A SAD SUPERBOWL
First, let your Ostrich Killer make it clear that he didn't pull for one team or another. He pulled for quality football.
We watched the team with probably the most talented quarterback in the history of the game lose to a lesser team - a team beaten by the Seattle Seaturkeys this season. Why did New England lose?
They lost because of a questionable franchise philosophy: score a vast number of points, and it doesn't matter how many points the other team scores. So it's offense, offense, offense - and just enough defense to slow down the other side.
But if you don't score a boatload of points - well, that's what happened.
Many megabucks spent on offense, lip service to defense. No interceptions by New England. Few drive-stopping plays. And just when New England couldn't afford it, three dropped passes in a row near the end of the game.
A statistical certainty that happened at just the wrong time, despite Tom Brady setting the all-time consecutive pass completion record for a Super Bowl.
This game is just another in a universe of examples of why balance is a necessity. Mrs. Brady, Tom's wife, has it right.
