Have to admit, I was pulling for the Giants in this one. I was very pleased that they managed to pull it out!
I don't really hate the Patriots on the whole. I just strongly dislike Belichick. Arrogant, unethical prick doesn't even begin to describe him. If all the spygate allegations are true, then he deserves whatever is coming to him.
I could live with the Patriots going undefeated and winning the championship in any other situation. The whole spygate thing left a very bad taste in my mouth. Just because "everyone else does it, he just did it worse" doesn't make it right. How would we react if Mack Brown had pulled this same thing? Would we as Texas fans consider it to be acceptable behavior?
The constant media fellating of the Patriots over the last few weeks did get a bit tiresome, though. It reminded me a lot of USC in 2005. I was glad to see the underdog win, just like in 2005.
