Blog Riotus down until recovery

Pats lost to the Colts in the AFC Championship game after leading for 59 minutes of the game. I am upset (but not a sore loser; Peyton Manning was literally unstoppable in the second half).

What is going on with Bill Belichick maybe LT wasn't so far off? He snubbed Peyton and seriously has never looked very gracious in defeat. He really looks like a little kid when he looses. His speech after the game was not what I expected. In terms of class…I wouldn’t say the Patriots are full of it. I think class is either something you have or don’t have. By Shawn Merrimon talking all week, the classy thing to do would be to not address it. Its not that I think what the patriots did was necessarily wrong. I mean someone acting like Merrimon did would probably piss me off too but just because a guy does something annoying does not give you the right to act annoying back. Its not an eye for an eye system. You either have class or you don’t. There are certainly players on the patriots team that have class (e.g. Teddy, Troy Brown, Brady). I think they showed their class after the defeat but you can’t say the Pats as an organization are classy, there are simply too many players on a football team. Anyways probably not what you wanted to hear after the defeat but I wanted to respond to the last too entries.

Although I do not agree with much of Blog Riotus says I will say that Belichick was leading the game for 59 minutes and then saw the game slip away in the final seconds, how do you expect him to act after a heartbreaking loss? He is an NFL head coach and puts countless hours into preparing for games and then after probably the most devastating loss of his career you want him to act all positive and give Peyton a high 5 after the game. He does not care what other people think about him, he cares about winning and winning only.
