"The biggest choke in all of New England sports history"...

By Lindsay

according to Boston.com writer Eric Wilbur. Some excerpts:

"Whether this was the most heartbreaking loss in Boston history boils down to a matter of personal opinion of cowhide over pigskin, or vice versa.

"Whether it was the worst loss is certainly up for debate. In time, the Manning Escape will go down in Boston sports infamy, like Bucky Dent, Bill Buckner, and Aaron Boone before it.

"But to ask whether it is the biggest choke in all of New England sports history is a no-brainer: It absolutely is."

"In their grandest moment, the game they told us was the most important of their lives, the Patriots choked like no other Boston team in history. What other team in NFL history has failed to close the deal on a historic season by losing the Super Bowl? None. Just your New England Patriots, forever to be linked with the worst loss in the game?s history."

What's funny is that literally, no one wants to talk about it. Even class, it was a quick sentence or two, and then "but I don't want to talk about it". Our contracts professor is lucky to have walked out of class with her life after trying to make us feel better by saying that it was a good game. Poor thing... this is her first year in New England. She didn't know. :)
