Bizarro Super Bowl World

In an alternate universe — the same one where the Cleveland Indians are the 2007 American League Champions, perhaps — the New England Patriots are the 2008 Super Bowl Champions. Where is this bizarro world, you ask? It’s in Nicaragua, Romania, and several other countries around the world. I received an e-mail press release this morning telling me that all the t-shirts, hats, sweatshirts, and other stuff that had been printed up before last night’s game that had the Pats as Super Bowl Champs will be donated to a company called World Vision, which will be distributing them to families in extreme poverty around the world. Apparently, after last year's Super Bowl game, the Chicago Bears apparel was distributed in Zambia in southern Africa, as well as in Chad, Chile, Bolivia, Democratic Republic of Congo, El Salvador, Romania, and Zimbabwe. So, next time you travel around the world, you may come across a place where the Pats did actually win the 2008 Super Bowl, just as they should have. And, now you know what happens to all that stuff after a big game.

Really???? That's it? The Patriots blow the opportunity for perfection to a team that went 10-6 in the regular season, in one of the best super bowls in the last 20 years, and all you have to say about it is that their T-shirts are being given to charity???? Come on... i know it's disappointing but give the G-men some credit at least! Don't just cover over it with a lame t-shirt donation story!
