WHY DID THEY LOSE???
Dear Tiffani,
Why did they [New England Patriots] lose???
Frank
Dear Frank,
The answer lies in applied mathematics, my friend.
First, addition. The Pats were ahead 34-28 when the Colts scored a touchdown, adding six points, and kicked a point after touchdown, adding one point, totaling 35 points. Then the game ended, and the mathematical concept of "greater than, less than" was applied, in this case 35 (Colts) > (greater than 34 (Pats), so the Colts were deemed to have won! It is so sad that our schools are not teaching the real-world application of subjects like mathematics and sonnet appreciation to America's students.
However, if you had asked me why the Pats went for fourth-and-two on their own 28 and tried a bone-headed one yard pass, my answer might have been different.

Tiffany,
Oh, now I got it. I was'nt to good at math in hi school.
Thanks for the clarification.
Frank
The real answer to the question is because Bill Belicheck is a self centered, ego driven, poorly dressed jerk. :)
