The Bad Guys

When I was very small, I remember hearing about the Iran-Iraq war. I asked my father the question that seemed sensible at the time: Who were the good guys, and who were the bad guys? My father explained to me, as best he could, that nobody in that war was the good guys, and that real life didn't work the way that TV did. It was a memorable lesson, and one I often think about when contemplating a Jets-Patriots matchup. Sometimes, there simply aren't any good guys.
