And like my affinity for the Red Sox, it has nothing to do with their recent success. I was a Pats fan waaaaay back in the early 80's...back when they were gawd-awful. I was a fan when they were blown out of the '85 Super Bowl by the Bears. And I continued to be a fan when they want back to being gawd-awful for the next decade or so.
So, of course, I was pulling for the Patriots last night. Though I have to say it was an interesting dynamic for me, because usually, if there's an underdog, and I don't care too much either way, I'll root for the underdog. And the Giants were giant (ha ha) underdogs. Except they're from New York. And I just can't root for a team from New York. And they were playing the Patriots. Who I like. But the Patriots are coached by Bill Belichick. Who I greatly dislike. The man is a football genius, but he's an arrogant jerk.
Hm. With all these issues, I may need therapy.
There's a website, http://www.despair.com/, that sells posters that are parodies of those horrible "motivational" posters you see in cubicle-hell offices. Check out the site, there's some really cool ones. Fairly recently, they've added a section to the site that allows you to create your own. They won't make it into an actual poster for you, but you can save it to your comupter as a .jpg.
So, thinking about the game...and especially the end of the game, when Bill Belichick left the field even though there was a second left on the clock and the Giants had to run another play, I created one of my own. Pretty sums up my feelings for Belichick (you can click on the picture to make it bigger):
