Super Bowl LI: Thoughts Before Sunday

Super Bowl LI is just a few days away as I write this. My favorite team is in it: the New England Patriots. I'm excited and nervous and anxious. I just read a column in the NY Times which predicted that the Atlanta Falcons would win the game, but I can't bear imagining that scenario.

One thing I find myself doing: praying to my high powers that if the Pats get this one, "I won't need any more Super Bowls." Of course, that's lame: I want the Pats to keep winning the Super Bowl for as long as I'm alive! Still, I'd like to win this one: a fifth Super Bowl win would cement the dynasty.

Go Pats!
