They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

PATRIOTS WIN

Shut up.  You and grumbler should go out into the wilderness for an adventure, and grumbler comes back.

It's so cute when US teams call themselves "World Champions" of sports only they play.

Actually, there are football teams other than the patriots.

What i think is so cute is Europeans thinking that they have the real "football" when, in fact, association football is younger than American football (and Rugby football is older than either).   it's especially delicious when they use the old "how can the Americans call it 'football' when they use their hands?" thus revealing that they are totally ignorant of what the 'foot' in 'football' actually means.

A few years ago, the American Football World Championships were held in Vienna.

The Americans won the final against Canada 50-7.

Their QBs were:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cody_Hawkins
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Bassuener

If those virtual nobodies can convincingly take the WC, then I'm ok with their best professional teams labeling themselves the best in the world. :P


The "World Series" claim in baseball might be more contentious.

I don't mind that the Pats won, or that the Falcons lost.

Well, that isn't true. I do mind. I hate seeing the Pats win, because they represent everything that is wrong about professional sports.

But I can live with that.

What sucks is that the Falcons went in there, and apparently were on a mission to seal Brady's status as the greatest ever. They couldn't just go in an lose 34-28 like a normal team. Score a TD, give up a TD, put up the good fight, lose to the better team.

Nope. They had to dominate the Patriots for an entire half, and set Brady and Bellicheck up for this incredible come back. Most passing yards in a Superbowl. Biggest comeback in a Superbowl. Blahblahblah.

Brady is a lying, cheating, douchebag and his infatuation with Trump is not even a little bit surprising.

But he is undeniably the most successful QB to ever put on a uniform in the NFL. It isn't even really close.

And the Falcons, if there is any justice, should never, ever win a Superbowl for going out there and forcing us all to recognize that. Again. Assholes.

The problem with your myth is that the Falcons cheat as much as the Patriots, and Ryan is also a lying, cheating, douchebag who may well have an infatuation with Trump that he simply isn't as open about.

I'll admit that i find amusing the whole "Patriots are cheaters because deflategate and it doesn't matter that every physicist ever has observed that it never happened."  We were in the post-truth world in pro football long before Trump was a thing in politics.

I wanted the Pats to win because Fuck Roger & now the Pats can continue to march towards being the greatest franchise in NFL history beating out the Steelers.

Fuck the Steelers.

Yeah. Wanting to actually win games and caring about the sport instead of being a soulless marketing gimmick. Terrible. We cannot have people who care about winning games in professional sports.

Please tell me what soulless suites represent what is right about professional sports.

I forgive you grumbler. I understand that Brady is your guy.

Yes that is whole gimmick. Is was a 19th century marketing gimmick to get people to come to their championship series.
