Fighting out of the good corner: a lovable underdog who has appeared in one previous Super Bowl (XXXIII) from a city that has won exactly one Championship in its history (168 previous seasons of professional sports). Its STST thread boasts a whopping 490 posts to date, but the quality is high with contributors including JudgeHoldem, TJ Eckleburg, hard2tel, nichp, and mmbt0ne.
The key players:

And out of the evil corner: a despicable franchise that has won far too many Super Bowls, games, and everything else hailing from an overly arrogant city with a despicable fanbase. Its STST Thread has a lot of bad posts by a lot of bad posters with the following boasting more individual posts than the entire Falcons thread: LetsGambool, Salva, youtalkfunny, Goodie, and Prawney. A true murderer's row of posters.
While we're on the subject of murder, let's not forget that this team employed a serial murderer at TE for multiple years, OOPS:
THE BEST COACH IN FOOTBALL: BILL BELICHICK
QB: CONVICTED CHEATER TOM BRADY
AN ARMY OF WHITE RECEIVERS: JULIAN EDELMAN, CHRIS HOGAN, DANNY AMENDOLA, et al.

He made two hires, Parcells and Belichick, got out of the way, and created a sports empire with the help of Brady. Kraft GOAT
