The Super Bowl is over. At this point, I have good news and bad news. The good news: The game lived up to the hype. The bad news: The game generated an incredible amount of post-game hype. Let’s take a look.

Topic: Bill Belichick leaving the field with one second left.
Hype: What a poor sport! (“Maybe he wanted to beat traffic,” Eli Manning told David Letterman.)
Reality: He had to take an urgent phone call from John McCain about Super Tuesday strategy. Besides, if someone had told him there was actually one second left, he would’ve found a way to win the game.
