Well, as you most likely have heard, the Boston Herald fed us some story about how they were sorry that they ever brought up Spygate before Super Bowl 42.
Blah, blah, blah. What I really wanna know is: Why would you wanna do that to your home-town team, days prior to the biggest game of many of their lives?
In my opinion, looking back on it, the distraction of Randy Moss’s domestic disturbance allegations were in no way partial to the outcome. Perhaps, just perhaps, the Boston Herald report regarding the Rams’ walk-through before Super Bowl 36 got inside the head of one of the greatest QBs of all-time, Tom Brady. Maybe it messed up his confidence that he would be able to win without stealing signals? Maybe it messed up Mike Vrabel or Teddy Bruschi’s concentration on the game? Who knows?
In my opinion, the report had to have some sort of effect on how the Patriots players performed, because when you beat superior teams to the New York Giants like the Indianapolis Colts, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the San Diego Chargers, or the Jacksonville Jaguars all year long, you don’t get to the biggest dream of any NFL players dream and lose to them by 3.
Just my thoughts. Don’t get me wrong, the Giants played incredible, and deserved that trophy, and those rings and those hats, and those shirts, and those headlines, and those jerseys, and those kudos, more than the Patriots did on February 3, 2008.
If the Patriots are disappointed, it should definitely be disappointment in themselves, but also some disappointment in the Boston Herald reporter who wrote this. Perhaps that certain man or woman was a Jets fan? Just kidding.
Thanks you for reading! Take care!
