Wrap-Up Part Deux: EXCEPT in 1972

I just realized: the Patriots choked, and I think it's the biggest choke-job ever. They were RIGHT on the edge of history and they fucked up. Sure, the Yankees took a week to die in 2004, but the Patriots died in front of an international television audience. Even the English are probably substituting Beckham and Rooney World Cup red cards with empty Tom Brady to Moss hail marys as the preferred sports analogy for failure, and being slower than Seau and Bruschi's 40 times as a sports analogy for inability to read. Even Dolphins fans can mock them next year, with history on their side, and I mean 35 years ago, not this recent 1-15 job. Mercury Morris sure is starting to:
If I had control of some of Mercury and the Dolphins' champagne, I'd be sending some Eli's way, but Morris won't because of his superiority  complex towards defeated teams. Somewhere in Anaheim, Torii Hunter is wondering if he can somehow go undefeated so he can send champagne to someone who defeats a team that tries to go undefeated in that same discipline.
