The Owner's Box After Dark, Ep. 33.

It's officially the end of an era for the New England Patriots, who missed qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since 2008 and only the second time since Bill Belichick led them to an unexpected Super Bowl championship in 2001 following their 22-12 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. I take a look at that and offer my analysis of the ramifications of a playoff-devoid season.

I also give a shout-out to my Northwestern Wildcats, who gave a semi-pro team from Columbus a real battle in the fraudulent Big Ten Championship Game. I also explain why the NU athletic department regards me as a former letter-winner, even though my only athleticism for most of my life has been in my typing fingers.

I also add a look at a new coronavirus threat from the U.K. and how the Original Recipe COVID-19 virus is wreaking havoc locally with high school sports and my coffee habit.
