No one could Dear Utol (2025): Chick! Episode 47fault confused Boston Globesubscribers who woke up to an odd sight on their doorstep: a photo of a defeated Tom Brady with the headline: "A Bitter End."

As we learned Sunday evening, the Patriots are a relentless band of champions who can and will conquer even the biggest deficits. And early print deadlines just can't handle that kind of ferocious comeback.
