First, no one in New England would have thought that this post would be possible at the start of the season. Admittedly, the Patriots had a very soft regular season schedule which, I believe, allowed them to put things together to gel and turn into a super bowl contender. Amazing turnaround and that is why Vrabel got Coach of the Year, McDaniel's got Assistant Coach of the Year and Maye missed MVP by one vote. This season, they have prided themselves on being underestimated and road warriors (having won every game they played on the road.) This all said, they are underdogs in the Super Bowl and probably rightfully so. But, I am predicting that they will squeak this one out and win it all (just like the Pats did against the Seahawks in a previous Super Bowl.) But it will be brutal and very close. What is your prediction?
Let's see here, you have a bunch of hairy, semi illiterate, jacked up jocks all hopped up on steroids that can barely read or write their obscene, undeserved contracts. The object being who can bum rush the pig skin covered bladder, to the other side the most times. My prediction is that I will not be watching this pointless waste of time.
Well, the Pats lost to a clearly better team last night. Outplayed and out coached. But they are young and have significant potential, so stay tuned for next year. On another note, I view professional athletes in the same light as professional actors, singers, comedians, and other such paid celebrities. They are all paid based on the ticket sales or advertising sales that they can generate. Some have certain skills and talent and others just have dumb luck. Whether you find a particular professional or their industry to be entertaining enough to watch is based on your personal preferences. You say "tomayto" and I say "tomahto" kind of thing.
According to David Muir at ABC News the Pats quarterback came out on to the field wearing your Victory Model tinfoil hat. The head ref immediately blew his whistle and called him on a foul and told him to take it off and replace it with his regular helmet. What would have been the outcome if he could have played with the tinfoil hat instead?
Ah, 'tis a pity that we shall never know...Note, however, in the tradition of the most successful arms dealers around the world, we offered tinfoil hats of one sort or another to both sides. Equal opportunity vendor, so to speak. Our Deluxe Field Goal & Punt tinfoil hats may have won the game for the Seahawks.
