Interesting difference and I can see the ethic of it; however, it could also be seen as allowing the other to hold you hostage. True forgiveness has value regardless of the response of the forgiven.
What a game! I'm glad the Patriots won, I was getting sick of hearing about how great St Louis was. Those little buggers just find a way to win. They get the points where they can find 'em and have a tough defense to keep you off your game.
Way to go Patriots! (Now the Steelers don't look so silly.) I hope that next year at this time people will finally stop blabbering about how strong the NFC is and how weka the AFC is. It has now been, what?, 4 or 5 years with the AFC winning, the only exception being the Rams. But even they were three yards from a tie game at the end.
Face it, there is no NFC dominance anymore.
