Eric Shannon, Sports EditorWinner: Patriots 6-4 in OTMVP: Asante SamuelQuotable: “Because I’ve always wanted to see safety No. 5 win it in overtime. But we all know who’s really going to win anyway.”

Edward Lewis, Assistant Sports EditorWinner: Patriots 38-17MVP: Tom BradyQuotable: “It’s simple, the Giants are lucky to be here and the Patriots are a team of destiny. Look for the trio of Randy Moss, Wes Welker, and Donté Stallworth to dominate a banged-up New York secondary all day long.”

Devin Kunysz, Editorial AdvisorWinner: Patriots 27-17MVP: Wes WelkahhhQuotable: “I hope Tom Petty’s head doesn’t explode from all the publicity.”

Justin Lafferty, Managing EditorWinner: Patriots 31-14MVP: Wes WelkerQuotable: “In my perfect world, this Super Bowl would go to five overtimes, the players would be too exhausted to continue and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell would throw up his hands and declare it a tie. But, since somebody’s got to win, it’s probably going to be the Patriots.”

Mike Menninger, Assistant City EditorWinner: Patriots 54-27MVP: Tom “Calvin Klein” BradyQuotable: “A survey conducted by the Boston Herald found that Patriots fans drink Amstel Light, whereas Giants fans slug back shots of whiskey. By this reasoning alone, it’s clear the team supported by the classier drunks will always come out on top.”
