Summary: A good overview of the 2001 Pats Season...
Review: As I write this, the Patriots have won their 3rd superbowl in 4 years during the salary cap era. What an amazing game by both the Pats and Eagles (though I'm glad the Pats won). It gives you some insights and clips of some of the Pats teams from the 1976 Patriots as well as highlights of Gino Cappelletti and Steve Grogan. Just amazing to think what has happened with the Pats. I also have to quote and old review that I saw here, with my reply below:

Such a shame, January 23, 2003
Reviewer: A viewer
Being a St. louis Rams fan it hurt me to see them lose a super bowl to a below average team that they should have beat. But, I guess even losers have to win sometime.
>>>>>>>>>> Yeah, quite an average team to win 3 out of 4 superbowls this decade. :-)
I just wish they would have made a Superbowl DVD of the Rams/Titans game. Now that was a superbowl. Two teams who have never won a super bowl going at it. And a comment to the Patriots fan in Salem.......at least we went to the playoffs the following year after our super bowl win. What happened to the patriots???? And by the way, who taught you how to type????
>>>>>>>>> 2 Superbowls in a row...... How words can come back to haunt us.
Anyway, enjoy the DVD. It is harder to find than superbowl 38, which is still in the stores. I think there should be a comprehensive DVD on the whole history of the Partiots from 1960-2005, including player interviews (both current and former players), game scores, playoff apperances, superbowl appearances, and maybe some interactive features I haven't thought of.

Summary: Ricky Proehl is a GENIUS
Review: Immediately after this years AFC Championship beatdown of the Steelers, I popped in this DVD to reminisce about the improbable run of the 2001 team.
One thing that made me laugh was a comment made by then-Ram Ricky "I just can't beat the Pats" Proehl prior to kickoff. He looks directly into the camera and says "Tonight..a dynasty is born." Sure, the Rams were a great team that year, but you just don't mess with karma.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and it is a must have for Pats fans, hell, football fans in general. I think that the excitement that Drew Bledsoe showed right before the TEAM was introduced proved his unselfishness, despite not getting the Super Bowl start.

Summary: Terrific highlights DVD for neutral NFL fans
Review: Okay, so I'm not COMPLETELY neutral...there were enough Michigan alums on the Patriots (especially Tom "Heart Attack" Brady) so that I was hoping they'd pull out the win. And in the most exciting Super Bowl ever played, they did.This is a terrific season highlights collection from a really improbable championship run. NFL Films has always been the greatest ambassador the game has; as they have consistently managed to present the game in a way that somehow makes it seem more relevant than it truly is; the film techniques, the epic music accompanying the slow-motion sequences, the on-field microphones...really, there is no other sport that can come remotely close to American football for being as "made for film" as it is. The 2001 season for the New England Patriots seemed even more epic than most...from starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe getting hurt early in the year to the interruption of play due to 9-11 (tastefully covered in a bonus feature unto itself) and Patriots guard and New York City native Joe Andruzzi's relief after finding out that his brothers in the FDNY made it out of the World Trade Center before it went down to the regular season meeting with the St. Louis Rams indicating that just MAYBE the Rams could be had to the emergence of Tom Brady as the star and eventual starting quarterback to the "tucking" of former Michigan teammate Charles Woodson and the Oakland Raiders in the last-ever game played at Foxboro Stadium to Brady's injury in the AFC Championship in Picksburgh with Drew Bledsoe stepping in to steer the team to New Orleans for the Super Bowl...and then of course the Super Bowl itself. I honestly can't think of one NFL season within recent memory that has had that much excitement (once you take Michael Vick's highlights out, at any rate)...this was an incredible journey, accessorized with some choice bonus features including U2's halftime set, the 9-11 tribute, and some old skool Patriots highlights from the 1970's that are sure to bring back some memories (as well as the question as to why a team calling itself "Patriots" was doing wearing red tops instead of the Colonial blue). All-in-all, a superb production from NFL Films of a season that was truly a stand-out in all aspects of the word. I will deduct a star from this rating because the Super Bowl game itself was not shown either in its entirety or in the full-length NFL Films production of that game from start-to-finish; games like that just don't come along every year; a second disc could have been included dedicated entirely to that one game (Glasgow Celtic Football Club did something similar to this regarding their 2003 UEFA Cup run; a 2nd disc was included showing their quarterfinal match at Anfield with Liverpool in its entirety...a nice touch, so we know it can be done).

Summary: U2 is king of the Super Bowl
Review: U2 is the only reason this game is cool. The halftime, baby. U2 opens with Bono trying to get through the crowd to the big heart in "Beautiful Day". The crowd never stops cheering through the whole song. At the end Bono sings "MLK" and the names of 9/11 victims scroll upwards on a huge sheet. The Edge comes in perfect with his trademark guitar and that 6 courd tune in the "Where The Streets Have No Name" opening. Bono grabs his Bible and starts pacing around like a madman, praying. Finally he's like "America, AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" The performance is emotional, for Bono. The backdrop falls to earth perfectly after some 3,000 names go up. Bono turns the mood from dark, fearful to hopeful, bright. At the end is a picture America will always love Bono for; right during the last " it's all we can do" Bono shows the inside of his jacket. It's an American flag, not a real one, that would be murdering the flag... it was a beautiful day

Summary: i want the whole game
Review: i want the whole superbowl not just highlights, this dvd is a joke. this game was one of the greatest ever played and as a ram fan i want the whole game. i know the nfl never releases the whole game only highlights in the past but the times have change and so has the technology and the nfl needs to give the fans what they want. it makes no business sense to release only highlights when fans want the whole game. an nfl films highlight package would be a great supplement but i want the whole game as the main dish
