The Pendragon's Hall

Well, the Super Bowl is over and I at least picked the right team if not the right score. Deion Branch definitely deserves his MVP award as the one Patriot offensive player to play consistently well. Tom Brady was not his usual stunning self, but I think it can be argued that Donovan McNabb ought to be the MVP as it was his stupid mistakes, outweighing even Brady's, and three interceptions that doomed the Eagles. The defense played well. Terrell Owens played outstandingly well. It's interesting that McNabb can play pretty well but as soon as the game is important, say, the NFC title game or the Super Bowl he goes about to do all he can to prove Rush Limbaugh right when he claimed the black QB was overrated. All I have to say on that score is, "Happy Black History Month!" Congrats to the New England Patriots on winning their third title in four years--this means half of Philadelphia will be murdered by angry Eagles fans and store windows all along the way will be smashed by drunken Bostonians. Part and parcel of the game and the real reason big cities shouldn't be allowed to own football teams. At least they lost the presidency. One of these days Adam Vinatieri will be MVP when show-crazy football fans realize the Patriots would never have won these games without him. But for now, the New England Patriots reign supreme as the NFL's latest dynasty--by 3006 it will be the Bills' turn and perhaps next year we'll see the NFC actually find an answer to the AFC's dominance. Until McNabb learns to run a professional offense, this probably will not be the team.
