The New England Patriots had lost two Super Bowls before Belichick became their head coach. But the crucial event occurred during that one day he spent as coach of the New York Jets, a position he never had any intention of occupying.
During that day with the Jets, he went into the city and located an Evil Shaman, who connected him to the Devil for a one-on-one consultation, during which Belichick sold his soul in exchange for a guarantee that, while Belichick was their coach, the Pats would never lose a "clutch" game, regular season or playoffs.
"But William," I can hear you say, "what about the two Super Bowl losses to the Giants?" Well, that's where proof that the Forces of Light remain powerful in this world comes from!
Saul Sumeebian was a construction worker who helped build Giants Stadium. He was an ardent NYG fan. More importantly, though, his wife was from New Orleans, and cast a Blessing of Righteousness over the newly-relocated Giants, giving them the ability to always defeat the Powers of Hell. This is exactly why the G-men have defeated the Patriots in both Super Bowls they've played against them.
Now, of necessity, this also means that teams who have, indeed, defeated the Giants in clutch games are not evil, including the 2000 Ravens, with potentially-murderous Ray Lewis on their roster. But what, do I look like a theologian to you???
The smoking gun that proves my statements here are absolute truth is this: Look at the Demon Coach's name again: It ought to be pronounced Belichick, but yet is always pronounced Belichek, as though a tough, blue-collar Eastern European name, rather than a whitebread surname that has "chick" in it, a fact that Beelzebub Bill considered an insult to his bloated sense of masculinity. This was the final stipulation on Belichick's part in order to seal the deal with Satan.
And now you know!

(66,817 posts)Easily the best QB of all time working with one of the best coaches of all time, and then you throw Gronk into it? Best of luck to the other team, is about all I can say.
Living in the Pittsburgh area, hatred of the Patriots is practically required by law. Still, credit where due.
I look forward to your years of positive contributions on DU.

(61,033 posts)Just as in the "Tuck Rule" game against the Raiders years ago, the league always rules in favor of the hated patriots in murky rules decisions on the field.
That was a touchdown yesterday.

(66,817 posts)but I'm mostly indifferent to it. I'm aware when the games are on, and I'm pleased when the town in general enjoys a win, but mostly I don't know anything about the games until I get back to the office on Monday.
Having said that, the word 'round the water cooler is that the Steelers got hosed.

(27,493 posts)that may have caused them to lose a game, that I have questioned and felt the officials had it in for the Pats. To be honest, if I was a Steeler fan I'd be feeling pretty angry at the refs for taking back the TD. But in the end they have a job to do, as thankless as it is at times. Here is SVP of Officiating Al Riveron explaining the call. Sounds like the right call was made.

Finally, Roethlisberger didn't spike the ball on the 7 yard line with time ticking down to set up a FG, tie the game and send it into OT. Then the table is reset and it's anybody's game. Instead he went for the TD which ended up being intercepted. So the Steelers had a chance and elected to go for the win instead of the tie.

(61,033 posts)That's a bullshit call. He caught the ball in both hands. We all saw that.
He then broke the plane with the ball firmly in his hands.
If anything it should have been ruled a fumble in the end zone that he recovered.
Touchdown!
