It's a famous old football saying, much used on the old NFL films, that it's better to be lucky than good. I believe this, because I have seen 'good' teams be beaten by 'lucky' teams who at times were not as 'good.' It does happen that the balls and the calls go one way and not another, not talking about any one particular game, but it does happen. It would be great to think that everything was resolved on the field of play and honor and nothing else was ever involved, but that's not always so.
Now, how are my anti-Brady rants 'banworthy?' I have a right to express my views on him, we all have a right to bash any team, band or album here, I don't see how that's banworthy. However, what IS banworthy is personal attacks against posters here, and that is what happened to me.
You know I heard the other day from somebody that they thought the Pats' wins were rigged by the US goverment, because their first win was right after 9-11 and the others came during the war, hey, 'patriot' and the American image and all, for morale? Well, I'm sure you'll say this is ridiculous, but it does fit! It wasn't my idea.
One thing I get so sick of hearing about Brady was his winning streak in the playoffs, putting him ahead of Joe Montana. Well the reason he had this 'winning streak' alive was because he didn't even make the playoffs in '02! The 49ers were there every year but didn't always make the Super Bowl. So it's not really fair to let a guy get over him by not even qualifying one year.
I see so many of you say that it's over, the Colts are going to win now. First, it's sad to see you say it like it's a bad thing. Why not the Colts? They've earned it, and deserve it, and are very nice guys who don't shoot off their mouths. They have a very honorable coach who is going through some sad times. They haven't won one since 1971. Indianapolis is a great city and the fans have never had a pro championship. Why not the Colts?
Second, what makes you think that they automatically get it since the Pats are gone, as if they were the only one who could stop them? Remember the Colts handled them well and beat them soundly in the regular season, and there is no reason to believe it wouldn't have happened again. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who are sick of the Patriots and want to see someone else win. ANYONE.
Finally, why are you so sure? I'm not! I wish I was! But doom always hangs over me, and I won't believe anything good is going to happen, and won't until I see them holding the trophy up. If they do.
