I was really disappointed the New York Giants won Super Bowl XLII. I really wanted the New England Patriots to win, for a couple of reasons. First, they were 18-0. That means something. While 18-1 is nice, the last loss means you screwed up in the most important game of the season. Congrats to Eli Manning for escaping that last sack, and to receiver David Tyree for making the catch that really wasn't because the nose of the ball hit the turf when he went down.
Second, I wanted them to win to shut up Mercury Morris of the Miami Dolphins. OK, fine. You guys were 17-0. In 1972. Different time, different game. Get over yourself.
And last but not least, the Washington Redskins finally have a head coach. Jim Zorn. Who? Yes, that Jim Zorn, the old Seahawks quarterback who used to light it up with Steve Largent. But doesn't he seem to be in over his head? I mean seriously, how can you call the team's colors maroon and black when everybody -- EVERYBODY in this area anyway -- knows they are burgundy and gold?Good luck James. With Danny Boy Snyder owning this team, your leash will be short.
