I wonder if any of you guys are like me, I suspect a lot of you are. Here's some examples of my Patriot's obsession/love:
In 2007, as is my habit every year, I buy a new Patriot's hat before the regular season starts. Got the hat on the Friday before the season started. When I got home, I noticed they left the security thing on the hat. Pried it off myself, and it caused a big round hole in the back of the hat, was gonna return it on Monday. The Pats routed the Jets, kept the hat, and they went 18-0 while I wore the hat. We know what happened game 19 and I dumped the hat.
This year, I have worn the same Pat's outfit since they beat the Vikings, and they have won every game since. I will wear this outfit for the rest of the season. It's a throwback 1976 Russ Francis jersey (red), with a blue shirt underneath and blue jeans. YES, I have washed it after every game, lol. I had bought a beautiful throwback Mitchell and Ness hat (blue) while up in Boston, but the only time I wore it, was during the loss to Cleveland, have not worn it since, and will not wear it again until the offseason.
I have a habit of if the Pats are doing well when wearing a hat backwards, I will wear it backwards during that game, if they start to falter, I turn it forwards.
Also, I blame myself for the Pats not winning a SB since 2004. I was living in California from 1999-2006, so the 3 times they won, I was out in California. Moved back to NYC in 2006, and the Pats lost the SB the following year. Trust me, if they get in the SB soon, I will be staying in California that weekend.
In 2005, it seems like everytime I had Chinese food for lunch before the game, they won, If I didn't they lost. Had a lot a Chinese food in 2005, though that didn't help during that dreadful playoff game in Denver.
Anyone else have any weird quirks, obsessions or supertitions when it comes to the Pats ?
