Not So Good Anymore, Are Ya?

My interest in professional football certainly waned quite a bit this season.  I blame a lot of it on the emergence of the New England Patriots.  There are other reasons.  While I have no problem with any individual Patriot players (Belichick is a different story), I am sick and tired of them being shoved down my throat.  Yeah, they are a good team.  They put up big numbers and an undefeated regular season looks quite impressive.  Although on their road to being crowned the "best team ever", the Patriots forgot to win the the last and most important game of the season, the Super Bowl.  And I could not be happier. 

I have no vested interest in the New York Giants, other than they stood in the way of the Patriots.  However, I found myself getting excited and cheering for the Giants in the final minutes of the Super Bowl.  For a game that only has a couple of seconds of action at a time, this game held my attention for most of the second half. 

What I like most is that during those inevitable "best team ever" lists that sports writers will have, they will have to drop the Patriots a few spots simply because they did not win the Super Bowl.  A prerequisite for any "best team ever" list.
