There has never been such a comeback in Super bowl history. They came back just before the game ended. People thought the Fal- cons tasted victory before they won. It was not to be for Atlanta. The game went into the first overtime in SB history. They flipped a coin, the Patriots called heads and they got the ball first. This was the first OT in Super Bowl history and it didn’t last long. Many Falcons’ fans raged and Patriots cheered. In a few quick plays, the Patriots got it down the field and were able to get the TD [touch down] for the Super Bowl win with a run. This was Tom Brady’s 5th Super Bowl win. PAGE 5 JUST PRINT IT VOL XVII ISSUE 144 The History of Should Pokémon cards be Valentine’s Day banned from school?

Along with these activities, the festival will feature plenty of live music, food, vendors and an art and film exhibition. The centerpiece of the festival will be the Walk of Hope which allows those affected by these afflictions the opportunity to remember loved ones who have lost their battle. This “Walk of Hope” will continue throughout the festival and encompass the entire festival grounds of the Cantine Veterans Memorial Complex located in Saugerties, NY. We have to say the Patriots fought for it and it paid off for the win. Too all those Patriots fans who turned the channel, it is too bad you missed it. Perhaps it was the best Patriots victory of all time.
