I really don't like either head coach, but the media and fans up here in New England are SOOO over the top - yes, I think even more so than in NY, because in NY you have at least 2 teams in every major sport - that I don't think I could stand it if the pats win ... at least if Seattle wins, their fans are a continent away, and here the local newspaper will probably have one small photo of the winners and I won't hear about the SB after Monday ... ... If the pats win it will probably be a front page story at least until baseball season and then all next year ... ...
I predict that at the last second, the Patriots will be disqualified because of 'deflategate' and the Eagles will be selected as a SB replacement team by virtue of a lottery pick. They will then go on to beat the Seahawks by 30 points......and then I woke up.

I don't deny Brady's talent, but let's be honest, if it weren't for the interception of an ill advised pass by Joe Flacco in the final minutes of the second round playoff game, the Pats might not have made it to the SB ... and if it weren't for an interception on an ill advised pass by Russell Wilson in the final seconds, the SB outcome might have been very different ...

Gary the call was a good one. Everybody expected Seattle to run. Seattle got lucky on a pass that drops into the receivers lap while he's on the ground. New England outplayed them. Tom Brady came from the U of M and the big ten. Go blue!
