18-1

I've paid attention to the Patriots but don't consider myself a fan (or knowledgeable about football). In fact, I hadn't intended to follow the team this year, but the prospect of a historic perfect season pulled me in.

The season was historic, all right. Ouch.

Congratulations to the New York Giants and their fans for a well-deserved Super Bowl victory.

Afterthought. The probability that a team will have a 16-0 regular season is far lower than the--unit--probability a team will win the Super Bowl. I knew this all along. Nevertheless, I'd prefer a Super Bowl victory to a perfect season. Why?
