I’m a Pats fan. Not a huge football fan, but I live in Boston, and I’ve watched these guys evolve over the past several years from a bunch of whining sissy prima donnas(the Bledsoe era, not that I needed to tell you) into a group of hardworking players who do a great job together.
When they won two years ago, Bledsoe was making $12 Million a year, and Brady was making less than $1 Million. The best thing that happened was that Bledsoe got injured.
The most amazing thing about this season is that the Pats have 14 wins in a row, and I think went 14-2 for the regular season, and they just don’t get any respect. Two weeks ago, all anyone was talking about was Peyton, Peyton, Peyton. By the end of the game, Peyton looked like a lost little boy.
The Pats have played an amazing season. There are many standouts,and many great performance, but they are a team. They have won all those games together.
I think, and hope, that the Pats will win. It’s just a matter of whether they do it in the form of a total rout, or if they stay true to form and do just enough to win. I’m happy to see a good game. And, of course, do a little carbo-loading.
In any event, their defense is like a brick wall, and if the Panthers can’t get past it, they’re toast.
Have a great Super Bowl! (I expect there will be Hallmark cards out soon, and a national holiday to follow.)
