Well, I certainely hope you burned them. Don't feel bad, the Red Sox personally messed up my honeymoon. I left for my honeymoon to Belize with the Yanks up 3-0 and watched a choke in 2004. I said to my wife, 'Don't worry, goes to figure that the year the Red Sox finally beat the Yankees, they get stuck playing the Cardinals (who in 2004 really were the team to beat), and of course the Cardinals get swept too.....
Coming back into the US, I find out that it isn't the US anymore, its 'Red Sox Nation'
I actually got into an 'argument' with my friend about the whole undefeated thing, he was saying that the Patriots going undefeated in the regular season 'surpasses' the Dolphins. I said, no, the record is completely undefeated in the regular season and you have to win the Super Bowl, unless you do that, you do not match the Dolphins.
When Moss caught that touchdown I figured it was midnight for Cinderella.....
You are absolutely right... the fact that they didn't win tonight mad e the 16-0 utterly useless. It doesn't matter that there were more games regular season this time around. It's all or nothing in this case... nothing. I didn't burn my stuff... I'm still a fan, but I at lest get to be grumpy for a couple days

What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
And one might expect the Giants -- a manly name -- to defeat the Patricias.

Got to give the Giants credit as they outplayed the Patriots. I did not believe Manning could take them on that winning drive, but he surprised many. Congratulations to the 2008 World Champions, the New York Football Giants!

I thought the Giants were done for, and didn't think that Manning could pull it off, either. I'm happy that he did and that he gets the ring, like brother Peyton,but unhappy at Belichik's display of poor sportsmanship when he left the field before the end of the game.

It was bad sportsmanship all across the board for the pats im sorry to say. As much as I like him, Brady was a jerk just before the game. Manning came out on the field and tried to shake his hand or something and Brady just turned his back on him and said nothing... Carma.. its why we lost...

I didn't notice that, but it may not have been intentional. Like Obama's so called snub of Clinton, I don't think one should give much credence to that kind of media provoked stuff.
Let's not get a bunch of 'Lost Causers' on behalf of the Patriots.
Just don't forget the score of Super Bowl XX.
