It’s Good To Be Evil
At long last, Good and Evil squared off in the squalid environs of Naptown, Indiana, in a prenaturally important battle to decide the fate of the Free World… and Evil won. Ha ha!
(Above: Um, Peyton, when they said “dig deep for victory,” that’s not what they meant.)
Awwwww. Gregg Easterbrook and the staff at Fox are probably weeping like little schoolgirls as we speak. Which, of course, just makes the victory that much sweeter.
Yeah, I’m really liking this whole Evil thing. I love the fact that every football fan in the entire country outside New England loathes the Patriots, and was desperately hoping for them to get their comeuppance. I love that Belichick has made a conscious decision to go all Suge Knight on the rest of the league in the wake of the ridiculous “spying” “scandal.”
And sure, I would’ve like to see the Patriots beat the mortal shit out of Indy like they’ve done to everyone else, but somehow, this was better. They went on the road against an undefeated defending Superbowl champion, played just as badly as they could possibly play, had their heads handed them for the game’s first fifty minutes… and still won. That’s bad news for the entire rest of the NFL.
Just give them the Lombardi trophy now, already. This delay is only making them madder.
