In 2008 I watched the New England Patriots play the New York Giants in Superbowl XLII from halfway around the world in Pattaya. My team had coasted to a 19-0 record and were looking to close out a perfect season. Destiny was thwarted by a late drive in which the Giants QB miraculously connected with his receiver to propel them into history 17-14. I drowned my sorrow in beer.
Four years later the two teams are meeting in Superbowl IXL.
I left Pattaya two weeks ago for New York via Luxembourg and London.
Everyone in this city is rooting for the Giants, even Jets fans.
But not me.
I remain true to my roots.
It’s GO PATRIOTS from start to finish.
And I can always drown myself in beer no matter what.
