With every rendition of Neil Diamond's accidental anthem to Boston, New England Patriots fans - many of whom are spending a small fortune to attend the Super Bowl today or still desperately seeking tickets to the game - sang along. They stood on wobbly bar chairs waving Coors Light bottles and, of course, chanting on cue. Good times - at a bar inside a strip mall north of downtown Phoenix - had never felt so good.

"So good! So good!" the people shouted.
