BWE SPORTS: Top 10 Reasons Why We All Want The Patriots To Lose

I’m at the VH1 corporate retreat for the day, likely receiving motivational speeches from James Carville and/or Susan Powter, so I’ve turned my title of “One Dude On The Site Who Cares About Sports” to Josh Lay, one of our Best Night Ever producers. Take it away, Josh:

Pa•tri•ot n. one who loves, supports, and defends one’s country. Or one who was, are, and will be unbeatable in the 2007-2008 NFL football season. I mean, honestly, can anyone beat the New England Patriots? Sure, the Jaguars kept it close for a few quarters, but whoopty freakin’ do, they still lost. Let’s not kid ourselves — no one can stand the idea of the Patriots going undefeated and winning the Super Bowl more than anyone can stand listening to Jessica Simpson’s “A Public Affair.” Why do we want them to lose so badly? Here’s a list of ten reasons:

10. Picked last in kickball syndrome. We’ve all been there. Team captains are chosen. One by one, classmates side with their best friends and the superior third-grade athletes until you and the handicapped kid are the last two remaining. And because they feel bad for him, you’re the last one chosen. Thus, you are a loser. What? You’ve never been there? Then you probably play for the Patriots, and I hope you lose.

9. Junior Seau’s haircut. It looks like Thriller-era Michael Jackson meets Kid ‘n Play. And no one with that kind of haircut deserves a Super Bowl ring. Perhaps his own ’80s sitcom or barbershop named Silly Seau Cuts but definitely not a 2008 Super Bowl victory.

8. You have a crush on Gisele. As long as Tom Brady keeps winning, Gisele will keep dating him. Which means your secret Gisele crush will never come to fruition. Not that she would date me—I mean, you—anyway, but it’s the principle. At least I can keep my fantasy relationship and Google her till my heart’s desire. Wait, did I just write that? I blacked out.

7. Boston wins at everything. Tea parties, rotisserie chicken, baseball, and now basketball. So what if Boston Market offers easy on-line ordering and convenient take-away meals for all occasions? I can’t stand bandwagon Red Sox fans and the fact that the Celtics are actually good again. No one city should win that much. And having a losing professional hockey team doesn’t count. Please, Boston, at least let us have our football.

6. You’re a fan of any other NFL team. There are 32 NFL teams, 14 of those teams played the Patriots (Jets, Bills, Dolphins played them twice). If your team was one of those 17 victories for the Patriots this year in the regular season and/or post-season, your team lost. That simple. You want revenge.

5. Head coach Bill Belichick’s plethora of hooded sweatshirts. Admit it. You can’t stand ‘em. No one should a) have that many hooded sweatshirts, b) wear them that often, or c) cut the sleeves off. All I’m asking is for a classic polo or maybe even a nice team-branded tee. But no, it’s always gotta be the sweatshirt. He has more hoodies than my grandmother has Christmas cat sweaters. And that’s saying something.

4. They already have three Super Bowl rings. Honestly, do they really need one more? Their fingers are already loaded: wedding ring, high school ring, college ring (I know you still wear your Marshall ring, Randy Moss), three Super Bowl rings. C’mon, don’t be that kid that wears them on his thumbs.

3. They cheated. Sure, we’ve all done it. But we weren’t winners; we were just trying to maintain a C average. The Patriots may have the most explosive offense and hold every record on the planet, but they were accused of stealing hand signals from opposing teams. That’s enough for me to root against a team I already don’t like.

2. The mustache of Larry Csonka could disapear forever. As a pro football Hall of Famer and running back for the ’72 Miami Dolphins (the only team to go undefeated and win a Super Bowl), Csonka and his stache made history. If the Patriots win the Super Bowl this year, there will be no reason to keep ol’ Csonka around. There will be a new sheriff in town. No more Csonka. No more magnificently flowing mustache. Sure, we could still catch Csonka hosting North to Alaska on the OLN network, but I don’t think I even get that channel. Do I?

1. Tom Brady. Seriously, could he be any hotter or more talented? No. He is a prime athlete, la creme de le creme. And I’m a straight guy. Of course, I’m sure he could have me batting for the other team. After all, he’s Tom Brady. I mean, Bridgette Moynahan is his baby momma, and he’s still shacking up with Gisele. It has got to stop. Granted, if he loses, he’ll just host another night of SNL and pose for a cologne ad. But for that one moment when he loses, he will be human. And that will be enough to soothe our bitter souls.
