Fantastic Pigskins And Where To Find Them

So, Bill Belichick is the head master of a Pigskin Hogwarts. And yes, okay, he came from the House of Slytherin. Geez, just one Voldemort an an entire house gets a bad name. Anyway, I'd say Belichick is more Snape than He Who Shall Not Be Named. Whatever. Be a hater.

Meanwhile, Belichick must occasionally play Quidditch against mere muggles

No surprise this game wasn't flexed to prime time.



Is this a trap game? If it isn't I don't know what is. Is anyone picking the Rams, on the road, against the Patriots? Who else saw the stat that in the last two games between Belichick and Rams HC Jeff Fisher, Fisher's teams were outscored like seventeen quadrillion to 7? Ouch. I know past performance is not an indicator of future results but... Wow. That's cat playing with mouse level domination. Belichick has got to be in Fisher's head. Such as it is. Maybe he was drunk when he decided the Rams need to be ready for Brandon Bolden, a depth piece (3 snaps at RB?) and special teams stallwart. I know that if I was Jeff Fisher, I'd certainly be drunk. I'd drink vodka martinis by the pitcher. Stirred, not shaken. 

Anyway, it would only be human to underestimate the Rams. If so, let's just hope that all that internet speculation about Dr. Robert Ford being based on Robert Kraft and his innovations in pigskin robotics has fueled the Patriots decade and a half of domination. Seriously, you thought Tom Brady was human? A sixth round pick who goes on to become the greatest to ever play the game? 

I'm more intrigued every day by the possibility Tom Brady is actually a robot programmed by Belichick to play football. Cheating can't come close to explaining Brady's (and the Patriots') unprecedented salary cap era success. You've got to do better than that. Like robots. 

I will also say the Hogwart's theory isn't bad as explanations go. Magic. Tom Brady himself recently referenced the Potter mythos in his "TB Times". Tom Brady as the steely-eyed Harry Potter looking for acceptance and love from his dark Dumbledore, Bill Belichick.

Just promise you'll always use your powers for good, Tom.

Or you're a robot. And I'm totally cool with that.
