I don't know why, but I really don't like the New England Patriots at all. I think it stems from a few years ago when they beat the Raiders in the AFC championship game which caused the infamous "Tuck rule". In that play, Tom Brady went to throw a pass, decided not to and brought the ball back down to his waist, and then had the ball knocked out of his hands. With that fumble. the Raiders were to win the game and go on to the Superbowl. But the referee said that it was an incomplete pass, and the Patriots went on to win the game. So with that history behind us, I was glad to see the Patriots lose today. I didn't expect it to happen, but I was glad to see them lose. Another reason I don't like them is that their coach is a poor sport. Also, throughout the season, when they would beat teams, they would laugh and talk smack which is also poor sportsmanship. So now they will go down in history as the best team to not win the Superbowl. And that is pretty awesome.
