We'll be grieving, but not for long

What is the appropriate mourning period for a Super Bowl loss?

Under normal circumstances, I'd say 10 days. But this time, when an unknown catches a pass with one hand on top of his helmet, it's not worth being down for more than a few days.

On top of his helmet! What are you supposed to do about that?

Besides, on Thursday the URI Rams go for their fifth win in a row against U. Mass. The Pats aren't the only winners around here.

The Rams are 19-3 and a good bet to make the NCAA tournament.

Not only that, but Spring Training starts for the Red Sox in less than two weeks. The defending World Champions play their first exhibition game Feb. 28.

So hang in there. This too will pass.

Well let me say im not a Pats or Giants fan but I did watch the game and saw how the Refs did not call any holds on the giants. There were alot of them, but with that being said the pats should have scored more points and would not have had to worry about anything. Im glad they lost with everyone annoiting them champs before the game. 18-1 means nothing now hahahahaha!

I say mourn less than a day.

Sure, it would have been nice to say the Patriots pulled off a piece of history. But, they can hold their heads high. Their 18-0 record still beats Miami's "undefeated season" of 17-0. They are still a great team and it will be a very long time before any other team even comes close to this year's Patriots accomplishment. They'll dust themselves off, console themselves with their multi-million dollar salaries, and move on.

To the URI rams -- Go Rhody!!!
