I pick the team that wins in the end. Can't go wrong with Team Wins In The End. Best team.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Guy walks into a car dealership looking to buy a new car. His company has four already, but it's his job to buy nice cars for his boss. After 3/4 of an hour, he still hasn't found the right one. It looks like he'll have to tell his boss it was a no-go this time. Wait, 45 minutes into it, he sees the exact car they need. He starts negotiating and checking out all the bells and whistles. It looks like this is going to be it! He closes the deal and says to the dealer, "I can't wait to bring this one home." As he walks away, the dealer, Brian37, says under his breath, "As if four cars wasn't enough. Egotistical asshole."
All the guy said was he was taking the trophy home, meaning to Massachusetts. He won it. Saying he can't wait to put it in our museum with the other ones is not egotistical. If he said, "See this bitch? I won it all by myself.," he would be egotistical. Don't be mad just because he's fucking amazing, and don't expect him to stop just because he had four. Like, what the fuck? He's really good. He's such an asshole for continuing to do that. Bah.

I was hoping for a Falcons win, but I have to hand it to NE. They made the adjustments they needed to stop the Atlanta running game and finally put together some offensive momentum early enough in the 2nd half to pull it off. A hell of a game, regardless of who one rooted for.

I know I'm biased but I have a really hard time seeing Brady as egotistical anyway. Last Super Bowl he gave away his MVP truck to Butler for the interception that helped win the game. This year he came out and said that White deserved the MVP rather than him. Just doesn't strike me as the actions / words of an egotistical guy.
Saying "We're bringing this [trophy] home!" is said by countless sports winners.

Look on the bright side Brian, it's not like he won at a proper sport, just rugby for wusses.

So Tibs do we average out both the regular season and playoffs to determine the winner ranks of the season, or are they kept separate?
