Why the Patriots Were Bound to Lose

I told my friend that, even with two minutes left in the game and the Pats up, I felt the Giants were going to win. Why? I recently absorbed the lesson of Greek tragedy: hubris will get you every time, and too much success breeds failure. You have to know yourself: you are not a god or an animal, but a man. (That's what that Socratic principle means, not 'Sit around all day introspecting.')
