BOSTON — Brushing aside the controversy over deflated footballs, jubilant New England fans gathered downtown Monday for a spirited send-off as the Patriots headed to Arizona for the Super Bowl. Several thousand fans packed City Hall Plaza in Boston, chanting “Brady!” and waving signs that read “Finish the Job,” ''In Tom We Trust and “Keep Calm and Go Long.” Brady told the fans his team will be relying on their support as it faces the Seattle Seahawks in Sunday’s NFL title game in Glendale, Ariz. Offensive lineman Dan Connolly, defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, defensive back Devin McCourty and wide receiver Matthew Slater also joined team owner Robert Kraft on the podium for Monday’s pep rally. Head coach Bill Belichick, beleaguered since the Patriots’ AFC Championship Game rout of the Indianapolis Colts by allegations that his team cheated by using underinflated footballs, didn’t mention the controversy. Over the weekend, Belichick insisted the Patriots followed NFL regulations and said he was done discussing the issue.
