Over the last decade, as they have routinely been in the running for the Super Bowl title year in and year out, our local football team has taken more than its share of slings and arrows from the national media from the constant bitching about Belichick's surliness, Spygate, to Brady's endlessly changing hairstyles. Well, brace yourself for yet another media created controversy against the men from Foxboro. For the last decade, NFL teams in the Superbowl have ditched the NBA style individual introductions and hoopla in favor of a team introduction. Most people credit this change to the 2001 Superbowl Champion Patriots who chose to be introduced as a group rather than a cast of superstars, however a careful review of the record reveals that Belichick may have stolen this symbolic gesture from the 1996 Monstars who chose to be introduced as a team when facing Michael Jordan's Tunesquad in SpaceJam's Ultimate Game. There's no telling how long the Patriots will have to endure the fallout from such a discovery, but do stay tuned.
