I live in Indiana, where almost everyone is a Colts football fan. In 2006 I heard a lot of hateful things when my team, the Chicago Bears, played the Colts in the Super Bowl. For the past two weeks I have heard that same hatred directed towards the New England Patriots. I'm glad that they won this years' Super Bowl. I would love to go around to all of these haters and rub it in their face, but I played a lot of different sports growing up (especially baseball) and I was taught not to gloat or brag when you win... to shake the other guys hand and say good game.
Too bad these bad sports won't read this blog today. Deep down? I hope they feel bad about themselves and would learn from their disappointment, but (sighs) I know that will not happen.
Congratulations, New England! From a fan's stand point, this was a great game to watch.
