BC-FBN-SCHMUCK-COLUMN:TB — sports (700 words)
Like many of you, I’ve grown weary of the New England Patriots.
They are, quite frankly, too good, and the combination of their pretty boy quarterback, grouchy genius of a head coach and historically advantageous competitive environment has contributed to a national case of Patriot Derangement Syndrome.
That doesn’t mean that I don’t respect their accomplishments or don’t believe that they have become the most dominant franchise in the history of the National Football League. They certainly have and this past season — and Super Bowl — is proof of that.
