Well, it happened. Just like we all knew it would. We all knew just how lucky we are to have a Hall of Fame quarterback to lead us to the promised land year after year. No one needs to remind us that.
But for anyone who saw this coming – on this day – at this moment – well, they might not be lying after all.
There are many times that I, or my dad, will ‘predict’ exactly what is about to happen in any given Patriots or Red Sox game. Whether it be the home run we need that doesn’t happen, or the pick-6 that will turn the game around, we all try to ‘sense’ what is about to happen.
This year was one of those years, that I think everyone had a feeling would come back to bite us in the ass. After the whole Super Bowl XLII debacle (infamously simplified by beloved Bill Simmons as ’17-14′), this upcoming season has had the black cloud hanging over it.
To be honest, we were due. You would imagine that Green Bay would have been due a while ago with their run with Brett Favre, or Indianapolis with Peyton Manning, but in reality Favre suffered through some very awful teams, and Indy has lived in New England’s shadow the whole time, while constantly taking the high road.
I hate the Colts – they are truly my enemy. But I have a ton of respect for them. They have not had such a catastrophic injury ‘due’ to them by any means.
With the whole spygate scandal following the team, and Bill Belichick’s less than friendly attitude to the media, or other coaches, lightning was bound to strike us.
I hope to goodness that Tom Brady is going to be fine. He is one helluva football player, and gets the spotlight turned on him pretty unfairly.
TMZ follows him around with his uber-babe Giselle, when it appears all he does is run ‘errands.’ He doesn’t do a million commercials like Peyton Manning, or Tony Romo. He keeps to himself, and does everything he can to win.
Routinely he does the most to be prepared the best. If his season truly is over, I feel bad not only for our fans, but for him as well.
Our franchise quarterback is on the shelf – hopefully Matty Cassel can carry us on his back…
