Congratulations to My World Champion New England Patriots

(Not mad anymore Bro.)

"Cue the duck boats" and confetti; then strike up the band.

Patriots have just been crowned the best team in the land.

Seahawks made it much too close...  They had it on the 1

But, for reasons unbeknownst to me, they didn't run.

When Seattle's Russell Wilson tried to throw a pass

Butler's goal line interception saved New England's ass.

Vindication for the weeks of listening to crap

Came when Brady took a knee after the final snap.

Ten years since their last parade but this makes number 4

Belichick and Brady won (in case you're keeping score.)

There is joy throughout New England, but there's also snow.

Hope the plows can do their job 'cause we intend to go.

Yankees Swept from ALCS - Is That You, Sports Gods?

Could it be the sports gods are relenting, just a bit?

How else to explain the fact the Yankees couldn't hit?

Not surprising A-Rod was so bad 'cause, after all,

He is always really ineffective in the Fall.

Cannot blame their pitching staff for, up until last night,

They ensured the Yankees had a chance; the games were tight.

But, although the scores were close, they'd lose by 1 or 2.

If Yankees don't hit the ball what can their pitchers do?

Where the heck was Robinson Cano' now Jeter's hurt?

Looked like Red Sox players last year (save the pinstriped shirt.)

Mr. S. is feeling down but I've begun to hope

Sports gods may be smiling on me...  Is that taunting? Nope.

Simply an acknowledgement that, for a Red Sox fan,

Nothing brightens up the day like Yankees losing can.

But, I wouldn't dare to taunt before we play the Jets...

Not when sports gods showed the Seahawks' Sherman what that gets.

The New England Patriots - Why Do The Sports Gods Hate Me?

Be careful Richard Sherman...  The sports gods don't like taunting.

Sports news in New England's been enough to drive me nuts.

I am more than half convinced the sports gods hate our guts.

After all the Red Sox drama I believed the Pats

Offered sanctuary from those dismal, baseball stats.

But, instead, I've watched as they blow leads late in the game.

Yesterday, Tom Brady's passes didn't look the same;

Throws 2 interceptions - throws it at receivers' shoes -

Defense gives up 14 points in minutes and we lose.

I know that the ball was wet and rain was pouring down;

I know that Seattle (mostly) wins in their home town.

Even so, that can't explain why Brady couldn't throw

Or how, yet again, we have a 2 score lead we blow.

Thought I was a sports fan but I guess that I forgot;

I'm a fan of winning and my favorite teams are not.

World-Champ, New York (Football) Giants* won at Candlestick...

Yankees in the play-offs - It's no wonder  that I'm sick.

Not as if it's talent that New England players lack...
Must be something we can do to win the sports gods back.

I'd do almost anything they ask to beat the Jets...

Losing's bad but, to New York?  That's as bad as it gets.
