Personally, I was rooting for the Patriots. I don't follow NFL football but the Super Bowl's pretty big (even down here in NZ) and a friend convinced me to root for the Pats.
And now my other friend, who's a Giants fan, is gonna rub in it in my face. Hooray. xD
(Slightly offtopic note, so ignore this if you wanna. People are saying that the same thing that happened to the Pats could happen to the Boston Celtics, another Massachusetts sports team. The Celtics, like the Pats, are having a tremendous season so far, but the bench and the age of the core players could be disadvantages come playoff time.)
