And scene

I didn't think it was possible, but I feel way worse today than I did at the end of the Patriots season in February '08. As all good fans do, I completely blame myself. I let myself be goaded into prop betting on the Patriots again causing them to lose. Not just lose, straight collapse into a dungpile in the middle of the field.
"The sun was in his eyes"! Really? Seriously? It's a huge fucking weird ass shaped brown ball. That is clearly just bad jinxy juju.
Humiliating.
The Patriots, their fans and all their families should be too ashamed to show their faces in public. They should change their names and move to far away places.
If anyone needs me, I am now Juanita Espinosa from Des Moines. Wait, is that how you spell it? I'm new to Iowa and we don't have wireless. This is Iowa, right?

Too Soon

Get Well-ker Soon

I live in New York and I'm extremely lazy - especially when it's 19 degrees out on my days off. This means if I can't catch the Patriot game online somewhere, I'm usually out of luck on Sunday afternoons when they don't make the national TV airing schedule. Sunday was one of those days. It was made all the worse when I heard during the Dolphins game that my Wes Welker was hurt. Hurt badly and carried off the field. I didn't have any facts yet, but I swore if that Bernard Pollard was in any way involved, it would be vaffles for him!
VAFFLES!
But as I finally saw the footage, it looks like Welker's leg just took an awkward twist. Ugh. Just one of those things. I caught the end of the game. Tom Brady throwing interceptions, our defense being all non existent, another away loss. Sigh. The Patriots have just been all too human this year, miles away from perfection. The spirit and heart of champions still pulse through them, but they're tired, hurt, old. Really, the last vestige of my magical team was Wes Welker's quick feet, his ability to be every and anywhere. If Brady could get the pass in the air, Welker would find a way to bring it down and move the chains. "He's not human!" I would cry week after week watching him do what he does in winning efforts and losing ones. But, alas, he is human. And he's hurt.
And an entire region of Patriots fans are hurt with him.
