Hi all,
I know that it is sad to have superstitions, but like some of you, I have them and they are taking over as we get closer to the game. I know in the back of my mind that all these stupid things I am doing really have no bearing on how the patriots will play and weather or not they will win, but I cannot seem to stop myself. So here is what has taken over my life
1. I have not had a hair cut in almost 3 months and let me just tell you I am not an attractive man with all this hair.
2. I have only shaved once since the playoffs started and that was only because I had to go to a work functions of my wifes and she was actually going to divorce me if I didn't, and I believed her.
3. I have a stupid hand held solitary game that I play all the time, but just before the chargers game I said to myself that if I win this next game I will not play again until after the superbowl because it is good luck. Not only did I win, but I had one of the highest scores of all time. I have not touched it since.
4. I have worn some sort of patriots gear every day this week.
5. I was at the gym today and again said to myself that I will shoot free throws and that will be the percentage the patriots will win (80%), I was hoping for a little better.
6. Since the free throw shooting did not make me feel all that confident, I deceided to play a game of around the world (patriots vs. giants) The patriots got up big early, only to have the giants storm back to tie it, but in the end the patriots won by 2 shots, so that made me feel better.
needless to say, I may be going a little crazy, and my wife cannot wait to get this game over with so she can get her husband back.
Please tell me that there are other people out there with this same affliction.
