LONGWALKABOUT

The meanderings of a restless soul. (it's a lot less serious than it sounds)

Explaining Boston’s Bad Winter (and some links)

I’ll let you in on a secret. I know the reason why Boston is having a historically bad winter. It’s all because of the Superbowl.

After 2005, it was decided up above, that the New England Patriots should never win another Superbowl. Thereafter, an angel was assigned to the big game every time the Patriots played in it. You may laugh, but there is evidence. Both times the Giants beat them, it was with the help of a miraculous play. David Tyree’s catch in 2008, and Mario Manningham’s catch in 2012. But it all went bad in 2015.

We’re going to call the angel assigned to the game Mike. Mike was doing his job. It was late in the game and he knew it was time for him to step in. And, boom, Jermaine Kearse makes a miracle catch down the sideline and Seattle gets set up at the goal line. Mike figures he’s helped out enough, and the Seahawks will just run the ball into the endzone. He takes a couple minutes to take care of some other angel business, and comes back. At this point he’s utterly confused. The Patriots had won the game. Then he finds out what happened, and Mike says, “Why would they throw the ball? No one would make that call, I am so tired of people. Man am I gonna be in trouble.” Long story short, to make up for this mistake, Mike was assigned to punish Boston and make sure Patriot fans could not enjoy the Superbowl win.
