I used to love PTI but I just can't anymore. Especially with Kornheiser constantly slurping up Tom Brady. He has a bigger man crush on Brady than Madden had for Favre.

I'm also pissed at Brady for seemingly never aging.

Nice to have TWD back and made for a much better Sunday night than last Sunday. Simon seems like he's maybe as dangerous as Negan. Apparently the actor who plays him also played some guy named Trevor in the GTA games (never played them before so I don't know the details).

Gonna throw in a darkhorse: Philly. Give Wentz some WRs and time to grow and, if Schwartz remains the DC long term, give him a pass rusher or two and you could have an eventually dominant team on both sides of the ball.

Interesting especially considering I kept hearing that the Falcons hardly have any fans. As far as Boston not being in the top 5, it makes me wonder if Pats fans truly do come from the Boston area or if they are mostly bandwagoners around the country.

No they don't, ours is still better. Also, we didn't have the luxury of playing a team that made literally every mistake in the book when it comes to protecting a lead.

Falcons need to win the OT toss and score a TD. Otherwise, Pats win.

Falcons doing everything they can to give the game away

How do you let that happen. I mean, how?

Falcons had a golden opportunity on that last drive to put this one away and blew it. I don't have a good feeling about this.

Not going to be comfortable until the game ends with Atlanta ahead. Brady can catch fire any time.

3 ridiculous defensive holding calls

Agreed, if that was defensive holding you might as well call it on every play.

So in order for NE to win they will need to pull off the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history. And they are certainly equipped to do it.

Beckham-esqe catch by Jones there

Pats secondary is covering really well right now. No one seems to be getting open.

Very sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. May your son rest in peace.

And yet, even if Brady and Belichick both swear they will retire if they win today, I will still root for the Falcons.

Hopefully Vic Beasley's menu includes Tom Brady's face on a platter. My menu, I would say wings, meatballs, and some kind of chips/dip (preferrably nacho cheese).

Not sure what Colts fans have been saying this but I will say I don't know any so I can't speak to that. As far as Elway>Montana, yes, adding Terrell Davis was huge, but Montana had a legendary HC, maybe the best WR of all time (granted for only 2 of his SB wins), and often times a great defense. That beats the RB situation. Elway was better.

I'm sure I'll take heat for saying this but I still believe Manning > Brady. # of super bowl titles is a good measuring stick but it doesn't say everything. Elway > Montana and Bradshaw and I'll stand by that belief for the rest of my life. Regarding Manning vs Brady, here's how their teams have done without them. Pats have gone 11-5 and 3-1 without Brady. After Manning, Colts went 2-14 and looked horrendous. And the Broncos who won the superbowl because of their defense last year fielded mostly the same defense this year and missed the playoffs. That speaks volumes louder the # of rings.

So glad others are able to see this. I want a franchise QB just as bad as the next person. And I do believe you need one to be playoff competitive. But you need to scout the QBs and find someone you truly believe in. Even if that means waiting another year or two. If you evaluate the QBs and don't see anyone you are confident in, it's just boneheaded to say "well we need one so, even if we don't like any QBs, we need to reach for one".

Sounds like he's describing the fan support the Patriots were getting before the Brady/Belichick era.

Yeap, I was in 6th grade at the time and now my nephew is in 6th grade.

McDermott: So, after losing the Superbowl last year the first thing I thought was 'I know exactly what team will give me my first HC job'
