The Underdog and the Ironman

The strangest stat of this Super Bowl was that the Patriots are 0-2 when Troy Brown was inactive. He sat out this one and the Pats 1997 loss to the Packers. It's as if everything was in the cards to loss this game. Brown is the most productive receiver in Pats history and is a 15 year veteran that was one of the last ironmen in the gridiron. The guy is a class act. If you Google him, the picture is of his son and wife, who is an Army corps engineer, not a vacant super model girlfriend. Boston has become the hated New York. At a time when Boston bought the three best teams in sports, it has to lose. Cause that's why we love sports. I just didn't think New York would the place of underdogs. And just when you thought chats of 1918 were over, now you have eighteen and one.

So that was Super Sunday. Tomorrow is Super Tuesday (well, today because Cairo is ahead of the States). Obama gave a speech in East Rutherford, where the G-Men play.



This is a photo from the New York Times of him shaking hands with Ted Kennedy who hasn't gotten this excited about a candidate since his brother.





But then again, no one from the Democratic party has.
