In 1969, El Salvador launched air strikes on the capital of Honduras shortly after El Salvador defeated Honduras in the World Cup.  That's right: the winners of a soccer game used live ordnance against the losers.  Now we're experiencing similar due to Super Bowl 42.

Yes, I'm a denizen of Patriots Nation.  Yes, I was certainly looking forward to a 19-0 season.  Yes, I was shocked at that final touchdown.  But I dealt with it the same way we've done whenever the Red Sox missed Reversing The Curse: I went on a two-week bender and turned on the Celtics, and have even mocked those fans who have signed a petition to overturn the results of the game.  And yet Arlen Specter's similar crusade, presumably fueled over how we mopped the floor with his home team the Eagles, passes the laugh test even though it comes from the very same demented place.

Look, Giants fans: I'll admit we probably had that humbling coming.  But this isn't the first time you've won a Super Bowl, so act like it.  You don't need the special license plates, and you sure as hell don't need the sore-winner witch hunt over how Bill Belichek supposedly cheated simply because all the Pats' Super Bowl wins came in a four-year period.  All you're doing is making us that much angrier come next season.
