Just like 1994 Bulls without Michael Jordan, my hunch is the Tom Brady-less Patriots will be just fine

For those of us who are old enough to remember the greatness of Michael Jordan, the best part about watching “The Last Dance” has been the way it’s served as a refresher course for things you already knew about a golden era of hoops but likely forgot because, you know, it happened 25 years ago.

Take, for instance, Episodes 7 and 8, which aired Sunday night. In between all the M.J. pettiness — and oh my God, if you didn’t cackle at a glassy-eyed Jordan smirking, shaking his head and saying “The Glove ... I had no problem with The Glove,” then I don’t know what to tell you — there were also some awesome nuggets.
