You have to have a winner. You have to have a not-winner [that sounds so much better than loser]

I am writing this objectively, yes, I’m disappointed that the Falcons lost, they played their hearts out, tomorrow, I’ll be glad football season is over.  I’m not going to say they were beaten by a better team, they played a helluva game until the end of the last quarter.

What fans, no matter who they rooted for, have to remember and respect…the Falcons made it to the Superbowl for the first time in fifty-one years! They made it!  

Think about the Cubs…weren’t you pulling for them no matter who you support, they made it to the show! 

Yes, you have to have a winner, that’s just the way it goes, but the fact that they made it at all is what’s important and played hard and held the Patriots back for almost the entire game. They made the Pats work for it, a team that has been to the Superbowl how many times? They forced an overtime…the first one in Superbowl history! These are records not to be discounted.

I actually watched most of the game and I was right there with you, well, with the Falcons fans hoping, screaming, cheering, mouth open in disbelief. I didn’t know how the game would turn out, but I had hope. I knew that it was likely if the Pats didn’t win, they would make it again in the future, but I was pulling for the Pats. 

To my friends and family who cheer for the Pats congrats on another championship. To my friends and family so cheered for the Falcons,  congrats to making it and there’s no stopping you getting there again!
