Who else thinks Super Bowl XLII would make a good movie?

Like the entire season.





The movie starts with the AFC Championship between the Colts and the Patriots. There's a 5-10 minute segment of the Colts game-winning drive, followed by Tom Brady's interception to end the game. The reporters comment on how the Colts were destined to beat the Patriots to get to the Super Bowl and how no one will doubt that Peyton is one of the greatest QBs ever.





During the credits, a catchy tune plays. The credits play over highlights of Eli Manning. It starts with Eli's draft day, with media commenting on his refusal to play for the Chargers and the trade to the Giants. It continues with reels of Eli's struggles through the years and the media's doubt that he will become a good QB.





Movie starts out with stuff I don't feel like thinking up right now. Something about the Patriots off-season recruitment for a ';super team.';





There's a lot of commentary starting early about the Patriots and the Colts being undefeated. They're the two titans. The Patriots are seen as the ';evil'; team as they humiliate teams by running up the score. There's also a lot of elements about Eli going from boyhood to manhood.





Then comes the epic Colts/Patriots game. It's a game of good v evil. They each play hard, but the Patriots are just too much. After that game, the Patriots break free and an undefeated season becomes very real.





The Giants then play the Patriots in the last game of the regular season. Eli keeps it close, but Brady's patent last-minute drive wins the game. Eli tells his team, ';I know we can beat them, we just need another chance.';





So the Patriots sweep everyone in the playoffs, and the Giants creep by the Packers by a field goal. Two weeks until the Super Bowl, the Giants are a huge underdog and the Patriots dream of a perfect season is almost complete.





The Super Bowl comes. Not a whole lot until the fourth quarter. Giants are up, but then Tom Brady has another last-minute drive. Everybody watching is starting to give up hope for the Giants, but then Eli has a drive to match Brady's. When the Patriots get the ball back, Brady can't do it again, and the Giants win.





People comment on how Eli will never be doubted again, how Brady and the Pats are human, and how Brady couldn't get past the Mannings in the last two years.





Movie ends with Eli talking to Peyton or something.Who else thinks Super Bowl XLII would make a good movie?
I think the amazing Santonio Holmes catch in the past Superbowl would be better :P
