So OK, congrats to the Patriots for a pretty amazing comeback win last night.
Tom Brady is probably the best ever at quarterback. And maybe it's because he cheats. Or maybe not.
And you can argue that Bill Belichick is the best coach ever. And maybe it's because he cheats. Or maybe not.
And maybe New England is the best franchise ever. And maybe it's because they cheat. Or maybe not.
I say, "Teach the controversy".
Anyway, the top trending hashtag on Twitter this morning is #NotMySuperBowlChamps, and it's all about setting the game as a metaphor for the election and gloating about it.
We're all so clever.
It's the spectacle that's important - especially to The Daddy State. Bread and Circuses. It gets the blood up and inspires us ever forward.
And yes, I know - the whole bit about drawing the parallels with Rome and the Gladiators is old and tired. But y'know what? If it wasn't so fucking obvious all the fucking time, maybe we could stop doing it. Or maybe not.
I'm just glad I can put it down and walk away again - for a while.
