Ali and Frazier. Chris and Martina. Bird and Magic.

Brady and Belichick.

This is getting fun from afar, isn’t it?

It’s easy to say what’s most fun, too. It’s not Tom Brady, at 43, winning in Tampa Bay, as Benjamin-Button-admirable as that is.

It’s Bill Belichick losing in New England. And losing. And losing yet again for a third straight Sunday.

The only missing element from the Patriots’ wonderful downfall is the TV networks’ shots of owner Bob Kraft. For two decades we were subjected to his high-fives. What, we’re not allowed to see him numb?
