Ken Knight: Pats fans learn to eat crow, with a side of humble pie

LET ME PREFACE this by stating that I am not a Patriots fan, even though I was born and raised in Massachusetts. I have been a loyal, dedicated, die-hard Minnesota Vikings fan, never wavering since 1969.

I must take exception to Mark Morris’ comments in his Feb. 6 New Hampshire Union Leader column, “Super lessons from Sunday.”

First, he is right on the money when he states that the “experts” in the media beat up every facet of the game to the point of nausea. However, he made no mention of the fact that it started right here in New England in April, on NFL draft day, when the Patriots made the deal for Randy Moss.

That was precisely when the local sports media first mentioned the hollow words “19-0, Super Bowl 42 champions.” After being forced-fed this fraudulent information for eight months, I cannot begin to tell you how sickening this ordeal was!
