Oh, man

Ryan Freebern updates the poem, ending with:

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are celebrating, somewhere children laugh,
But there is no joy in Boston - mighty Brady missed the pass.

A Touch of Insanity: Next up: Britney Spears wins Mother of the Year award, hell freezes over, pigs fly, etc. etc. etc.

Jimmy: I must say, getting out of bed this morning was a pretty Goddamn difficult task.

Susan H.: We got gob-smacked. It hurts.

Jim Sullivan: In a stunning turn of events, Wile. E. Coyote yesterday caught the Roadrunner and ate him.

Berryjooks says the team remains the best Patriots team he's ever seen, but, I still feel like puking though.

Beth: I really, really wish we'd gone for the field goal instead of the end zone on that 4th and 13.

Emily Gouillart reports from New York City: Oh my God, New York City, shut the fuck up, it's just football!

Jay Fitzgerald: The better team won.

Pax Arcana: Mercury Morris can choke on it.

Jon Dyer explains how he made the Pats lose - by making the Super Bowl the first game he watched all season. Fox in Detox explains why it's all her fault for taking her Brady T-shirt off before the game was over:

This simple, yet seemingly harmless event started a chain reaction that will haunt me forever. As soon as the shirt came off, my telepathic connection with Tom Brady was broken. By the time I realized what was happening it was too late. Even after I put the shirt back on, I could not re-sync our minds. I left HIM floundering.... and me? I forced myself to have to rely on pure telekinesis to move the ball, which as everyone knows, is akin to a padawan launching a solo X-wing fighter jet attack on a death star blindfolded WITH NO FORCE....it just ain't gonna happen.

Adam Reilly lists every possible Patriots jinx.

Jules Crittenden: The Curse of the Bundchen.

Chad Finn: Never would have thought before this season that 18-1 could feel so empty.

Richard Howe: You can explain it anyway you want, but I am going to explain it this way - the Patriots stunk last night.

Anne: I can ask no more of the Patriots than to play their hearts out every time they step on the field and I believe that they did that.

Ian: Yeah, I'm disappointed that the Patriots lost, but, damn, what a great game.

Kristen is at peace:

... You miss your chances sometimes but you don't stop loving your team when they lose. I didn't stop loving them in 1990 when they went 1-15 and I'm not going to stop loving them now. And like I said to my mom when I called her this morning to assure her that I was still alive and she didn't need to send anyone to my apartment to remove all the sharp objects, if the 2003 game 7 loss to the Yankees in the ALCS didn't kill me, this certainly isn't going to. ...
