Among the many things brought to mind by Whitney Houston's sudden death this weekend, was this realization I had (which is probably too much of an insight into how my mind works): Patriots fans can't make fun of the Bills anymore in the wake of this latest Super Bowl loss.
First, how we got here. Among the memories stirred by the death of Ms. Houston was her stirring rendition of the National Anthem before Super Bowl XXV. That Super Bowl is remembered for two things: that anthem and, well, let's call it "the final play," shall we?
However, this dawned on me as I was remembering that Super Bowl: The Patriots have now lost as many Super Bowls as the Bills have. For that matter, they've also lost as many as the Broncos and the Vikings, but that's not the point here.
And for those who point out the Patriots do have three rings to the Bills', um, zero, yes that is some salve for the soul, but here's the sobering kicker: the Patriots have now lost twice as many Super Bowls in heartbreaking fashion to the New York Giants as the Bills have.
Sigh.
