<p>It&#8217;s been a tough weekend in terms of football, especially if like me your a New England Patriots fan. The series of mistakes witnessed throughout the second half of this game had me shut it off during the fourth quarter when Randy Moss tried to grab a pass slightly thrown behind him. He ended up popping the ball into the air for a spectacular Pittsburgh interception that secured a definitive and humiliating loss at home.</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s really difficult to watch one of the greatest teams the NFL has ever seen fall apart just months after a devestating super bowl loss to Napoleon Dynamite (Eli Manning).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As the game ended somewhere around 30 to 10 I had to shut the TV off, not because I wasn&#8217;t willing to watch the game all the way through but because my attachment to the Patriots is comparable to a father and son or good friends during war time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On a brighter note I&#8217;ve learned what it&#8217;s like to consistently lose football games. I really became entrenched in football two seasons before their first superbowl so in that timeframe I&#8217;ve not really known alot about being on the bad end of the stick. It&#8217;s everything I thought it could be much like working on the house or doing yard work in 108 degree temperature.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">None the less I must soldier on as a fan of the what once was&#8230; the best team ever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m up to early helping the Mother In Law with a support session for a breeze session taking place. Luckily coffee exists and I&#8217;ll most likely live through today.</p>
<p>Better news is that Martha is up and making breakfast which automatically puts me in the win position. I&#8217;m the direct benefactor of a huge breakfast, and it&#8217;s actually kind of relaxing to be sitting here doing technical support in the early AM.</p>
<p>The week in football looks like it&#8217;s going to be Doomsday for everyone. Patriots already lost on Thursday to the Jets and I can&#8217;t begin to tell you my unbelievable level of disappointment. After a very intense game it only ended in tears&#8230; the same way it&#8217;s going to end for my second team the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are simply not ready for the New York Giants and I&#8217;m not willing to hold on to ANY hopes whatsoever.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll see how everything turns out!</p>
