Super Bowl 2012 final score and recap: Giants beat Patriots, Eli Manning wins MVP award
Last night (Sun., Feb. 5, 2012) the New York Giants once again slayed the beast when they outlasted the New England Patriots to record a 21-17 win at Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis, Indiana.
And Eli Manning, who was 30/40 for 296 yards, 1 TD and 0 INTs, won the MVP award.
It was an amazing game between two teams who have built one of the best Super Bowl rivalries in the history of the NFL. Their two battles, in 2008 and last night, rival that of those engaged in by the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys in the 1970s or the San Francisco 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals in the 1980s.
Tom Brady valiantly attempted to bring his team back from a four point deficit with just one minute remaining, and nearly completed a Hail Mary pass for a touchdown in the closing play of the game to do it. But alas, it was not to be and the Giants are world champions once again.
Remember to watch out for gloating fans today (cough, Jesse Holland, cough, Tom Myers, cough). After the jump, check out all our coverage of Super Bowl XLVI.
SUPER BOWL XLVI
In which New York came furiously out of the gate to establish a 9-0 lead, at one point having run 19 plays to just one for New England.
In which the Patriots came clawing back into the game with the cold efficiency we've come to know from Tom Brady and his band of cohorts.
In which New England continued to run like a well-oiled machine but the Giants continued to chip away with the blue-collar work ethic they've shown since Tom Coughlin has been running the show as head coach.
In which we saw the thrilling conclusion of another great game between two incredible teams. Eli Manning established himself as a future Hall of Famer while Tom Brady was once again unable to finish the job in the biggest game of the year.
After a great game that saw many shifts in momentum between two heavyweights slugging it out to the finish, the Giants pulled out a 21-17 victory four years after defeating the Patriots 17-14 in Arizona.
And there you have it, Maniacs.
So concludes our rare coverage of the NFL. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

I HATE HATE HATE the Patriots so even though my teams were not in the super bowl, just seeing the Pats lose another one was really awesome. The look on cheater Belidick’s face after the game was awesome. It was almost sweeter than when they lost the super bowl after going 18-0. Almost…

The real MVP was Manningham for that catch on the sideline.
"It’s Mark Pavelich calling from the Maximum Fighting Championship,
I’ve just received notice that Drew Fickett or you, I don’t care which one of you fuckers did it, has signed a contract to fight in Strikeforce this fucking weekend. I’m going to get on a fucking plane soon and go where you’re at and choke you the fuck out. I’m telling you right now, I’ve had enough of your fucking shit. First of all, I’ve sent you the fucking pictures and secondly, I placed Drew Fickett in a fight fucking months ago and five weeks prior to my main event of my fucking fight card. You’re going to give me a fucking call tomorrow or I swear I’ll get on a fucking plane and go right where you’re at right now. You’re pissing me off, I’ve been nothing but professional to you motherfuckers and you’re doing this kind of bullshit, alright? Call me back, I’m fucking pissed."
