I enjoyed that. Sunday night was as close to pure joy as a sports fan as you're going to get.

Yes, I am a Patriots fan.

It is true.

I try my best not to reveal my fanhood on this show.

Try to be unbiased. Criticize Rob Rondkowski, criticizing Julian Edelman,

criticizing James White.

Oh no!

Of course it was James White, who played the hero in the Super Bowl,

the guy I called just a dude guy, the guy I said had only one special skill the ability to drop wheel routes

James White of all players played the hero and he should have been the MVP. The best

running back performance in Super Bowl history better than Roger Craig. So I may not

love James White's talent profile but I think he should have been the MVP of the Super Bowl.

I go out of my way making a concerted effort to be even more objective when it comes to the Patriots because I love that team.

It's my favorite team from childhood.

Tony Eason and Steve Grogan throwing the ball to Irving Friar, yes. And I remember those early 90s teams before Bill

Parcells arrived when it was really bad the one in 15 year I have a

subconscious affinity for the New England Patriots. But not only do I try to not allow my affinity for that team to influence my fantasy analysis. I try to not be a typical Patriots fan either.

The typical entitled Patriots fan who thinks that the Patriots should win championships every year.

The Red Sox should win the World Series every year.

We're entitled to these championships.

This is commonplace.

Just making it to the championship game isn't enough.
