Way to choke on your own overconfidence, and way to forget the history that put you where you are in the first place(1). Enjoy your offseason, knowing that your 18 victories were for absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

And apparently Tom Brady’s contract wit the devil has officially expired.
Okay, who’s soul does the devil want now?
I’ll let you judge that James.
[…] Patriots–I’m pretty sure there were very few people happier than I was when they chocked hardcore in last year’s Super Bowl–I’ve decided I want them to make a 2001-esque miracle run to a Super Bowl […]
