The Winner is: Movie Madagascar Helps Enumclaw Mom and Sons Pick Giants for Super Bowl Win

Remember that Super Bowl contest? Here's our pick for the winner:

Much has happened in the media world since the New York Giants won the Super Bowl last Sunday, Feb. 5, but we here at Patch haven't forgotten

On several Patch sites in Washington state, including Enumclaw, users offered their opinions in the comment threads of the story we posted soliciting your input. 

Aimee Allen on offered: "...I mean just because I’m from Massachusetts doesn’t mean I am automatically going with the Pats. Sure my notebooks at work have Aimee loves Tommy and AA+TB 4-eva written on them, but that doesn’t mean anything really, (please don’t mention that one to my husband). ... Bottom line is I can objectively state, by looking at the stats, the stars and the life size Brady cut-out in my dining room, Patriots 31-Giants 24."

Rebecca Giles on said: "The Patriots will win, because Tom Brady is the best looking quarterback on the planet!"

And Debbie McDonald, also on , opined: "... Go Giants! If I was putting money on the game I would still go with the Giants they have a better balanced offense with their run game and passing. ..."

In the end, it was indeed the Giants who snagged the 21-17 win over the New England Patriots. And here in Patch land, the best pick answer our judges found came from Enumclaw's Becki Breece, who shared with us:

"my boys (ages 8 & 4) have decided since our Seahawks arn't in the super bowl the best team to vote for is the New York Giants. why you ask? so that we can say "All hail the New York Giants" a quote from one of our favorite cartoon movies, madagascar. seems like a good enough reason to me!!"

Breece and her boys Solomon, 8, and Moses, 4, picked up the Patch prize pack which included a snazzy Patch tote bag, two Patch water bottles, and an assortment of Patch pens, magnets and removeable tattoos.

Asked if they spent much time watching the Super Bowl last week, Breece said in fact they didn't but had been watching a pre-recorded Monster Jam program instead. "The Seahawks weren't playing," Breece explained for the family's lack of interest in this year's Super Bowl. "We did look up the commercials the next day online though."

Why is Madagascar their favorite film? "Because it's funny," said Solomon.

But younger brother Moses clarified he didn't share the same opinion as his brother.

What's Moses' favorite?

"Transformers," he said.
