Just some random scribbling on a game that is still reverberating through our hungover, overstuffed brains....

-One of our pet peeves in any sort of sports movies/TV show is that no matter how realistic the movie/TV show is, every game shown features a crazy upset that climaxes with a crazy, totally unrealistic play. It’s true of the otherwise seriously realistic "Friday Night Lights." But that game? That game actually was like how it was in the movies. A crazy upset...a crazy finale...and that totally insanely crazy play in which Eli Manning somehow eluded every Patriot defender and half the Pats bench to throw that hopeless quacking duck of a pass that David Tyree somehow, inexplicably caught off of somebody's helmet.

And that's why we watch sports.

The other great thing about the game is that if the Pats had won, the game would have merely been remembered as the final victory of the Best. Team Ever. But with the upset, the game will now be seen as maybe one the biggest, greatest, most super stupendously games ever. Crushing defeats by supposed juggernauts will do that. Plus, anything that wipes the smirk off of Belichik's and Brady's face is worth it. Not to mention the smirk of every douchey frat-boy who discovered a deep love of the Red Sox just over the past three years. Hell, even every damn smug Boston sports fan. As Nelson Muntz would say "ha-ha!"
