551 words from a Jets fan on SB51

Look, I am a die hard New York Jets fan.  I love them with every fiber of my being.  I love them more than most people love their families.  But it is time for me to say it. I cannot fight it anymore because all it does is lead to disappointment and despair.  Tom Brady is the best quarterback of all time.  Bill Belichick is the greatest coach of all time. Robert Kraft is an all time owner.  And overall the New England Patriots from 2000 on are the best run franchise in professional sports.  (A little part of me just died after all that).

As a gambling man, I like much of America had money wagered on the game last night.  Now I hate the Patriots, yes.  But I am not a communist who hates money.  So against my heart I bet with my brain.  Patriots money line and Tom Brady to win the MVP were the first two wagers I placed.  Unlike most people who root for their bets to win, as the game wore on I found myself absolutely loving the pats getting smacked.  Bill's defense couldn't stop shit.  Tom was getting hit left and right.  I think I even got a full blown hard on when he threw the pick 6 and made the diving attempt at a tackle.  It was glorious.  And I have never been so happy to probably lose money.  

But than as things always do, everything started to turn in the Patriots favor.  Matt Ryan fumbled, the Falcons coaches had some sort of brain aneurysms and forgot how to coach football, Julian Edelman made an all time catch, and so on and so forth.  Some times in life and in sports it is better to be lucky than good.  If you really look at the past two Patriots Super Bowls, if the combination of Pete Carroll/Darrell Bevell/Dan Quinn/Kyle Shanahan decide to just run the ball like all of the world knew they should, all those kind yet painful words I uttered in the first paragraph would be a moot point.  Because the New England Patriots would not have won a Super Bowl in 13 years.  And the combination of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick would be 3-4 in the big game on a 4 game losing streak.  Now it goes both ways, and if David Tyree didn't have a piece of gum stuck on his head things could be totally different.  But you get my point.  

All of that does not matter for shit though.  Because those coaches for the Seahawks and Falcons were inept, something Bill Belichick isn't.  Russell Wilson and Matt Ryan turned the ball over in the fourth quarter, something Tom Brady would never do.  So here were are, February 6, 2017 and the Pats have one for the thumb.  And Tom and Bill are a lock to get their 6th together, I'd put it at 50/50 they get a 7th, and who knows after that.  

The point of this long ass blog that most people probably aren't reading anymore is that I officially have no more energy to hate the New England Patriots.  If they lose awesome, if they win what else is  new.  But until Brady and Belichick are gone it will just be more of the same.
