Conspicuous in their absence from BT (in my flurry of posting this morning) are my thoughts on the Super Bowl. Really, does it merit any further comment than what you've no doubt already seen?
Of course I'm heartbroken, not just because the Colts were completely dominated after the first quarter, but also because a Super Bowl loss was not what they pissed away a chance at perfection for. I said on 12/27 after the Colts threw away immortality:
All I can say is that Indianapolis had damn well better win the Super
Bowl this year - throwing away a perfect season must pay off this year,
or I think we can finally put to rest this idea that Tony Dungy was a
genius.
I had also confided privately to other friends after that debacle against the Jets in December that anything less than a Super Bowl victory would mean the season was a failure, and yes, by my standards, the season was exactly that. It would have been wonderful, years from now, to reminisce with my dad about "that perfect season in 2009" and how that was the best football team that ever stepped foot on a field.
Instead ... hmph. 16-3 and "first loser" status. What a crock, all the way around.
