[Dreamer Tatum]

4. Whoooooo-hoooooooooo!

[Mrs. Overall]

9. I sense a massacre in the making...

10. SOOOO GLAD! I live in Flowery Banch, less than 5 mins. from where the Falcons practice. At heart

I;m a die hard Steeler fan (born in Pgh.) but I really want the Falcons to beast Brady! He's just too arrogant and egotistic for me. Heard a few comments from Brady from this past week. He's certain nobody can beat him.

GO Ryan!

[Ilsa]

12. This first half should be humbling, even

If Pats win. I got tired of the excessive NE coverage on the Today Show this morning.

11. Nice!

[J_William_Ryan]

13. Don't get too excited

As we learned last November, evil finds a way to triumph.

[napi21]

14. I know, but at the very least this half has to put a big dent into the super ego! I know there

is no guarantees in this game, but I'm feeling a lot more positive now than I was yesterday!

[MineralMan]

15. Brady's passing is in the crapper.

Not even close.

[maveric]

18. 466 yards ain't too bad.

[MineralMan]

19. I stopped watching after halftime. First half, he couldn't

complete a pass to save his life.

16. Kicking this thread.

Trump carried Georgia and all states that border it.

Hillary carried Massachusetts and all states that border it.

Must've been a lot of Trump voters exulting right along with you.

[Ilsa]

17. Go ahead, rub it in.

As John Che said on SNL Saturday night, "I'm looking forward to seeing the blackest city in America take on the most racist city in America."

We didn't win, but at least our team doesn't have a history of blatant cheating.

[Jim Lane]

21. I wasn't going to until I caught up with DU today.

Reading the "Greatest" in reverse chron, I found so many threads rubbing it in partway through the game that I couldn't resist.

Incidentally, re "blatant cheating", let's not forget the NFL's venture into alternative facts -- the false and uncorrected charge that 11 of the 12 footballs were found underinflated. I'll bet millions of people still believe that lie.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to the "Greatest" page. I'm eager to see what the more recent threads look like.

20. Jimmy, my boy. You don't know me at all..

You know who else was exulting with me when the Falcons were winning: Atlanta Congressperson John Lewis


And now that we got that homework out of the way:

“Congratulations on a tremendous campaign. You have to help with an unbelievable slanted and negative media and have come out beautifully. You have proven to be the ultimate competitor fighter. Your leadership is amazing. I have always had tremendous respect for you for the toughness and perseverance you have displayed over the past year is remarkable. Hopefully tomorrow’s election, the results will give the opportunity to make America great again.

Best wishes for great results tomorrow,

Bill Belichick”

I would have rooted for the freaking Bucs last night.

[Jim Lane]

23. Yes, Belichick was presumably among the 1.1 million Bay Staters who voted for Trump.

And my friends and family there, from the many years I lived there, were all or almost all among the 2.0 million who voted for Hillary. In only three states did she get a higher percentage of the vote.

Not surprising that John Lewis was rooting for the Falcons. Without doing any research, I'll hazard a guess that so were those mighty progressive champions, Jonny Isakson and David Perdue. For my part, I proudly stand with Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren in supporting the Patriots.

24. Belichick's effusive praise of Drumpf is going to rub any leftie who isn't tied to the Patriots...

Belichick's effusive praise of Drumpf is going to rub any leftie who isn't tied to the Patriots the wrong way.

Here's my paean to a Patriot who opposes Drumpf:

25. In the spirit of compromise, here's a photo for you to savor.

The Boston Globe had to print its Florida edition before the game ended. Check out "Boston Globe Subscribers in Florida Woke Up in a World Where the Patriots Lost" and you'll see the featured photo: a dejected Tom Brady on the ground after he couldn't stop Alford's pick-6.

And thanks for the link about Martellus Bennett! I wonder what's better -- to skip the White House ceremony, or to attend wearing a black armband or the like.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. The former

The latter is asking a young man to ignite a maelstrom that even I might be loathe to do if I was in his position. His quiet protest is enough and all any fair person can expect of him.
