Just a question.

Are "The Patriots" a football ( or whatever ) team, from Patrick Henry high
school?

In this particular scenario, The New England Partiots are the nickname of a
team which plays American style football based in Foxboro Mass. Last Sunday,
the Patriots beat a team from Carolina called the Panthers for the
championship of the League in a spectacle which has been called the super
bowl. It has become an event for many in america, usually the most watched
television show of the year which takes place after a significant amount of
hype and build up.

The games usually suck but every once in a while there's a good one. The one
last sunday's game was a good one.

Minor correction: with the championship game still in doubt with only four
seconds left on the clock, last Sunday's game was as good as it gets...

With all due respect to my friends in the northeast; all the hyperbole about
this "great" game is a bit overblown beyond the geography of NE fans.
Neither team played consistently great football on either side of the ball.
The Pats pretty well kicked their asses early on, and it should have been a
laugher at the end. Only a few lucky breaks, blown calls, and missed
opportunities kept the game in doubt at all. Exciting finish? Undeniably.
Great game? Hardly, IMHO.

I guess you could deny it, but I guess
the greatness comes with the magnitude of the hype, no? I mean, it was great
for a superbowl, wasn't it?

There had to be *someone* out there whose definition of "great game" differs
from the other 99.9999999999% of viewers sitting on the edge of their seats to
the very end....
