Bob Ryan: "Football gods won't let NE go undefeated"

[borg]

God asks Peyton Manning first: "What do you believe?" Peyton thinks long and hard, looks God in the eye, and says, "I believe in hard work, and in staying true to family and friends. I believe in giving. I always try to do right by my fans."
God can't help but see the essential goodness of Manning, and offers him a seat to his left.

Then God turns to Tony Romo and says, "What do you believe?" Tony says, "I believe passion, discipline, courage and honor are the fundamentals of life.
I've always tried to be a true sportsman, both on and off the playing field."
God is greatly moved by Tony's sincere eloquence, and offers him a seat to his right.

Finally, God turns to Tom Brady: "And you, Tom, what do you believe?"
Tom replies, "I believe you're in my seat."

I disagree with that jokes premise. Brady is a fiery competitor, but also a humble guy and a team player. JMHO. (didn't want to give you a disagree on someone else's post)

Absolutely shocking that one of the co-founders of the fellowship of the Pats hating Boston sports writers would say this.

They are just so mad that Boston/NE has become Patriots town.

He actually said it on air during the Channel 4 Sunday late night sports show.

Not only did he say it on air, Bob Lobel tried to throw him a lifeline and offered him "a mulligan" on the comment which Ryan refused and said he was standing by his statement.
