I stayed up to see the final ticks off the clock of the Patriots' second loss of the season (actually, I stayed up a lot later than that), so you can imagine my surprise when I unfurled the ProJo sports section this early morning and read "Patriots stay the course" and "N.E. holds off Miami, keeps pace with Pittsburgh". Perhaps my sleep-deprived brain had imagined at least two of Tom Brady's hope-destroying interceptions. Was it all a dream? It must have been; how else could the defending champs, winners of 26 out of their last 27 games, lose to the woeful 2-win Dolphins?
Alas, even Superman Brady can only throw so many completions while simultaneously being sacked, and the Pats did indeed lose. If they can shape up, though, hopefully it will be their last of the season. And with no more late-night games, I think we can expect the morning paper to get the story straight from now on.
Dewey Defeats Truman!
