I had the cable guy come today, about an hour ago. I noticed that he was a nice guy until he saw some of my Pats related stuff in the home office. Things quickly became tense and his demeanor instantly changed.
"You're a fan of the deflators," he asked. "Yes," I said. "I've always been. I went to school at BU, and I've loved the team since their WC run back in '85. It sucks to see what's going on, but I'd be nothing more than a fraud if I didn't stand by them now."
He agreed, said he admired my courage to be a Pats fan in Steeler nation, and mentioned the following as he was walking out several minutes later: "I don't think Brady ordered those guys to do that. He's always been a great QB. Go Steelers. See you in September."
And that was that. Life can go on. It will suck, but it often does anyway
