I refuse to apologize for air-quoting the word epic to describe Super Bowl LI. It was, is, and should forever be seen as the worst choke-job of all time rather than a heroic comeback. That…
It would have been hard to imagine entering Super Bowl LI that for those out there sick of the New England Patriots’ reign of terror for a decade-and-a-half, the worst was yet to come. But…
