Lots of questions coming out of the Super Bowl...

Does the MVP of the Super Bowl go back to being a backup QB, or is he gone next season?
Will Brady be back?
Will Gronk be back? (I don't think so... the man has taken a tremendous pounding to his boddy, and just coming off a concussion, not to mention his forearm is about done)
Will Belichick be back?

I think Foles can probably write his own ticket and will go elsewhere...but hopefully he is smarter about it than Osweiler was with the Broncos. (He was not the mvp, but otherwise similar situation.)
No way Brady and Belechick go out on a loss. Brady is still at the very top of his game. Both teams played well, it was a good game. Just didn't go their way.
Gronk may be done, though.

Congrats to the Eagles. They outlasted the Patriots and played a complete game.

It was an entertaining game. Lots of offense and it looked like both defenses took most of the night off. Brady and Gronk almost came up with a TD at the end but it was not to be :(

I knew the achilles heel of this Pats team was the defense. It was a horror show in the season opener, showed signs of greatness at times, but ultimately turned back into a rotten pumpkin. I feel kinda bad for Malcolm Butler. He played himself into the doghouse and his being in the game would not have made a difference but he should of at least got to play a few defensive snaps. He is gone for sure next season.

Brady and Belechick will be back.

I hope Gronk plays one more season but I can understand if he walks away.

Disappointed today but hey, 5 SB titles over the last 16 years and 2 championships within the last 4 years ain't too shabby!

We may not be getting the grandslam of sports championships this year but we have a shot at a trifecta! Celtics are looking good, Bruins are playing way better than anyone (myself included) expected, and the Red Sox are contenders even if they don't sign JD Martinez.

Today is truck day in Boston. Truck day is the day the Sox equipment truck heads to training camp. Bring on spring!!

It really was a good game and I surprised myself for staying up for the whole thing. Congrats to the Eagles!

We had a 2 hour delay due to black ice. I am so over this winter. Where's that freaking groundhog, so I can kick him!

Now, back to football... my husband is traumatized by the Danny Devito ads and swears he's never eating another m&m. ;;D

Did anyone see where the Patriots defense ran off too before kickoff? They could have used them last night...any defense would have been better than what showed up last night. Pitiful....

How did your fiancee react to the Eagles win? Did she try to comfort you when you cried or did she say "The Steelers would have won against theEagles tonight". Next year, ghost, next year.....

Well I’ll draw you a mental picture sir. A very attractive red haired woman walking around our house flapping her arms screaming
“FLY EAGLES FLY! THE MINIONS OF HELL HAVE BEEN DETHRONED!!!” It was cute, I’ll admit. The gleeful smile was a bit maniacal at times but I took my defeat with as much grace as a life long patriots fan could be expected to. I also got a kiss after all the gloating with the disclaimer that she still loves me very much but that she was really happy she didn’t have to wear my Patriots jersey to work..lol
