Your condensed guide to today’s daily papers.

Crap, that actually happened: We hoped we were having wing-induced hallucinations, but it appears the Patriots actually lost the Super Bowl 17-14. [Herald, Globe]

Seriously, where was the Tom Brady we know and love? John McCain met with voters at the Green Dragon Tavern in Boston yesterday, and stayed in the city to watch the Super Bowl. Which the Patriots somehow lost. [Herald]
