I
guess I am that guy, after all. That insufferable New England Patriots fan who
sounds like that obnoxious hipster talking about craft beers. Sorry. It's hard
not to come off as… condescending, I guess. (I'm doing it right now!)
Insensitive? It is easy to lose perspective rooting for Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. (Oops! Doing it again. Sorry!)
Let's be serious, though. Undefeated? Come on! It was just one game. They
scored 51 points but still. Just. One. Game. Long way to go. Winning three games
won't get you anything in this league.
It's
a convenient story line, I suppose. The post-scandal Eff You seasons. They did
it in 2007 following Spygate. Crush your
enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.
16-0-0.
For
their post-Deflategate encore?
How
about the Patriots just put the ball in Tom Brady's hands and see what happens?
