Anyone else started to feel withdrawal this week from the high?
The night of the Super Bowl was like crack, sex, and the birth of a child all rolled into one.
For two weeks I was walking on cloud nine.
Now I'm starting to feel normal again, not as easy to recreate that burst of joy when I see the Butler interception. I am still pumped by it, but that initial high is diminishing a bit.
Fellow patsfans, where can I get me some more crack? What do you do in the offseason? In 2001, 2003/2004 I was pumped, but this one is different for me, after all the bullspit the team, especially BB and Brady, have gone through.
Perhaps quit my job, hitchhike to Foxboro, and become a groupie?
Here's what I do (in no particular order):
- call up fellow fans on a whim, discuss/gloat about the season and SB win ad-nauseum while maintaining a poop-eating grin
- watch all the 'reaction to butler's interception' videos I can find (from both teams' fans)
- watch all the fan tribute videos I can find
- browse the hawks, ravens, colts, jets, steelers, and packers forums (this one is particularly entertaining!)
- surf online to find the best deals on SB 49 gear
- plan minute details of my next trip to Gillette and the hall
- dim the lights, wrap myself in a microfiber blanket, hit a sweet buzz on high gravity beer, and rewatch the 4th quarter and the Sound FX/Inside the NFL videos in HD
- remind myself Brady owns every postseason record that matters, has now surpassed Montana, actually HAS that 4th ring, did all that while picking apart the greatest D since the '85 bears in front of 120 million people, and that I'm not dreaming
- remind myself that THE interception resulted in the entire country's collective jaw hitting the turf so hard, they're still in massive shock (haven't heard a single notable peep pertaining to airgate or cameragate since then)
- repeat from the top
