I know a lot of you want to blame injuries, bad play calling, poor receiving options and everything else under the sun for this latest playoff loss, but I have to come clean now.

Back in August we sold our house and stored most of our belongings in Charlestown MA with a moving and storage company named Stairhoppers (I would never recommend them to anyone btw) and one of the things that got packed away was my lucky playoff sweatshirt. That's the one that I bought in Cleveland at Belichick's first game back there as Pats HC in 2000. It has a much better playoff record than Tom Brady.

What I never realized could happen was that we'd still be looking around for a new home to purchase in January and that my lucky sweatshirt could be locked up for the playoffs. My sincerest apologies go out to all of Pats fandom for my horrible mistake.

I think a fair punishment for you would be having to work on Elizabeth Warren’s campaign for say, 3 months. (Not a political commentary just an apt, painful punishment for this particular offender.)

This is killing me because I’m unable to solve the problem. How does it have a better playoff record than Brady when you bought it in 2000?

Maybe the movers were in the playoffs in a flag football league?

Probably he didn't use it in other losses so it doesn't add to the jerseys record.

So actually he revealed to be responsible for other playoff losses, I think we have a big problem here gentleman.

If true, he’s off to the firing squad.

Where is the t shirt now ?

You asked the wrong question. He said he bought the sweatshirt IN Cleveland AT the game. You need to know if it was a Cleveland Browns sweatshirt and if not, how/why he bought a Patriots sweatshirt there. (Visiting team's gear normally isn't sold in a home stadium. Was it contraband?). You also need to know if he traveled from New England to Cleveland for that game. Use your damn head.

You people need to get the facts straight, it's a SWEATSHIRT, not a jersey or T-shirt. :mad:
 
The sweatshirt is packed in a plastic container in a storage facility in Charlestown MA.
Please answer the questions in post #10, which Kontra failed to ask. They are crucial to the investigation.

It's a Browns sweatshirt that I got in Cleveland and wore for the first dynasty playoff run but lost it during the Pats' bad playoff stretch. I then found it in time for the last successful playoff run. It has an incredible winning %. Better than Brady's.

It was lost during the Pats bad stretch and I couldn't find it. Many of the Pats playoff losses are not because of that sweatshirt. When we started to pack up our stuff last year I found it buried deep in one of the closets, just in time for the 2018 playoff run.

I don't think I'd mind that too much actually. I could lose quite a few votes for her if I really tried.

A few follow-up questions before we submit this case for resolution:

1). Were you a Browns fan/Cleveland-area resident at the time you bought the item?
2). If you were a Patriots fan, why did you buy a Browns sweatshirt?
3). Also if a Pats fan, did you travel to Cleveland for that game specifically?
4). What was the Pats' "bad playoff stretch" you refer to?
5). Was the sweatshirt ever laundered (spilled drinks, chip dip, etc.)?
6). How did you first lose the sweatshirt and where was it found?
7). Knowing the value and application of this item, why was it packed away?
8). Did you consider retrieving it from storage prior to this latest playoff loss?
9). Your acceptance of blame might mitigate your sentence if found guilty. What possible penalty would you deem fair?

Thanks.

You’re asking the Lord’s questions here.
 
Well, we’re on to the off-season. You saw your mistake on film. Come back stronger next year and all is forgiven.



Good luck on finding a new place, too.
