| Hey Wes, "almost" doesn't count. |
This particular article is called "A Tale of Two Catches" and basically stated the game was decided in two or three plays. Yeah, I don't want to talk about it. I'm sick of reading about "How the Pats lost the game" or "another devastating loss". Enough already. We get it. I will say though, that both teams made some stupid mistakes. Twelve men on the field? I'm sorry but have you ever played football before? Oh, yeah, maybe you forgot but you guys get paid millions of dollars to catch a ball, wear tight pants, and tackle the other team. I mean everyone makes mistakes, but really? That shouldn't happen.
This article, and every other article uses a lot of pathos evidence to get the readers even more emotional about the big loss. And of course, brings up how if Gronk was healthy they would've won. "If the Pats had had a healthy Gronkowski, they probably win this game. But they didn’t. And when the chips were down, Brady and the Patriots couldn’t get the job done – and Manning and the Giants did." (Kamiya 1). Okay, enough excuses. We lost. Finding a reason for it doesn't change anything.

it was truly heartbreaking to watch this superbowl, but at least we made it that far.
ReplyDeleteDid you hear the controversy Giselle started after the game? Reporters were bombing her with questions and snide remarks of 'Eli owns Tom' and such. "My husband can't ******* throw the ball and catch it, too." And she didn't want to apologize, either. Hah. I like her attitude.
