Super Bowl ICE: As Brian Tuohy says, no coincidences...

Another interesting stat from Pro Football Reference to show how screwed up this is:

Patriots:

• Last two years before this one:  Both 4-13.
• Last or second to last in points and yards the last two years.  Bottom five in point differential and turnovers in that timespan.
• This year:  16-3, in the Super Bowl, second in points, third in yards, third in point differential, best in the league in yard differential.

Hmmmm... 

And yesterday, the State Department announced an official "Sports Diplomacy" partnership with the NFL.

Just...  saying... 

And, earlier in the week, "USA 250" patches on all Super Bowl uniforms for the 250th anniversary of the country.
