Has there ever been two worse games for local fans than the two most recent Patriot games? As New England sports fans we have been through our share of one game disasters. Dent, Buckner, Pats/Giants, Pedro 2003...the list goes on and on. The great thing about sports is that there is almost always a tomorrow. The Sox redeemed themselves the by erasing the great Pedro melt down of 2003 by winning it all in 2004. The Celtics went from the worst team ever (?) to World Champions the next season.
The 2008-09 Patriot season was supposed to be the season of redemption. (yeah I know it’s ridonculous to say a team that has won 3 Superbowls in 6 years needs a season of redemption...too bad). Instead the season opener dealt us a rare “KICK IN THE STONES UN-PERFECTA”. The Patriots gave us back to back killer losses. As if the Superbowl wasn’t enough..now this? Tom Brady out for the season.....Not since the Sox lost two in a row to the Mets in ’86 has there been back to back games that have dealt it’s fans such a double dose of disastah...
There is always tomorrow..or next Sunday in the NFL. The Pats are still a good team even without Brady. They are now Cinderella all over again and that’s what makes sports great. The Pats have a chance now to do something special...win without the best player in the NFL. The season starts Sunday.

Let's hope the worst is behind the Pats and Brady plays in the Super Bowl :-)

They should just put him out there in a wheelchair.

I'm a little behind on my posts but even 5 days later I haven't adjusted to Brady's injury. Time takes care of a lot of things. We'll see!
