Boston Sports
I'll admit it. This was one of the roughest sports fan weeks I've had in a long time.
First, there was the shocking loss to the Colts and the Decision. I started off hating it in all respects and have graduated to hating everything BUT the actual decision to go for it. Everything around the Decision sucked donuts. Big, hairy ones.
And the Celts have sort of sucked this week and my man Sheed has been a big part of it. (They really miss Baby.)
And the Sox haven't done squat to improve themselves.
And the Fins won on Thursday night.
The Bs have shown some signs of life, tis true, but the Bs are 4th on my list of Boston sports teams and really, they are a distint 4th.
So FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY, we have come to game day.
And what a perfect freaking opponent. I mean, if there was ANY chance at all that the Pats would have wallowed in their own pity -- and I submit there was very little given the HC and leadership on this squad, and their record in games after losses -- facing the damn Jets are the perfect guaranty that such wallowing will not happen.
The Jets caused the Pats to wake the hell up and move on. Sure, they would have anyway, but with Rex Ryan and Douche Revis doing their usual attention getting and yapping, and just the Jets being there after the week 2 loss, there's NO CHANCE that the Pats will not be ready for a brawl.
Putting aside all that stuff, we have the simple matter that we get to watch the Pats -- the most entertaining and enjoyable team to watch in sports, in my humble opinion -- to feast our eyes on today.
The early games kind of suck, and I'm grateful that the Celts are playing at 1 PM so I can switch back and forth from the Giants game.
In any event, folks, get psyched for another Patriots beat down. I see it, and I see Moss torching young Revis today. You KNOW that he and Brady are planning on just that. Though I don't expect to see that until the Pats have a lead, as the personal stuff can wait.
Enjoy the day, Pats (and other non-Jets) fans.
