Patriots loss
Thank you, Denver! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am about the Patriots losing yesterday's divisional playoff game to the Broncos. More than any other team in professional sports (with the Yankees being a close second), I hate to see the Patriots win. Here's a few reasons why.
One, they never should have won Super Bowl 36 because they never should have even been playing in the game. Brady's fumble-ruled incomplete pass that would have sealed their defeat in the divisional playoff game that year was the worst call I've ever seen in the history of the NFL.
Two, the NFL actually made a new rule (the "tuck" rule) the following year to try to justify that blown call. Give me a break. Just admit your mistake. Don't change the rules so that you're required to make the same bad call in the future.
Three, I'm sick and tired of the "Patriots can do no wrong" mentality among NFL analysts and broadcasters. Perfect example: In yesterday's loss to the Broncos, Willie McGinest and Larry Izzo got in a fight on the sidelines. I believe most would agree that this is not a good thing. Not with the Patriots, though. After that happened, the broadcasters said it was a positive, they were showing life and still had some fight left in them. Are you serious??
Last of all, Rodney Harrison. Biggest cry-baby in the NFL. I know he was hurt most of this season, but he's got a lot of teammates just like him. More than any other team (with Harrison being the absolute worst), the Patriots try to get away with more things (hold, illegal contact with receivers, etc..) while complaining the most if they don't get a call. Just shut up already. The infamous "tuck" should have been enough to keep you guys quiet for years to come.
My team's already out, but at least I can enjoy the fact that the Patriots won't be holding the trophy when it's all said and done.
