Yes, ladies and gents - that was MC Hammer you saw during those commercials, parachute pants and all!
Anyways, on to the breakdown, and Page 2's Simmons says it best - "I've seen 80 year-old men use a urinal with more urgency" -- ESPN's Bill Simmons, on the Eagles' last 6 minutes (ESPN.com). Seriously... what were they thinking? I bet my man Diamond Don was freakin' out as he watched them mosey up to the line. I mean, I love McNabb ('Cuse baby!) but dude - have you ever heard of a hurry up offense?
Regardless - hats off to the Pats - that performance was stellar, especially after such a medicore first quarter. Deion Branch just cemented himself star status. si.com's Peter King said the kid was a real class act too (King met him on the HBO NFL Set) so let's hope he sets a better example than Randy Moss.
Moving on - here is the paragraph all New England will love... DO YOU NOW UNDERSTAND HOW IT FEELS? The raw, unadulterated knowledge of winning, time and again? This is how it felt to be Yankee fan '96 - '00. A good, solid group of players, a culture that promotes winning, and a defined leader. Folks, Tom Brady is the same ilk as Jeter. I have heard for years now how Nomar had better stats, A-Rod had more power and better range, blah blah blah, and I always countered with Jeter's leadership, and they laughed at me. Well, you know what? Check Tom Brady's stats - there are several QB's better than him the past four years, including Peyton and oh, the guy who lost last night - but Brady has 3 of the last 4 rings.
Welcome, New England. You know have a leader - enjoy it while you can.

I'll always dislike the Yankees for the attitude of invincibility. I certainly hope, being from New England, that the Patriots don't have that sort of a problem. Look at UCONN basketball. They are good, they know it, and yet they still have class. What a shining example for the winners in sports everywhere to follow.
