Another thing that shows disrespect is when the media constantly compares Belicheck to Vince Lombardi. Are you kidding me, tv experts? Lombardi wishes he was as good as Belicheck! Or at least he would if he wasn't so dead.
C'mon cheech...how many Superbowls would Smiley Jesus win with the Lions? Or even a middling team like the Dolphins?
How 'bout if he had Vandergajt instead?
In Ringo's defense those All-Star concert tours were probably a big financial success. And I think he had one hit solo song as well. That should put him at a solid fourth-place as a Beatle solo artist.
There might have been a touch of sarcasm there...
The Patriots did come back to earth a bit early in Jan 1997, but a few years later they were truly able to become Football Saviors.
Roo will still have plenty of jambands (Umphreys, MMW, Slip, MMJ and others are all but confirmed) but I think that the days of Widespread Panic headlining two nights are past.
SuperBowl XX was not a blowout. It was a closer game than the score would indicate...and it was a very important game historically. At that point the young Patriots allowed themselves to be sacrificed so they could rise again about 15 years later as the Jesus Christ of Professional Sport.
