Cursed To First - Sox and Pats forever.

Patriots to Jets: How do ya like us now?

Sweet, lemony-fresh victory is ours.

Hearts. Puppies. Kittens. Unicorns. 

True, unadulterated happiness.

If a genie had popped out of a bottle before tonight and given me one wish on behalf of the New England Patriots, I would probably have said, "I would like for the Patriots to beat the everloving piss out of the New York Jets on national television in the biggest game of the regular season, after the Jets, their loudmouthed coach included, talk shit all damn week as usual."

That wish was tonight's command.

It may not exactly be healthy to be this emotionally affected by a sporting event. But tonight, at least it's in a positive direction.

There were so many memorable things about this game. Too many to make a full catalog, but it will be a pleasure to try. Feel free to add any I may forget, it being late and all...

Patriots do the Monster Mash on Vikings, 28-18

When last we saw them, the Patriots had all but fallen apart, escaping San Diego with a 3-point win against a barely competent opponent. And now, on All Hallow's Eve, Randy Moss was back to haunt his former home, as well as a still-questionable Patriots secondary.

So you could say things were a little spooky coming in to today's game, and they stayed that way for Patriots fans until the second half, which began tied at 7-7.
