lol. pretty funny to hear of this

AOL SPORTS said:
In a humorously ironic twist, fans of the New England Patriots are demanding that the NFL investigate the final 1:40 of Super Bowl XLII because -- get this -- they feel cheated.

And no, this is not a joke.

According to the disgruntled Patriots fan who created the original petition on petitiononline.com, the game clock should not have stopped following Brandon Jacobs' fourth-and-one plunge and thus, the game should have ended on the sack of Eli Manning with 50 seconds remaining.

This fan, and the other 7,815 (and counting) who have apparently signed this ridiculous petition, were obviously too busy crying in their beer to realize that it was an administrative time-out. The referees were determining whether or not to measure the spot -- something that requires a clocks-stoppage under NFL rules. Once the first down was determined without a measurement, the clock was wound and continued to run.

If anything, using the fan's logic, this petition proves that New England shouldn't have had 35 seconds left on their next possession. If anything, they should have had 29 seconds or less.

But hey, what can you expect from fans who say they love their team at 18-0 and then claim they were bored to tears during the greatest Super Bowl of all time?

thats funny cause i watched the nfl replay on it and i thought they actually took too long to stop the clock...i will say one thing though, that play where eli scrambled outta the sack, Richard Seymour was getting mugged on. I mean straight choked and shit, to call holiding wouldve been an understatement

I must say Krazee I'm impressed, alot of people in your situation would have turned into a whinny bitch. even when people try to start shit with you about the loss you just laugh it off. Its nice to find sport fans who aren't total dicks when it comes to their teams lol

well thats because most fans are just fans of the team that represent them not the sport. if u asked alot of them if they like there team or NFL as a whole they would prolly say there team and they will only watch there team. i've played this sport forever and have a huge respect for it so i went into this superbowl like every other and thats 50/50 on the whole thing and when they lost i was upset cause it was my team but i was also happy to see strahan get one so it's all good. i think we'll be good next year so hopefully we can get another one then but if not i'll always love this sport
