I Think I’ve Been Punched in the Stomach

Wow….

I seriously feel as though I’ve been punched in the stomach. Pats gave up an 18 point lead and lost the game. They are going home. Peyton “media wh$re” manning is going to the Super Bowl.

Hard to win a game when you drop perfect passes (ahem, Caldwell!), rush the passer, don’t advance the ball……our defense just broke down. They were exhausted and couldn’t hold the momentum of the Colts.

Sick, I seriously feel sick. At least it’s only 21 days until truck day….something to look forward to.

Regardless, I’d like to thank Tom Brady for leading our team, once again, to the playoffs. They had a great season, came back from some devestating losses and made it to the playoffs once again. Is the Dynasty over? Maybe, but I’m proud to be a New England fan even in the wake of this cr@p @ss loss.

Less than three hours….

I have so much nervous energy for this game, I can’t stand it. I can’t even distract myself by the Bears vs Saints game because it’s still more than 30 minutes away. Over the past few hours, I’ve managed to:

• Watch 2 Samuel L Jackson movies on TV (The Negotiator and Changing Lanes)
• Do laundry
• Wash the dishes
• Clean the humidifier
• Take a LONG hot shower
• Eat too many double stuff oreos
• Call my grandmother

Aaarghhhh…..I just want it to be game time already. Peyton, I’m ready for YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Go Pats!!!

A little more than six hours until kick-off! I am so excited for today’s game. Tom Brady has never lost a game indoors, Tom Brady is made for playoff games and apparently Tom Brady has good energy since he is no longer dating Bridget Moynahan and is reportedly linked to Giselle Bundchen. Ok, don’t ask me to expand on that last statement. It’s something my dad heard this morning while listening to some sports talk, I just thought it was funny.

I can’t lie. I’m also a bit nervous. The Colts have beaten us in our last two meetings, and they now have our golden kicker, Adam Vinatieri. Regardless, I’m pretty confident in our rookie kicker Gostkowski. Kid did good last week! He no longer has the “no winning field goals in a playoff game” stat looming over his head. He’s got a long way to go until he’ll be able to erase Adam from our minds, but he’s got a good start. Oh man, what if today comes down to a kicking game? I gotta stop thinking, nerves are going to take over.

OK, time for game prep. What in the world am I going to do for six hours?!??!
