LOL Patriots!
What an amazing, amazing end of a game! I was at a truly excellent super bowl party, and the room just went nuts. As I said to my father, that was the longest damn minute of my life. I loved all the shots cutting to Eli Manning's older brother watching the game from the luxury box. He looked like he was chugging pepto between camera shots (God know I would be). It was all so incredible. I was worried it was all over when the Pats got that second touchdown. But then we got a touchdown. Football is not as much my sport as baseball is, so I can't really go into much in the way of specifics, but yelling and screaming and jumping around in victory like that is always kickass. The Super bowl is infinitely better when it's about football, as my dad always says. (The network must have been shitting kittens in the last 5 minutes when they couldn't cut to commercial at all. Hee!)
I think my favorite part of the night was the chanting of 18-1. Man, that has to suck. You have a perfect season, except for the super bowl. That has to be so hard.
Actually, I think if I had to come up with something to say to the Patriots, it would be this:
And now that this amusing interlude is over, we can get back down to business: 11 days until pitchers and catchers report to Tampa!!!
