Strange Sundays

I had the strangest experience on Sunday. After watching Troy Polamalu pick off Matt Cassel in painful game for Pats fans, I didn't experience the usual giddy glee that occurs whenever the Pats do poorly.

Thing is, it's awfully hard to feel good about cheering against a guy like Cassel, a back-up who is clearly in over his head (no matter what the pundits seem to think about his future prospects - this guy is middling QB at best).

Is it possible that I actually miss Tom Brady?
