Any odd rituals?

[PatriotsFan87]

Mine is buying flower. It was a last minute request for me once. So since we keep winning, I have to keep buying flower. Today I bought flower again. And also I am wearing my bruschi jersey.

Anyone else have a ritual?

By flower I mean baking materials.

Well I don't know if it's a coincidence but: Brady threw two picks, Kearses catch, and Seattle building a 24-14 lead happened when I was watching SB 49 live....

Then....I took a 40 minute shower.....Brady led two TD drives, Seattle went three and out a few times. Oh, I turned the tv off and read the gameday board after the Kearse catch....and Butler made the pick.

SB 51: I watched the game live. Brady threw a pick six, and they were down 28-3. I then turned the tv off and followed the gameday thread. Then....I turned it on and the Patriots were in the midst of their comeback. That's when Julio made the catch. I turned the tv off and the Patriots stopped Atlanta, and tied it up shortly after. I was following the gameday thread, tv off, when they stormed down the field in OT & win.

1st Jets game: Watching live and they fell behind 14 points. Turned it off for a few hours...turned it back on...Patriots were leading. Then I was watching live when the " TD" occured for the Jets. Turned it off....was called a touchback.

Whiskey. When we start slow I realize I haven't had my whiskey yet, then I drink it and we take over

I asfixiate myself duri...

Ignore ALL human beings until either after the game OR the game is out of hand in the Pats’ favor.

Yelling at the tv whenever Nance or Romo speaks.

I start making my version of New Year's resolutions on what I start doing differently tomorrow if the season ends today.

If Pats find a way to slay the Jaguars then its double the fun because I then I have 2 more weeks of winter procrastination.

Frig. I am over run with bags of flower now.

Why didn't someone tell me go for beer?

Damned friggers.

Me? Nothing I can post here...

My brother lives in Germany, for several years now.

His pregame ritual is raking leaves.

Several times now, to the befuddlement of his neighbors, he's out there in the snow and cold in his yard, raking leaves prior to big games...

I do but I am even superstitious about saying...it seems to be working so like TB12 says..we'll just keep that one the down low...

So I don't know if it's technically a 'ritual', but...

Leading up to any big game for the Pats...and since, oh, 1974, every game (including preseason) for the Pats is a big game for me, my personality morphs into a kind of John Hannah/Michael Corleone fusion...best just to stay away from me

From another thread:

I want the Patriots to defeat these imposter cats! Join me in my new ritual!

When we are playing in the Super Bowl, I tune out all news media regarding the game. I include pre game shows the day of the game.

I'm building an Amendola shrine in my living room but I don't think it's that odd.
