I hate the Patriots

Yep the title is purposely antagonistic. I hate the Patriots.
And here’s why:
1.) They are so damn cocky. They strut all over the field when they win, but in press conferences, it’s all “aw shucks, we just take each game as it comes, we didn’t even think about being undefeated”. Yeah, yeah, bet that’s not what you were saying in the locker room.
2.) Bill Belichik. If he’s such a genius what would you call what he did while in Cleveland?
3.) They’re cheaters
4.) Tom Brady. I used to rather enjoy Tom. Those dimples sucked me in at first. The velvet suit during the announcement of Super Bowl MVP’s 2 years ago delighted me. But, he left his pregnant girlfriend to shack up with a Victoria’s Secret model. As a lady, I gotta side with the bereft pregnant chick. Tom Brady = ass.
5.) They beat the Steelers. A lot.

Having said all that, I wouldn’t call myself a Giants fan either, but you can be sure I’m jumping on their Super Bowl bandwagon. I will be cheering on Eli Manning and friends come Super Bowl Sunday. I might even wear their colors in a show of support. It tickles me that every television smartie-pants has derided Eli and his abilities all season, comparing him unfavorably to his brother, doubted his abilities….and the dude ends up in the Super Bowl. I like to imagine Eli, sitting in his NYC bachelor pad, chuckling to himself about how awesome he is. Maybe he calls up Peyton and they talk Super Bowl strategy, maybe him and Archie and Peyton all get on the phone together and giggle about what idiots the sportswriters and sportscasters are. (I’m not sure why I am daydreaming about the Manning family conversations. Psychosis?)
The reality is: it’s Giants vs. Patriots in this year’s Super Bowl MLXXXPRQQXXLM.
I’ll be cheering on Eli, Plaxico, Strahan and the rest of the crew, because the Patriots need to lose.
And the Miami Dolphins need to pop the champagne cork of a bottle that has waited far too long this season.
If I’m wrong, well…..
I guess there’s always next year right?
