While most of the rest of the country occupies itself by watching re-runs of the Superbowl ads and voting on their popularity, New York becomes the gloating capital of the Earth and the pitiful New England fans must wallow in the empty tub of defeat.
They lost. How could this happen? Some may blame it on the jinx of Belichick's abandoning his traditional gray hoodie for that gay red sweatshirt. Some will say that the New York Giants "wanted it more." Some will blame the loss on the distractions of the two week pre-game hyporama. A few will blame it on Hillary Clinton.
The fact is, New York protected Eli Manning all day. They harried and hurried Tom Brady, got him out of his rhythm and made him throw some bad passes. "They scored more points" as one perceptive analyst noted.
Well, I am not going to kick any cats today. It would have been fun to see the Pats win again, but the truth is, next season will be more interesting now. Let's hope the coach stops wearing that unlucky sweatshirt. .
It wasn't a total loss - I won $50 in the game betting pool. And, now the cancelled Boston victory parade will not interfere with Super Tuesday primary voting.
I wonder what they will do with all the champagne they were going to squirt at each other....
Congratulations to the Giants and their fans. Go ahead and gloat!
Lord knows, we would have

I won $50 as well! How ironic as I was the only Pats fan at the party. And I didn't care a whit who won.
How ironic -I won $50 too and was the only person at the party for the Pats.
