Super Bowl Post-Mortem

WOW, what a game. Probably the best Super Bowl I’ve ever watched. Of course, I wouldn’t be saying that if the Patriots won, but they didn’t so, GREAT GAME! It looks like the Giants put to rest any talk of the “best team ever”, as they beat the Patriots up and down the field. The Pats had their big chance, and the Giants went the length of the field with under 2:00 on the clock for the win.
How about Belichick running out with :01 seconds left on the clock? The defense had to stay out there and finish, but not the coach. I guess he needed to compose his post-game remarks…. what little there were. Whatta jerk. One of the most classless, joyless individuals ever to grace the sidelines. It’ll be interesting to see if Senator Specter forces the NFL to divulge the extent of the Patriots video cheating throughout the past 6-7 years. I think it’s pretty clear 1) they were cheating, 2) some type of advantage was obtained, and 3) the NFL desperately wants this to go away. What is not clear is were other teams cheating as well, and how big of an advantage was gained.
Anyway, I think the Patriots with this Super Bowl loss, and the cheating, have been relegated to the 2nd tier of great NFL teams. They do not belong in the same category as the Troy Aikman Cowboys, or Joe Montana 49′ers, or Chuck Noll Steelers…. none of which ever lost a Super Bowl. Maybe if that 4th wide receiver doesn’t catch the ball against his helmet they would be in that group…. but he did, and they’re not.
For me, this wraps up the worst year I’ve ever had predicting football. Maybe I’m spending too many hours at my day job. For the record, I predicted before the season that the Giants would go 3-13. Hee-hee! That sucks. Well, this is why I gave up gambling.

Yeah well I made some big bucks this year betting. Do you want to know how I did it, and am now retired and living the good life “with a drink in my hand and my toes in the sand” [see DLR era Van Halen]… I bet every bet against what your predictions were. So thanks a lot!! haha Better Luck next year buddy.
