Tha Bears? Oh, they blow. Don't bother playing that game and just have the league hand over the Lombardi.It will be less humiliating for Chicago that way. Good. Now we can get even for 1985. We'll do to them what they did to us.
WRONG!
The Pats defense is exhausted from the week before in San Diego and can hardly stand up, let alone actually play a down, come the 4th quarter. Enter- Seyton Manning with 11 guys on his side and NOBODY across from them on the other side of the ball. Record set for most points scored in a second half of a playoff game. NO Super Bowl after winning 21- to EFFING THREE!!!!

The next year, the season for the ages. Chris Collinsworth crowns them "Best Team Ever In The History Of The NFL" on Football Night In America. One more game and my team will be put atop Mount Olympus as the greatest ever. The 2007 Patriots SET EVERY RECORD EVER KEPT for the sport of football.
NOBODY HAD EVER SEEN FOOTBALL PLAYED TO THIS LEVEL.
WRONG!
What's this?! LOGAN MANKINS took a bribe and is throwing the Super Bowl? He's just letting Justin Tuck punch him in the mouth and stomp him on his way into the backfield to ruin The Pats offense. As far as I'm concerned, Logan Mankins can go to Hell with that contract garbage. Justin Tuck slapped the beard right off his face and made him his beeatch.
Oh my God, The Patriots actually scored a second touchdown. Kick ass. Man, Tom Brady is the coolest guy ever born to mankind. Gee, that means The Patriots are only TWENTY FIVE points below their regular season average of 39 per game. And it'll probably be enough to complete the greatest accomplishment ever in the history of the world and make my whole life worthwhile, regardless of whatever may happen in the future. None of that will matter now. The Patriots went undefeated. I get terminal cancer next year? Ha. Won't matter. It won't bother me. The Patriots went 19-0. I can die happy. You'll never be able to wipe the permanent smile off my face and the euphoria and joy in my heart that'll last me for the rest of my life.
WRONG!!!!!!!
The Patriots OLD defense is gassed. Yeah, remember that defense from the PREVIOUS season? The one that choked away The Super Bowl? Oh no, it's the same guys out there. Look at that. They're too old and tired to tackle Peyton's little bother, Eli. Throw in some bad karma over Sypgate and God reaches down and makes sure the ball sticks to Tyree's helmet. Add in another play with Asante being so shocked the ball thrown his way was so far from the receiver and right to him that he didn't remember how to make an actual easy catch. All his picks were usually a lot harder to snare than that throw. Lastly, give Hobbs a brain freeze where he's the ONLY person on Earth who'd actually bite on a typical Plaxico juke move where he fakes right. Plaxico NEVER actually runs towards the MIDDLE of the end zone after that juke. Everybody, and I mean everybody here in New York who watches Giant games know that he ALWAYS ALWAYS A-L-W-A-Y-S goes to the corner!!!!!!!! Jackmunch.

And last night. Last night it happened again. My team choked away a lead when it mattered the most.... AGAIN!

Yeah, now I can look forward to The Patriots first game on Sept. 12.
Oh, wait a minute. The pass rush was a massive need to upgrade in the offseason. Okay, who'd they get? Peppers? Nope. Okay, get Taylor then. WHAT??? THE JETS signed him?
Oh, that's okay. We still got Tully "With His GARBAGE Time Sack Stats Who Can't Get Near A REAL Quarterback" Banta-Hanna-Barberra, who the 49ers released 'cause he sucked.
And Burgess. Who? Wait, Plaxico Burress is in jail now. How's he gonna rush the quarterback? Oh, you said BurGess, not Burress. Never heard of him. Oh, what's that? He's 100 years old? Oh, that must be why I'd never heard of him. Oh, wazzat? He was on The Raiders? Oh, that's why too.
Well, it can't be all that bad. Who else we got on D? Wheatley, Crable, and Brace hopefully will get more playing time this year? And Woods too? You just didn't say that. Tell me I misheard you.
And The Jets were a half of football away from The Super Bowl and are bringing back the same defense. Problem is.... so are WE.

And Miami got the marquee free agent receiver. And The Pats STILL didn't get that desperately required pass rush for the 2010 version of NFL football, where the pass rush is the major prerequisite for a team to go deep into the playoffs.


Oh well. I don't mind that much. I still love my Patriots and Celtics, with a firey passion. And I'm still gonna spend countless hours over here between now and February, happily reading Kontradiction breaking it all down for me.

Yeah, and this morning on another site I read all about how some woman's asking price for ownership of the domain name "Allthingsbillbelichick" which she created and owns was (ready for it? 'Cause it's outlandish alright) one million dollars. (imaging Austin Powers saying "One meeee-lione doe-lars" in that ridiculous phrasing of his) Somebody professed interest about possibly buying her out and she said she'd part with it for a freaking million. Oh wait, lemme give you her actual terms- she wanted 100 grand spread out over ten years for it. Yeah, like that's supposed to sound more reasonable ("reasonable" rotf.) Yeah, so the powers that be deleted the site down off the internet. lol! That's what you get for pissing off the wrong people after giving them a pompous reply that's the equivalent of telling them to go jump in a lake. They musta been like- "What? A million frickin' bucks? Oh, I think not. Hey George, press that delete button over there." rotf. A lesson in humility... maybe... if she's at all capable of that emotion. Asking a million bucks sounds like she's not.
Lady, your website plus 50 cents will buy you a cup of coffee. Hey, my You Tube page has 45,000 hits on it over the last 2 years. Do you think I could get a sawbuck for it? lol.

Man, and I thought Logan Mankins was the greedy one.

Wacky offseason so far, huh guys?

There was something greater than a championship at stake in 07 that made that game more meaningful.
