It's a great come back. Great game. Still pulling for Falcons, only cuz I hate NE. As a 49er fan, I have no dog in this hunt. Just want a great game.

I am historically a "Boston Patriots" (yes, that dates me) fairweather fan. I'll smile and say "Good game" when other people around me get excited about a Pats win.

However, when Brady was filmed with that fucking HAT in his locker, I soured. Then I learned about the coach and owner having a close personal relationship with the Cheetoh Coupster, and I soured further. I laughed like hell when Giselle ripped Tom a new asshole and told him to STFU, and he admitted that his wife had ordered him to not talk politics. He flat-out REFUSED to say anything about Trump after that. Since she's "restyled" him, made him get hair plugs, picks out his clothes, etc...we know who rules his roost.

The rank-and-file players of the team work very hard, though--and I suspect most of them are NOT Trumphumpers, though they'll keep their mouths shut.

So, while I'd not mind if Atlanta STUCK it to Kraft/Bellachick/Brady, I'll also get a laugh out of Goodell having to hand that trophy to Brady.

I watched for the halftime show....

When when its close they decided to fix it. Ok, got it. No wonder so many people are gullible for CTs.

For a very long time, I have not trusted pro sports.
Have not purchased a ticket to a pro event since 1997.
