They (the Patriots) now owe us (their fans) TWO Championships

This years ,, plus losing to the Giants in the last minutes from a couple of years ago

Any team that has won even one championship owes its fans nothing more than an honest effort. The problem is that many franchises don’t make an honest effort. The Patriots certainly make the effort.

I loathe the Patriots, always have. Ironically, I rooted for them against the Giants, only because if they won, we wouldn’t have to listen to the BS from the ‘72 Dolphins anymore. It would have been welcome relief, similar to the end of “The Curse of the Bambino” crud after the Red Sox won it all in 2004.

If I were a Pats fan and honest about my team, I wouldn’t be all upset about the season. While the experts picked the Pats because they’re lazy and always pick them, I didn’t think they’d be all that great. They proved me wrong and looked unstoppable—then picked the exact wrong time to lay an egg.

But that’s OK, the “experts” will pick them to win it all again next year and will continue to cultivate the image of St. Brady The Unbeatable, despite the fact that this will be the sixth year in a row that the Pats haven’t won it all.

What I’m looking for this afternoon/tonight—One game will be rock ‘em-sock ‘em as predicted, the other won’t be nearly as close. I have no predictions except that (a) it’ll be cold, (b) the announcers will talk too much, (c) their announcements will all sound as canned and pre-packaged as they are, and (d) whoever wins, all the experts will announce that everything turned out as they predicted, whether they predicted it or not.

Then comes almost two weeks of bullshit before they actually play the big game.
