2019 AFC Champions, New England Patriots

After leading the Kansas City Chiefs 14-0 at halftime, the game turned into a nail biter that went into overtime before the Pats finally prevailed in overtime 37-31.

I swear I spent the entire second half doing this:

I’m just getting too old for this stuff!

Anyway, I know that most of the country except for New England was rooting for the Chiefs, but as I’m a die-hard Patriots fan I hope you’ll forgive me for celebrating.

Super Bowl LIII will have the Patriots facing off against the Los Angeles Rams on February 3rd—which just happens to be my birthday! I’m sure you can guess what I’ll be wishing for!

New England Patriots, Super Bowl

I know tomorrow will be back to the stress of everyday reality, but for anyone who did not watch the Super Bowl, we won!  34-28! Of course this wasn’t accomplished without some heart attack inducing moments. Right now I don’t have much of a voice left, but honestly what an amazing game between the two great teams of the Falcons and the Patriots! So many records broken! So many firsts! The very first Super Bowl to go into overtime. The biggest comeback (25 points) in Super Bowl history! And Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are now the first head coach and quarterback to win five Super Bowls!

So, tomorrow I’ll go back to worrying about things happening in my own life as well as the country and the rest of the world. But for right now, this very moment in time, I’m just gonna bask in the happiness and celebrate!

Football, Humor, New England Patriots

I know this is a little obnoxious given that outside New England there aren’t hordes of Patriots fans, but they just won the AFC East Championship against the Pittsburgh Steelers, 36-17 and are heading to their 9th Super Bowl! Since there’s been precious little to celebrate recently, I’ve just got to break out my Happy Dance!

I was already sick of the words “Polar Vortex”, and “Snowmageddon”. And now as another blizzard has New England in it’s sights, well, I’m ready for summer.

Patriots Deflated Footballs Football

My beloved Patriots are heading off to the Super Bowl under the cloud of  another cheating scandal. For anyone who hasn’t heard, at issue is whether or not the Pats intentionally deflated footballs to give them a superior edge over the Colts during the AFC Championship game. No matter what happens, I think the media has come out the losers in this. Nevermind the overhyping of this story, “Deflategate”? Seriously? They couldn’t come up with anything better?

So. Since I’m totally disgusted with the news, this’ll be me for the next couple of days.
