When there's no more football to be played, we still need to have a story to tell.
Even if it's the same old story. As the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun. And only seven basic plots. So, if you think you've heard any of this before, well, there's a reason for that. Or seven reasons, I suppose.
The good news?
The Patriots can't lose another game in a heartbreaking and/or statistically unusual way.
Their season is over.
Tough week to be a football fan.
Even tougher week to be a football player. And a football player's family.
Does the sign at the entry to 1 Patriot Place really read "Abandon hope all ye who enter here?" Yeah. I suppose the comedy hasn't been all that divine for the New England Patriots, lately, has it?
Wait! That "ye" isn't a reference to Kanye, is it?
I hadn't been kicked in the nuts - physically or figuratively - since middle school. That was, until yesterday, around 7:25 pm. Now the sign hanging in the factory of my mind reads "1 Days Since Last Being Kicked in the Nuts."
