Superbowl Fallout: Jackass fans and media

I'm a Patriots fan. I bleed Pats red, white & blue. I love my Pats, even during the Pete Carroll/Drew Bledsoe years.

I was disappointed they didn't win the Superbowl. Just like everyone else. But the amount of hate I've seen from fans and non-fans alike is just ridiculous. Even the media is in on it, looking for any story they can get.

I don't remember ever seeing this much hate against the losing team. EVER.

It's pathetic in a way.

The Giants won. Congrats to them. Replay the game 10 times, they probably would only win 2 or 3 of those times. Any real fan of football will realize how much luck had to do with that game. Luck plays a part in every win, to some degree, usually pretty minor. But this game? Luck was huge.

They lucked out with Welker dropping the ball. They lucked out on the Manningham catch (out of 10 times, he drops that ball 8 out of the 10 times). And they definately lucked out on the fumble recovery.

But what really has me going is the stuff that's been happening since. Let's list it out:

1) That guy that dropped the butterfingers, with a note for Welker, in Copley Square?

You are a jackass.

There is no other word to describe you. I am ashamed that you are a Patriots fan. To do that is unbelievably pathetic.

I hereby kick you out of Patriots Nation. We have no need for morons (and that's an insult to morons, including you with them) like you.

2) Saying Brady's legacy is tarnished?

What are you people smoking? So he lost 2 superbowls. In a couple years when he's a first ballot hall of famer, no one will really care. Jim Kelly lost 4 superbowls, in a row, and it's just a footnote in his legacy.

Brett Favre won one superbowl his entire career and played for awhile after that (1995 to 2010 or 2009 whenever he finally called it quits). He never made it to the big game again. Does that tarnish his legacy?

I know it's a slow time now for football news, but seriously?

3) Mrs. Tom Brady's comments. Gisele was heckled by Giants fans leaving her suite and she yelled out that "my husband can't f-ing throw the ball and catch it at the same time".

And this is a big deal why?

First off, those Giants fans are jackasses for bothering her. Want to heckle other fans? Go for it. The players? Go for it? The players wives and kids?

GROW UP!!

As for Gisele? Doesn't bother me in the slightest. She was frustrated. Tom Brady didn't play his best game, throws could have been better, but there were balls that should have been caught and if so, the Patriots would have won. There really is no denying that.

Should she have made the comments? No. Because of the media reacting how they did. If the media weren't such jackasses, this would have just blown over.

Ridiculous.

4) Matt Light and Rob Gronkowski partying it up the night after the loss. These video/photos, which were shot from a private Patriots party (what jackass decided to send this out, not a real fan huh?), show the two having a good time after the game.

People are complaining that they shouldn't have been that happy, or having a good time.

Why?

How do you blow off steam after a big loss or bad day? Do you wallow in it? No. Everyone says that you have to put it behind you.

So guess what they did.

And it's wrong why?


I'm just glad that in another day or two this will all blow over.

Bring on the draft!
