Similar feeling, didn't think we'd win either game - incredible when we did. United one is probably more emotional as it was our first CL (in my lifetime) & it completed the treble.

Why do people like you and @Rado_N dislike him so much?The Brady cocksucking is going to be nonstop over here
I don't know anything about this sport but it was clear to me that he single-handedly inspired his team to victory and was the best player on the field?
It feels like anything is possible now. I think the UK is going to win Eurovision this year.
But it's a huge advantage tho esp with defences being tired
For superbowl at least i think both teams Should have a drive
Seen packers lose playoffs twice because they lost a coin toss and Rodgers didn't touch the ball at all
Yeah - was amazing to watch as a neutral so must he sooooooooo good if you're a genuine fan with proper feeling! Enjoy
I don't know this sport so as a neutral observer I think the OT rules are very unfair as so much is dependent on who wins the toss.
The other team should have been allowed the change to respond else it's very unbalanced.

It's the same level of infuriation. No offense, and congrats to you and your team, but you are SO fortunate to have two more Super Bowls than what should have been if not for idiotic unnecessary play calling on the other team. Though, fair play to Brady for taking advantage.
Don't want to sleep now but have work in a few hours
Will be back to bask in our glory. Goodnight all!!

Were Patriots a strong team or is it like Leicester winning the league?
Again Rodgers touched the ball all game long stop pretending he was cheated some how.
Certainly more annoying than hearing about Peyton Manning cocksucking heading into the Denver/Seattle game. That was rightfully shut the feck down that night.
Does it?
They were tied at the end though, that's all that should matter. Winning the coin toss seems like a huge advantage.
For me... Because he's a cheat.
What happened before should not matter.
Likewise the toss winning team have a HUGE advantage, as was proven tonight. Its a very sub optimal and unequal solution.
How? Examples?
Patriots have been one of the best teams in the league for years but we had what looked like no chance that game considering the score in the 4th quarter.
Feel like I've seen an insane amount of great sporting moments in recent times, and in sports I don't watch all that often too. Anomalies or is the skill level just producing these events more often?
They were 14-2 and division champs coming into the playoffs.
Nothing in US sports could ever equal what Leicester did. No promotion/relegation so not possible for a club to rise up a level or two.
Closest would be like Cleveland Browns winning the SB next year. Or say the 76ers winning the Finals in 2018. That's still nothing comparable to Leicester.
What you talking about? Who said he was cheated?
It's just an opinion relax
But one team having the ball extra cos they guessed a coin toss correct seems unfair
If you don't look at it as subtraction but as total points scored. I suppose I could have used a + sign but most should see the gist.

I booked it off thank God. You will be able to find the energy tomorrow when you think about the game.
Do they though?
According to http://www.espn.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/112875/numbers-dont-back-up-patriots-ot-strategy
53.8 chance
Incredible. Can't believe what I just watched.
Detest everything about the Pats, but they're the standard of greatness in the NFL. Brady, the GOAT QB. Belichick, the GOAT NFL coach. Deserved win.
Was a great game.

You must be sooooooooo happy!
Well, he was suspended for the first quarter of the season for Deflategate.
Interesting!
Thanks for explaining
Cubs winning the World Series was definitely an anomaly.
Enjoyed watching the final quarter whilst chatting on the cafe! Thanks all for the education.
Congratulations to New England fans and so sorry to Atlanta fans... Ouch!
Good night

It's a mental rule. Both teams had four quarters to try and win. But you get to OT and based on the flip of a coin one team has an absolutely massive advantage.
Comparisons.
Tennis matches decided by 1 play off game where you flip a coin to see who serves. Mental
Penalty shoot out in soccer where one team gets to take all their penalties first and if they score them all, the other team doesn't get to take theirs. They just lose. Mental
Darts matches decided by a closest to the bull but if the first player hits hit, he wins. Mental.
I know fans of NFL are defensive of the sport because it does come in for a bit of flack. But you can't defend that rule. A teams whole season comes down to the flip of a coin. It's madness.
Numbers slightly out of date. But 33/65 for receiving team as of that article is not a HUGE advantage
Many people will point to deflategate and spygate, but that doesn't really bother me so much. It's the fact that Brady is one of the biggest crybabies in the whole league. Whines to the refs like his family's been weonged every time he takes a good hit. Also, him along with Belichick are notorious for playing for the pass interference calls in order to get the first down or big yardage. They did at the end of the game to set up the first and goal. Fitting. Aside from that, I'm a Denver fan and there is a success-based rivalry between the two teams. So yeah, Brady. One of the greatest for sure, but a total feckhead if you ask me. Good riddance once he retires.

The advantage has to be earned by actually scoring. Some teams may not have the ability to score and wind up punting and getting scored on by the opposition.
Yeah I know nothing about baseball. Couldn't even name a team but even I heard about that so it must have been pretty special.
Add to that, the NFL is the only level of American football that I know of that uses that type of playoff format.
High school - each team gets a possession (from the 10)
College - each team gets a possession (from the 25)
Which was a joke of a thing to begin with, even the overwhelming majority of Brady's peers and former players stated such. It also had zero bearing on the outcome of that Pats beatdown of the Colts. The spygate thing - now that's a legit claim but it falls on Belichick and staff not Brady.
I can't wait until they fecking retire, I feel like a Scouser.
