The game should have ended with the defense on the field.

I love how the Patriots just took their ball and went home.

Bellicheck is being a big baby, too – not congratulating the other coach. What a class act.

Ah, that’s too bad. I guess the NFL really wanted to screw Belichick for Spygate. It would have been nice to see a game played on the level but congratulations to the Giants.

Of course, this means we’ll have to listen to Mercury Morris run his fucking mouth for who knows how many years.

I don’t know how it happened. My Vikings kicked the living shit out the Giants and we suck.

Well the Giants wouldn’t allow the Pats to get a move in edgewise… and the Pats didn’t do the same. So this is how it played out.

I’m sick over it.

Boy, and didn’t I call this sour grapes, making excuses, blaming the referees bullshit earlier in the thread? Like I said, you were just setting the table for the lame-o excuses. Well, have at it.
