The New England Patriots against the Atlanta Falcons. In Super Bowl XLI. I think this may be the first Super Bowl I’ll watch without actually rooting for a team. Can I root against both teams?
Okay, so, that’s not actually possible. One team has to come out on top, and I guess that means I’m rooting for the Patriots. Because as much as I can’t stand Tom Brady and his face, at least they’re not division rivals.
I could deal with the Saints winning in 2010, because that was a really nice and inspiring story, but the years following that soured me on that perspective.
