Football

It’s weird, football (specifically NFL) is the only sport I can watch any team play. For example, I’m sitting here, thoroughly enjoying Green Bay vs. Dallas. I wouldn’t be caught dead watching a Milwaukee Brewers-Texas Rangers game. I guess you could say I’m an NFL fan of the Patriots order. Yeah, I like that.

But I don’t like what transpired in today’s Patriots game. Shitty from the get-go – I’m looking at you, Rob Gronkowski. For crying out loud, can someone catch a pass Brady’s throwing?! I’m not going to go into some tirade about the defense and Peyton Hillis running for over 180 yards against them. They were doing a decent job until the offense choked it up and they were forced to spend most of the game on the field. And with the Patriots offense doing nothing, Cleveland could sit back and go into super clock burning mode. Yeah, I said it.

At least the Patriots will head to Pittsburgh pissed off (I hope).

In addition to awesomeness, Tom Brady and I now have something else in common

Have you heard, Tom Brady doesn’t like the Jets. That doesn’t surprise me in the least, after the Rodney Harrison proclaimed last year on NBC how much New England hates the Jets. And it’s funny because there is nothing I hate more than a NY Jet.

But Tom Brady publicly admitting his disdain for the Jets also reminded me of this old gem that never really aired much:

Heh, never gets old.

Game 5

Gasollama

These frickin prime time Celtics’ playoff games are KILLING me. Seriously, I was only able to muster four hours of sleep last night. FOUR! I’m way too old for that kind of night.

At least it was worth it. Go, Celtics!

Sorry, this is the best I could muster given I only got four hours of sleep last night.

Should he stay or should he go

I find it incredibly annoying that some of the same folks now in a tizzy over the belief that Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady might be a free agent at the end of the 2010 season are the same folks that were relentlessly lobbying for the team to trade Brady and stick with Matt Cassel at the end of the 2008 season. Make up your minds, fools!

Situations like this, for example, the way Red Sox slugger David Ortiz has been treated recently, are a strong indication of how ridiculous many Boston fans can be. Don’t even get me started on the treatment of Manny Ramirez.

Sometimes, being a Patriots fan feels like drowning in a sea of stupidity. That’s why I have to hand it to Steelers and Raiders fans sometimes. They might be cretins (I kid, I kid), but at least they know their football. And they’re FIERCELY loyal in ways an average Boston fan could never even hope to attain.

Seriously, I think I just want to move. :)

Let’s Go Celtics *clap clap clap clap clap*

I’m going to tell it to you straight. I hate the L.A. Lakers. Honestly, I don’t even like basketball that much. I mean, I like it enough to watch games and no matter what, I always want the Celtics to win. I grew up in the Larry Bird era, ya know? But for some reason, I hate the Lakers on a level usually reserved for the New Jersey York Jets. I get pangs of anger much like that when I see the New York Yankees. For whatever reason, the Lakers and their celebrity fans make me want to barf. And punch things.

I don’t know who’s going to win this series. All I know is, Boston better win. Go, Celtics!
