Curse of the Boston Globe

I'm just gonna throw it out here so everybody knows right now. The New England Patriots will not win another Super Bowl for 86 years. There, I said it. You may be thinking, they may have lost the Super Bowl, but they are still stacked. You would be dead on that they are still stacked, but they will not win the Super Bowl again for a long, long time. Call it the curse of the Boston Globe.

For those that haven't heard by now, the Boston Globe posted a book for pre-order on amazon.com entitled, "19-0: The Historic Championship Season of New England's Unbeatable Patriots." As soon as the book was listed, the Boston Globe sealed the fate upon those poor Patriots. They never had a shot at winning. This loss is going to crush their team for years to come. Dating back to 2002, past Super Bowl losers include St. Louis, Oakland, Carolina, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Chicago. Not exactly the cream of the crop in the NFL, are they? Just like those other teams, the Patriots will be unable to recover from the huge blow to their ego's.

Further, the Patriots first pick in the 2008 NFL Draft will be a complete bust. After the infamous Spygate incident, New England were stripped of their first round draft pick. But because of an earlier deal, the Pats were able to acquire the first round pick from the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers had a dissapointing season, so now the Pats hold the 7th overall pick in the draft. That pick is tainted. Whomever the Patriots pick will be doomed from the start. Either through injury or poor performance, he will be off the Pats within three years and out of the league within six. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news to the New England area, but most of you will never witness your beloved Pats hoist the Lombardi trophy in your lifetime. Count on it.
