Is there a football equivalent to "The Green Fields of the Mind" by Bart Giamatti? I need to feel better about things.

Yeah it's this:

“My sweet friends and family: This offseason will be a really important one in my husband’s life. He and his team worked so hard to get to this point and now they need us more than ever to send them positive energy so they can fulfill their dream of winning another super bowl …

So I kindly ask all of you to join me on this positive chain and pray for him, so he can feel confident, healthy and strong. Envision him happy and fulfilled experiencing with his team a victory on a sunday about 1 year from now.

Thank you for your love and support."

New York sucks.

If you released a pack of zombies into the crowd at a Jets or Giants home game, they'd starve to death.

[Domer]

Any quotes?

I've honestly shut the tv off and turned the phone off. I don't really want to venture outside of this thread right now either.

No quotes, but I could sense his emotion over the radio.

Fuck.

[Jed Zeppelin]

I don't give a fuck about Welker's press conference. He's still fucking richer than any of us will ever be, although none of us will have the chance to piss away the Super Bowl sooooo.

[Papo The Snow Tiger]

New York sucks. Move out.

Northern New Jersey sucks too.

[Domer]

Only 4 teams have led a Super Bowl with 1:00 left and lost. Belichick has coached two of them.

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

Starting with the September collapse, getting hurt severely at work in October, losing my Father to cancer in November, losing my cat on Wednesday and now having to deal with this bullshit... WTF? Really? This whole time frame fucking blows more than anything. I'm still stunned. This is the oddest Super Bowl that I've had to witness. 17-9 we had this shit. 12 unanswered after that... Son of a fucking fuck

I think I am going to give up sports. This just hurts too much.

My wife agrees. The Pats are to her what the Red Sox are to me.

[Three10toLeft]

I think I am going to give up sports. This just hurts too much.

I'm starting to feel like I would enjoy life a lot more if I did this. Maybe pick up a healthy hobby, cycling or something.

I don't wanna deal with this shit much more.

SB42 ripped my heart out. SB46 took my soul. I will be an empty shell from now on.

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

I understand that there are multiple reasons why the Pats lost this game.

The most painful/signature/Asante-like reason in my mind is the Welker drop.

I know it was not a perfect throw. I remember the safety. Brady had some shitty moments. Blah Blah Blah.

Welker catches that pass and the game is 99.999 % in the bag.

Good Lord you have to be shitting me. Boston has 7 major sports titles in the last decade. Give me a fucking break.

[Mystic Merlin]

This much is clear....we diehards are sick people.

Fucking sports.

[JBill]

I'm worried I didn't enjoy the championships enough, took them for granted. It's so fucking hard to win a Superbowl.

[Kull]

Cliche as fuck, but it's the depths which give the heights there special savor. If you don't take these rides all the way to the bottom, you're just a front-running douche who will never know the real bliss that sports can provide.

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Fuckballs

[jmm57]

Yep.

It sucks, because I still love the guy. But to me, it's clear these last couple playoff games that he hasn't played at an elite level. This Giants defense is good, but not all-time levels good. If you're supposed to be one of the greatest QB's to ever play the game, you need to win this game. If we had Aaron Rodgers tonight, we would have won. Especially with his scrambling ability.

You mean the same Aaron Rodgers that lost to this team 3 weeks ago?

It was more a joke... tongue in cheek.

I thought everyone picked up on that kind of thing around here...

destroy something cheep. like a pillow, a trashcan, an apple

[Jed Zeppelin]

I don't really blame anyone, despite my posts so far. I'm just fucking sad. This team deserved to win and they didn't. That sucks.

[Domer]

Well at least I won free pizza so the night is not a total loss

[shoosh77]

I'm inviting flaming here but so what. We love this team, we make our families crazy for 6 months, and then this. But we (mostly) get to wake up in a country where we have it better than 99% of the world. And we have kids who will love us, who will be upset about this with us and will also get excited about next season and the Sox season coming up. My 6 yr old stayed up for the whole game, and was ready to cry, and all I could do was tell him that it happens and we'll get them next year. He's learning early what I learned during SB XX. Hopefully he doesn't have to wait too long to see 3 rings.

[Three10toLeft]

It's coming from Papa John's.

So I'm gonna go ahead and say it is a total loss.

Yep. And there is no fucking way I will ever be a front running douchebag. Never. Mpost people now treat loyalty as a dirty word. Not me. Which is why I will forever love this team. Which is why it hurts so much.

[mascho]

Yeah, go cheap. Throw pillows against the wall or something. I shattered a cell phone when Brady threw that pick in the playoffs in Denver.

[dcmissle]

SJH said the game would be agonizing, and it was. It usually come doen to 3 to 5 plays, and it did.

[Three10toLeft]

I'm happy I bought Drive a couple days ago and never got around to watching it.

Perfect time to turn on the old Apple TV.

It's been fun guys... On to baseball. But in the mean time... More beer.

[TwoDownInTheNinth]

You know, I used to handle postseason heartbreaks pretty well. I would be able to say, "gotta hand it to the other team" and even keep watching the postgame show. After SB 42, the Ravens loss, the Jets loss, and tonight, the tv was off as soon as the clock read 00:00.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I will finish every single possible quest in Skyrim over the next few weeks.

[Gunfighter 09]

Bad drop by Welker on Second down, but really that was 2 straight lousy throws by Brady

This.

[Ferm Sheller]

That cocksucker jon abbey is lurking in here just like he was doing at the end of the Sox's season. I really don't know why you guys humor that twat.

We should've lost to the Ravens. it would've been easier to handle.

[Hendu's Gait]

Looking at the replay, with 32 seconds to go, the 1st down 11 yard pass to Hernandez wasn't the best option, with Woodhead WIDE open with easy ability to go OOB. Another Brady mistake.

[Norm Siebern]

When the Sox lost the last night of the season, I laughed at them. Yep, I laughed my head off at them. They deserved what they got. I was more upset when Tito left than when that bunch of clowns spit the bit the last night of the year.

But this Patriots team? They deserved better than this. Damnit.

You're right of course. 2004 more than made up for Bucky Dent/Bill Buckner/Aaron Boone. I'll still be watching next season. I still feel like breaking somehting though.

[ShaneTrot]

I guess what is really bothering me is I don't see the big difference between the teams that allows the Giants to beat the Pats 3x in a row, think about it. If the Pats beat the Giants during the season, the Giants are not in the playoffs.

That's the age old question - is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all?
Unfortunately, it seems like this is the price of admissions for being relevant and in the mix. For every October 2004 there is an Oct 2003. For every Pats Rams and Panthers there are the Giants. Same with Celts-Lakers through the years.
If Boston fans are in the mix every year there is bound to be some heartbreak along the way. Better to be in the game though then sitting on the sidelines. 30 other teams would trade with us. No doubt it sucks right now, but least we are relevant and in the mix every year.
That's the price to pay we pay.
There is heartbreak along the way but who knows what may be right around the next corner.
