Not everybody wanted New England...

My pal Jon May from Buffalo sent me this rant.
Jon's a very bright guy who despite his support of The Bush's is quite articulate!
Have a read.
Interesting.
Hey Howard (And Randee!)
I have to give you my two cents (worth only 1 cent Canadian)
Yes, this will be a typical Bitter Buffalo Fan rant…..
Watching the Patriots lose the Super Bowl was one of the most satisfying sports experiences of my life.
Yes, history would have been made if they’d won (history was instead made the other way).
But this Patriots team, many of its players and especially its coach, while undeniably talented, are just the most completely unlikeable group I’ve seen in years.
It isn’t about beating the Bills. Your daughter’s soccer team could do that on some days. (no offense to Charlie and her friends!)
But the fact is they cheat. They are arrogant. And they have a sense of entitlement and poor sportsmanship that should be held up to kids to show them how NOT to act.
I offer as proof of their bad character the simple example of Belichick (and Brady, and Moss) walking off the field at the end of the game with one play to go.
Moss did that years ago with Minnesota and was rightly castigated (that must’ve hurt!). No, their presence didn’t matter and yes, he did shake Coughlin’s hand (unlike Dungy’s hand last year when they lost to the Colts). But if any other coach or player had done that, you’d hear howling—and rightly so.
Furthermore, every other team that got blown out by them this season (and there were quite a few, including the Bills) had to sit there and watch Bill Belichick run up the score when he didn’t have to. So, it would seem reasonable for him to step up and take it like a man when he loses—especially only for one second.
However, that is not in Belichick’s character and his lack of it has apparently spread to Brady, who took himself out of the Pro Bowl (along with Moss, who never had any character in the first place).
Wins count. Talent Counts. Success counts. If another team was vying for a perfect season (say, the Colts), I would be supporting them. Because they (and their coach) are great players AND appear to be good people.
But, character and class also count. And the Patriots have neither.
End of rant! (sorry!) Thanks for listening!!
Hope all is well,
JON
