Celebrations

We called, and you cooked. Well, you submitted -- some of the best recipes for a Super Bowl party that we've ever seen. Chef Todd English of Olives, Figs, and other restaurants here in Boston and around the country looked over the entries and chose the three most promising.

The winners

Chris M.

There were Mike Vrabels, Ty Laws, Tedy Bruschis, and lots of Tom Bradys. Check out the best photos of fans who think they look like a Pats player or coach.

During the New England Patriots' Super Bowl run, we asked you to try your hand at several funky contests, ranging from writing haikus for Tedy Bruschi to proposing uses for the Lombardi Trophy. Your suggestions were both funny and creative.

Simply the best
The good news is that the Patriots are once again world champs. The bad news is, Tom Brady is going to have to hear even more questions about comparisons to Joe Montana. But the good news is that they're legitimate.

Perhaps best Super Bowl ever
The two teams playing in Super Bowl XXXVIII gave everything they could to produce what may be the greatest Super Bowl of all.

Champs again
Championships are like children -- you love them all -- but the way the Pats won this year makes this title a slightly favored son.

Previous Shaughnessy columns

Mr. Clutch, no doubt about it
There are very few things in life that Mike Vrabel is absolutely, positively certain about. Kicker Adam Vinatieri is one of them.

Previous MacMullan columns

Winners are one of a kind
It is now OK to place the Patriots in a historical sentence that few teams are able to utter. You can call them one of the greatest teams of all time.
