Too bad Hannah never had a chance to play elsewhere and get a ring--(he didn't, right? Never sure on these things). Seems like there's no shortage of long-time ex-Pats who finally get a ring with someone else. Like All-World Russ with the 49-ers and Matt Cavanaugh with the 86 Jints.
I'm old enough so that the Patsies were the "other" team in New England, the Giants of Sam Huff and Y.A. Tittle were the real team when I was a kid. Every kid playing a street touch game was Tittle, not Babe Parilli. So, even tho I held Pats season tickets for a lot of years in the 70s and early 80s, the Giants were always first in my heart. But, knowing they were clearly the inferior team yesterday made it easier to bear. They got a freebie as the second best team in 91 with "wide-right", so the gods of fate owed them one bad break.
Yesterday's game reminded me more of the Giants/Bears playoff game in 85, the years the Bears Super-Bowl-Shuffled all over the Pats. I'll still take that Bears defense over the Ravens.
