THE DAY THE MAGIC DIED — by Steve Nadis
We here in New England are so used to seeing Tom Brady and the Patriots pull off last second victories that there was a lingering sense of disbelief after yesterday’s game, in which the Patriots lost to the Colts by four points. I, too, was taken aback by the defeat and felt personally at a loss for the rest of the night. But life goes on, they say. They also say, “Get over it,” and I feel like I’m in the process of doing so. Regardless of the outcome, it was a close, hard-fought game and my team made a great effort, playing like true Patriots–not the kind of false Patriots defined by Bush and Cheney, which means just agreeing with whatever dangerous nonsense they choose to inflict on us and the world. But this is about sports, not politics, and I’d rather not sully the conversation by saying any more about those two scary men.

Your blog title could not be more appropriate. I have already written enough about this NLF season, and honestly, it has been a great one, but I didn’t want to have to write what you just said - so thanks for that. However, it is true; there is no ‘magic’ in these two final teams. The Bears are defensive with a wish-wash QB (boring…) and Manning… well… I just don’t like him. I find him to be lack luster. Regardless, Sunday left me blue, and I guess I have next season to look forward to … that and Super Sunday comercials.
God help me - another boring Superbowl.
Sucked all around. I was pullin’ for the Saints. *sigh*
Though some may disagree, for us, it appears, it was a bad day.
I was for the Saints too. Ummm, did you know Tom Brady is a very outspoken “W” advocate? Once I heard that, I was “Pulling for Payton.” I’m sorry you were blue though.
I don’t like Brady’s politics any more than I like Curt Schilling’s politics. But they’re both gutsy ball players.
