Belichick is jovial and BORGES IS GRILLIN' UP SOME CROW
These are indeed strange times we be livin' in...
Ron has had an epiphany. Says a Dynasty ain't over 'til it's over, and this one isn't over no matter what happens next Sunday...
This may be Bill's greatest victory...to date.

INDIANAPOLIS — Crow is probably not the healthiest of meals and arguably not the tastiest either, but sometimes it is well deserved. Today, as the NFL kicks off Super Bowl XLVI week, it seems an appropriate dining experience.
On Nov. 7, the Herald ran a lengthy obituary for the Patriots [team stats]’ long-running dynasty following their 24-20 loss to the team they will meet again Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Super Bowl XLVI, the New York Giants.
“Dynasties do not end in spectacular collapse or fiery conflagration. They end from the corrosive effect of winning, eaten bit by bit until the edge is no longer on your side of the line of scrimmage . . . That’s how the good old days become the good old days — one small mistake at a time until your edge is gone and what is left is one dogfight after another.
“That is who the Patriots are now. They are a team doing its best, but not always enough. They are not a dynasty any more. They are a team running with the pack: closer to the head of it than the rear but headed in the wrong direction.”
Thus inspired by yours truly, the Patriots didn’t lose another game. They won 10 straight to reach their fourth Super Bowl in the past 11 years under the direction of Tom Brady [stats], Bill Belichick and Bob Kraft, and I’m glad I could help.
Quote:
While one can argue the merits of the Patriots dynasty over those of the Packers, Steelers, 49ers and Cowboys, with their return to Super Bowl XLVI there’s one thing you can’t argue: A dynasty ain’t over till it’s over. So, excuse me while I go broil the bird and wash down some crow with a bottle of cabernet from Drew Bledsoe’s Doubleback Winery.

Tremendous. Borges must have had a rare misty-eyed moment at his keyboard. We all knew, deep down, he was a homer.
That one phrase in there "...and I'm glad I could help," is an echo of Borges' egocentric self, as if he's had anything to do with the Patriots' success.
My guess is he's grateful to Bill Belichick and Bob Kraft for hiring him to operate the scoreboard so he could flicker the lights and toggle the down indicator when the opposing kicker is trying to figure out if he's on deck.

Nah, I think that was his attempt at you can't laugh at me because I'm laughing at myself so it's OK you're all laughing with me spin...
I think he's also sending a message that he'd love a hug and sitdown, but I'm not sure even jovial Bill is quite THERE yet... He and Tuna eventually buried the hatchet, but in that case it didn't have to be extracted from Bill's back first. This may be the extraction, we shall see... Would be nice if it happened since unless he croaks Borges is going to be the guy presenting Bill, Tommy and Robert for HOF induction over the next decade or so.

You can't bury the hatchet when one of you is always poised to use it on the back of the other. I wonder if Borges ate crow on TV. When I saw his ugly mug on the 11:00 news last night I immediately switched the channel. I am sure he is still hoping for a screw-up in the Superbowl so he can take back his premature meal.

Yeah i'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, Borges's Big But moment

Ronnie has sunk pretty low. Once a scribe with national appeal. Now he grades Pats games and acts as Felger's foil 30 seconds/night. I guess when you get shut out of Foxborough, what really can he add. He's watching games on TV like most of us. And with boxing down the tubes, he hasn't been able to assault any cripples lately. I guess he and Tomase sit around in a circle jerk and reminisce
