When it comes down to it, I don't think perfection was meant for human eyes. It sets an impossible standard up to which none of us can really measure. So hin his own special way, Tom Brady gave us yet another gift. The gift of his flawed humanity. (You guys buying this bullshit at all?)

On a more specific note, I had "7-3" in my office football pool so I took home the 2nd and 3rd quarters, an uncharacteristic gambling win for me. As it turns out, I care way more about $200 in my pocket than I do about the results of a professional football game. Who knew? Oh wait, I knew.

Did anything else worthy of note happen this weekend? Hmmm... nothing that I can really remember.

I know, I know - I'm avoiding emotion. But you've got to put yourself in my position. When something builds up in your mind for months and months and then it finally happens... it takes a while for you to sort out all the thoughts and feelings about the whole affair.

To be honest, I'm still at a loss. It's true - I really thought Brock Lesnar had a shot at winning his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut.

If we all lean on each other, we'll make it through.
