Can anyone tell me anything about the New England Patriots? And possibly this Superbowl I've been hearing so much about? And if it could be as dumbed down as possible, that'd be great.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

What is even happening?
What kind of anything, Jars? [link]
They play American style Football in the NFL (national football league). Their home stadium is located in Foxboro, Massachusetts (which is a little south of Boston). They've made it to five Super Bowl games in the last 20 years (four since '97), and won in three (2005, 2004, 2002). Tonight, in about 20 minutes, they're playing a play-off game in Denver, Colorado against the Denver Broncos.
The Super Bowl is the championship American football game for the NFL.
Anything else? Is your boy a Patriots fan?

Also, they're one of eight teams still going in the playoffs - this weekend will winnow it down to four (one is already gone from this afternoon's game, actually); the two teams that win next weekend will then go on to the Superbowl.

The team's quarterback appeared on SNL in his underwear last year. That's all I've got.

Is your boy a Patriots fan?
Yup. And I'm always making him watch rugby, so I thought I'd put in the effort. He's just run home to listen to tonight's game on the radio.
Thanks for the info; it's just the kind of thing I wanted.

And this will undoubtedly be the one fact I can actually remember.
Is he from the Boston area?
Yes, but don't ask me for specifics. I was impressed with myself when I knew which coast it was on.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Can anyone tell me anything about the New England Patriots?
They need to lose! (Because if they don't and Indy manages to win tomorrow, that's who they'd have to play, and the Pats and Indianapolis have a *history*.)
Go Colts!
Hee. Edited to note that I'm clearly not being helpful here.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
They've made it to five Super Bowl games in the last 20 years (four since '97), and won in three (2005, 2004, 2002).Huh. I was remembering the two losses. I sort of dated a guy from there for a bit. It was a really long time ago.
Unless it was Buffalo. Might have been Buffalo.
This was obviously one of those important relationships where you kiss a stranger at midnight on NYE and then date for a few months. I know his birthday was April 1 but I can't recall his last name.
Oh, and it was Buffalo.
