Whoa.

Having grown up in New England, specifically 10 minutes from Foxborough Stadium, I am a lifelong Patriots fan. And for most of the time I was growing up, they were fairly awful. It was kind of a dubious thing, being a Patriots fan. Yea, they went to the Superbowl in '85, but most of us remember how that turned out, right? And then they went again in '96...and it wasn't much better. But then everything changed in the early 2000's. If someone had told me 15 years ago, or even 10 years ago, that the Patriots would be playing for both a Superbowl win AND an undefeated season, I very well may have laughed and called them nuts. I cannot predict whether they'll win. The Giants are a good team, who played the Patriots very strongly in the last game of the season. But whether or not they win, it's been a pretty thrilling ride, not just this season, but the past six years, watching them go from perpetual underdogs to a team that is consistently compared to the Evil Empire for their dominance. Pretty cool. GO PATS!!!
