I have a little confession to make, even though I grew up in New England, I really don't follow the Patriots. Back in the late 80s the Patriots, well, sucked. The Red Sox and the Celtics dominated conversations. My, my, times have changed. I still don't follow football, and I would have missed that it was Superbowl Sunday except there was this wall of chips that the supermarket had set up right inside the door. It sorta tipped me off. Twitter has a fun graph up about their traffic during the Superbowl. I really don't have anything insightful to offer. I'm just trying to get over my surprise that people were actually twittering while watching a football game.
