Now, it was a wild card playoff game between a team that hadn't done much in a while (Raiders) and a team that hadn't done much... ever (Patriots) - so no reason to expect what ended up transpiring... but that's the beauty of sports: Like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates, ya never know what yer gonna git. As noted, to most people, that game will forever be remembered as The Tuck Rule Game. For me, it's The Lone Pats Game I Went To With My Dad. I like my title better. But back to SB 42, my boss is a Giants season ticket holder who got picked in the lottery and thus got two tickets at face value (um... it cost him less than $12k). As it happens, his oldest son goes to the University of Arizona - about 90 miles from the SB site - so they went together. Like King and his dad, they got extra delight from having attended *that* game together. It is well (well... the Pats losing is not well - but the sappy family stories that resulted are... you get what I mean).
