Oh Patriots, how I hate thee...

I detest no team more than I detest the Patriots. Not the Cowboys, not the Ravens, not the Browns. The Patriots cheated us out of a Super Bowl berth that should've been ours, then suffered a piddly draft pick sacrifice as "punishment."

What compounds insults is that Boston sports fans are the most obnoxious on the planet, making fans in Philadelphia and New York and Oakland look like Gandhi. Their mouths run non-stop, and if only we could harness those lips in perpetual motion, we'd solve all of the nation's energy problems -- although it wouldn't technically be clean energy.

Then the Pats' pretty boy QB gets endless hype because of the woman he dates and impregnates, as if anyone outside of New England cares. This takes up valuable space on ESPN and SI that could be devoted to something more interesting, like slow motion cheerleader videos.

Although I couldn't care less about the Giants, I and millions of others cheered for them in the Super Bowl as they knocked the Pats and their undefeated season onto their self-righteous buttocks.

Alas, tonight, the Bills couldn't follow suit, proving that a bad team will always find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I feel for the Bills fans, for even though I don't care about the Bills, I'm livid that the Pats were allowed to notch one in the victory column when the Bills came oh... so... close... I feel your pain, Buffalo, and will eat another serving of wings in your honor.

I only have two wishes every football season: 1. The Steelers win the Super Bowl, and 2. The Patriots don't just lose, they get humiliated. Oh, please, gridiron gods, why can't we have both?
