Just Super

I yelled, I was so angry. I beat my pillow and yelled in rage. My dog tried to comfort me, she must think I was nuts. I tried to tell her it was all right, but mom came in and took the dog away from me. Which is good because I didn't want the dog in the first place. Well, I hope everyone in the entire world except the northwest part of the United States is happy now. Your cheating beloved Patriots won the Super Bowl. Now I can't watch the local news for a few days because all they'll talk about is how the Seahawks lost. And they'll probably show the interception over and over again on the national news to rub it in my face. Well, at least I have a lot of DVDs of MST3K to comfort me. And I guess this means I can play video games. Although, I can't play the NFL games because I don't have any and I probably wouldn't do good at them with trying to get a pack of losers to win the virtual Super Bowl even if I was the best Madden NFL player on the whole planet. Ah well, maybe I'll just get out my Atari 2600 collection out of the garage, one box at a time, and test all of them to make sure they still work. I had a hunch the Seahawks would lose, I just didn't know how. Also, I was rooting for there to be an overtime. No Super Bowl has ever gone into overtime before, and I guess it never will. I'll be sitting at home watching Super Bowl CCCXLIX and there still won't be an overtime. Yes, I'm aware that means 349 in Roman numerals. I plan on living forever. Hey, I'm doing good so far, why ruin it?

Not an easy loss to take, to be sure. On the other hand - they were behind with a couple of minutes left, and if it weren't for an absolutely miraculous (lucky) catch by Kearse, they wouldn't have gotten as close to almost winning as they did. I heard Carroll's explanation for the play (it was a throwaway play, and they were going to run on third and fourth downs), but I just don't buy it. If you have three downs to try and win the SuperBowl, you take your best shot all three downs because you can never predict what the other team will do, and that best shot was Lynch, regardless of what the personnel match-ups say. If Lynch doesn't come back next year, Seattle will have big problems just getting to the post season again, much less the SuperBowl.

But hey... congrats to the Pats and all. That one guy made a really good play there at the end.
