I just want to make one prediction right now.

73% of all Super Bowl articles submitted to newspapers and posted on blogs on Monday will talk about how karma came and bit the Patriots on the rear end. The Patriots got busted for cheated during the first game of the season, and when the season came down to it, after Asante Samuel drops an interception that would have ended the game, Eli Manning miraculously escaped the grasp of 200 Patriots pass rushers and heaved a prayer over David Tyree’s head that he pinned against his own helmet and kept from hitting the ground as his body nearly split in two at the waist. If you were rooting for the Patriots, as I was, when that play happened you said to yourself, “uh oh”.

I’m not sure that anything I believe can be classified as karma, but I have a feeling I’ll be hearing and reading that word a lot over the next few days. So be it, I suppose.

Congratulations to the Giants and their fans!

UPDATE: One of the biggest reasons I wanted to see the Patriots win was because I could not stand Mercury Morris from the 72 Dolphins and all the face time he received as the Patriots marched towards an unbeaten season. Well, hours after the Patriots loss, guess what video is the first to load on ESPN.com? Yeah, Mercury Morris of the 72 Dolphins talking about the game. Good grief!
