Get a load of
this fucking column. Shank was writing, facetiously or otherwise, for a fortnight that the Eagles would not present a challenge to the Patriots and with last night's loss he does a complete 180 degree turn, which should surprise nobody who's familiar with Shank's 'work'.
MINNEAPOLIS — There was no incredible Patriots comeback this time. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick had the Patriots in position to shock the world once again, but on this night there was no crucial call overturned by video review, no Tuck Rule, no goofy decision from the rival sideline, no fanboy judge or league official to flip the script in favor of the Patriots in the final seconds.
Hard as it is to believe, the Patriots lost the Super Bowl Sunday night at U.S. Bank Stadium and they lost to the better team. Philadelphia’s backup quarterback, Nick Foles, had the right stuff and second-year coach Doug Pederson outfoxed The Hoodie as the championship-starved Eagles won their first Super Bowl, a 41-33 pinball special against the mighty Patriots.
Here's Shank using the passive voice in order not to put any blame on himself:
After weeks of mocking Patriots opponents we have seen the Tomato Cans and they are . . . the members of the Patriots’ defense.
The Patriots trailed for almost the entire game. The contest featured only one punt (Philadelphia), and the teams amassed more than 1,100 yards of total offense.
If you're of the mind to read further, don't bother - it's the standard game recap and Shank doing what he loves doing - burying a local professional sports team after a big loss.
