The New England Patriots, under their head coach Bill Belicheat, tanked Super Bowl XLII last night and ended their hopes of a 'perfect' season. I'm not usually one to gloat over another's misery. Hell, I don't even care about the NY Giants (and not just because their head coach once coached the Jaguars). In fact, other than the possibility of the Patriots losing last night, I had no real desire to even watch this Super Bowl.

Why do I care? First of all, nothing bores me to tears more than seeing the same one or two teams in championship games year after year. This phenomenon is not something that is unique to football. Almost every major league sport has a team that for several years will dominate. Some might call that a dynasty - I call it booooring. You're probably thinking that I would not feel that way if my team won every year. (I'll have to get back to you on that one since I've never been that fortunate!)

Next, we have the cheating issue. I have heard every excuse possible from Pats fans since they were caught blatantly stealing defensive signals from the Jets earlier in the season. The most common (and false) justification is that "every team does it". Bullshit. I don't believe that for a minute. You might as well say that "every baseball player does steroids" too. I will fully admit that there are probably other teams that cheat and have just not gotten caught yet, but to say that they all do it is merely a way for Pats fans to try and make themselves feel better about it all. If you are an honest person, you could not possibly feel good about the prospect of a 'perfect' season when the scales were unfairly tipped toward the Pats - all on the backs on their unsuspecting opponents. Good for the Jets for turning them in. Shame on the NFL for not making the Patriots forfeit that game. They truly did not deserve to win.

Congratulations to the NY Giants for winning the Super Bowl and de-throning the Patriots and especially Tom Brady. This Super Upset is proof positive that the Patriots were a one man show and had no depth as a team. (Not to mention an utter lack of class with all their pre-game smack talking) Bill Belicheat was so pissed off at the end of the game, he refused to return to the field to watch the last snap. What a sore loser. How does it feel Bill? Reminds me of the old saying: "cheat cheat never beat".
