The Syndicate

And I didn't care for the halftime show, but that has more to do with my taste in musical performance.

Guy who called heads should have been MVP tbh.

Should have been White. 3TDs, a record number of receptions, and he never let the Patriots down all game (where Brady slumped terribly in the middle).

Since I was watching late, I avoided this thread. Sloonei's posts were most entertaining.

Just finished that game. What an epic thing. Just a bit gutted Martellus Bennett didn't get the winning TD, since he is the closest thing that exists to me being at all sporty.

Hamish was very excited. All his sports teams keep winning things all his life (for comparison, my home team won the rugby equivalent of the Super Bowl this year as well, so that was fun).

Most comforting.

I am obligated to be a patriots fan. My boss comes from Boston. My wife's American family come from Boston.

Hamish even has little patriots onesies.

Also, I have no love for the Falcons, so I'm all in on the Patriots, even though in my heart of hearts I believe "Patriots win the Super Bowl" is boring news.
