I was wrong. I don’t think I have ever typed those words with such a stupid slapstick smile on my face. I am exhausted, I am viciously hungover, but I am also happy. On Sunday night I figured out why I have loved rooting for the Patriots so much this season. When asked why I am a fan of the Patriots I have traditionally responded that I am a fan of greatness. But it’s more than just that.
I respect the greatness of the Golden State Warriors. I don’t begrudge them or root against them. But I’m not a fan.
