THE Mommy
It’s a horrible, no good, very bad day waking up here in New England.
In case you live under a rock and didn’t hear, our perfect Patriots were upset by Eli Manning and the Giants in the Super Bowl last night. It was one of the best games I’ve ever watched, until about the last 30 seconds…when Eli was supposed to choke and the Pats were supposed to forever go into the history books at the best team in the history of all sports.
So what happened?! Why did the Patriots blow the game? Was it the genius behind the Giant’s game plan? Was it the offensive line’s fault? Tom Brady was hurried, sacked and hit more times in this one game than the entire season (not an actual stat…just my observance)?!? Nope. I know the REAL reason why the Patriots lost last night. AND I knew the second I saw them step onto the field before the game even started.
The Patriot’s coach, Bill Belichick, was wearing a RED SHIRT people…WTF?!?!? Did you see it? The first thing that came to mind when I saw him was “If they lose the game, it’s completely his fault.”
Bill Belichick has always worn the charcoal grey sweatshirt, now marketed as the Belichick sweatshirt. It is one of the the most purchased articles of clothing in the Patriots shop. My husband and I had a battle over our sweatshirts in the beginning of the season.
So, what would cause BB to change his typical attire for the Super Bowl? Did greedy marketing people decide to change the color so that they could sell millions more after the Pats won the Super Bowl and achieved a perfect season?
I have a better theory.
One of the 1972 Dolphins gave it to him as a gift.
Hey, Bill. Sorry about all the trash we’ve been talking the last few weeks. It’s inevitable that you’re going to break our record. You need to clean up your image a bit for all the publicity during and after the game. Your grey sweatshirts are a little tired, man. It’s hot in Arizona. Cutting the hood and sleeves off your sweatshirt isn’t going to cut it. Why don’t you try this red shirt instead. Red = power. Looks great on you. Thata boy.
(Meanwhile, the rest of the 1972 Dolphins are in the background snickering because they already did a voodoo curse on the damn shirt.)
That red shirt needs to be BURNED. I can’t imagine any Patriots fan wanting to wear one now. It’s just a painful reminder of what should have been.
Red = blood. I’ll be over here licking my wounds today.

I've got to be honest, I didn't watch the Super Bowl. I'm not a pro football watcher. My mom and I went to see 27 Dresses. I didn't even watch for the commercials.
As far as who won or who lost? I'm just glad there wasn't any actual bloodshed. That's strictly for hockey. Blech.
Sorry your team lost. Maybe next year?
