gingrich is claiming the Patriots won't drop out.”
The Fake ESPN: “Can we please get back to Tim Tebow already?!”
