Tom Brady, after fumbling the ball and realizing there will be no comeback for the Pats.
Okay. I know that outside of New England there aren’t millions of Patriots fans, and there are parties going on just about everywhere right now, celebrating the Philadelphia Eagles first Super Bowl win and the Pats comeuppance, but living in Massachusetts and being a lifelong Patriots fan, here’s how I’m feeling right now.

Fine. I’ll be gracious. Congratulations to the Eagles and their fans. They played an incredible game. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some things I need to do.
By Hook Or By Book 
I’m sorry my friend. They are great champions of the past. They will be back.

Oh no. You were very kind. The Eagles played an incredible game. It’s especially inspiring that not only is this their first Super Bowl win, but that Nick Foles is their back up quarterback. What a story!

No one seems to remember, but once upon a time, the Pats were an underdog team as well. And then came Belichick and Brady and the rest is history.

Well of course being English I can’t take Super Bowl seriously! Football is not what they play at all, as that involves kicking the ball from one chap to another and so on and so forth hence the name FOOTball until a goal is scored in a net between two posts, when the whole procedure starts again. The ball has to be round for this to work. What happens in Super Bowl is actually a thing called Rugby, where chaps have an elliptical ball and throw it to each other and run until they plop it down between 2 very tall posts or get chance to kick it between the posts, known as a conversion. But in Rugby you are not allowed to wear full body armour, or any armour at all really, although children playing in schools I believe do wear head protection now, though they too are considered wimps like your guys 🤣🤣 until they grow up and play the mans version. So ya know, cheer up, it’s just kids stuff 🤣🤣🤣

I’m more or less with Fraggle. I have never understood American Football. It isn’t even football! I really cannot get excited about it. That said, I am not excited about any sport, of any kind.
