The Patriots won the Super Bowl, in case you're just catching up. They came back from a deficit of approximately a trillion points to win the only overtime game in the 51 game history of the championship, and Ohio State players and alumni watched it all unfold on Twitter.
Also, quick side note, congrats to Ohio State's Nate Ebner, who makes the pain of dealing with yet another Tom Brady ring somewhat more bearable.

I'm already nauseous thinking about the Patriots underdog story that'll be shoved down our throats when they come back to win this.

As crazy as this game is going, as long as there is time on the clock, u can never count Tom Brady out.

Am I the only one thinking that the patriots are going to find a way to win this?

It was fun while it lasted, but unfortunately the end of the Super Bowl means the end of football... for a few weeks, until spring camp starts and then the draft and then... well, you get the idea. The point is, all is not lost. And Tom Brady will eventually have to retire. Or maybe he could just continue to walk this earth like some unholy lich-king and win Super Bowls ever other year or so. Who knows!
In any event, keep watching the skies: football is never far away.
