SpyGate Defines New England, Belichick

In the big ones since SpyGate in 2007, New England hasn't won a thing.

SpyGate was when New England was caught stealing signals from the Jets.

Belichick was fined half a million.

Since then, playing softies like Miami and the Jets and Buffalo, New England has done nothing special and Belichick has become the worst sport imaginable, inarticulate, rude, boring. He dresses like he coaches: ugly.

The Super Bowl looks terrific. Both teams are tough. The bad news is that the game is on CBS, where Jim Nantz and Phil Simms get worse by the quarter. Simms simply won't shut up and repeats in a high nasal whine what we just saw. He has never said a single thing remotely interesting. Nantz would rather be kissing the feet of billionaire golfers. Mute the sound, it's the only hope.

SF opened as a four-point favorite. The game feels like a toss-up.

Belichick's sideline attire consists of a tailored hoodie and a personality equal to a lawn Flamingo.

This Super Bowl will be very interesting. Pick is right about Phil Simms and Jim Nantz, though. How brutal will this telecast be with those two. Would prefer Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf.

What? A team from Boston is self-important and arrogant?
Stop the presses! We may have a scoop here!

It hurts me that Phil Simms is working this game. He is the worst. EVER

If those two are the worst, who are some of your favorites? I know they don't do pros, but I really like Brad Nessler with Todd Blackledge.

I wish it was going to be on Fox.

Simms did make I profound statement. "The pass went right between both of the defensive ends arms"
Say no more.

I'm going to watch this game on silent, and instead listen to some good music.
