You guys missed my point: for the last 2 weeks at work, all I've heard is the guys going on and on and on about how they're going to "crush" the Jets, run up the score, embarass them, etc. And if you watched the game, it was anything but an "embarassment". Brady played like crap. So... thankfully, I won't be hearing "Did you see his 5 touchdowns? I TOLD you they'd annihilate them!"
There will be no comments. You'd be hard-pressed to brag about this one. That's all I'm saying.
I don't give a flying fuck about the players themselves. I don't have to work with them, train them, get my coffee from them or anything else.
Funny how I have gotten so much shit over the years about how Yankees fans are so arrogant and won't shut up about their championships. Try living in Boston these days with Pats and Red Sox doing so well. You'll find reasons to cheer when they can't find any great reasons to gloat.
I remember quite distinctly not rubbing it in their faces when the Steelers won the Super Bowl. I just smiled for a few days. No such action in return.
Read what I said, not what you WISH I said.

(and the 17 points thing was joke... pretty obvious with the smiley face)
