Donald Trump and the New England Patriots

Yes, it's Super Bowl time again, and you know what that means. It's time to ponder the age-old question. Is Tom Brady the greatest quarterback of all time? No, not that one. Is Bill Belichick the greatest coach to ever walk an NFL sideline? As if. Can anyone stop the New England Patriots? Keep guessing. Are the Patriots cheating again? Do large, hairy mammals defecate in woodland areas? I digress. On to the real, pressing question perplexing modern America. One that likely has no discernible answer, and has left Patriots fans angry and incredulous. How did the only state in the Union where every single county went for Hillary Clinton became the football home of a bunch of Trump supporters? I don't know, but they hate it so I'm loving it.

The only thing that might possibly be worse for America than a Trump Presidency is a Patriots Championship. The only thing that makes either thought entertaining is watching New Englanders trying to wrap their minds around the relationship between the two. Fans like Teresa Hsiao.

Teresa Hsiao, who says she no longer can be a part of Patriots Nation, has given away most of her team gear, including 14 T-shirts, five hats, three jerseys and one sweatshirt from Super Bowl XLIX.  

Al Cantor won't be watching the Super Bowl either.

“Had they all voted for Trump and kept their mouths closed that wouldn’t bother me,” Cantor said. “But they used their position and prestige and influence in a way that I thought was utterly inappropriate and left a terrible taste in my mouth.” 

Well, isn't that heartwarming? Not as heartwarming as this little love letter Bill Belichick dropped in the old snail mail box for The Donald.

“Congratulations on a tremendous campaign. You have dealt with an unbelievable slanted and negative media and have come out beautifully. You’ve proved to be the ultimate competitor and fighter. Your leadership is amazing. I have always had tremendous respect for you, but the toughness and perseverance you have displayed over the past year is remarkable. Hopefully tomorrow’s election results will give the opportunity to Make America Great Again. Best wishes for great results tomorrow, Bill Belichick.” 

Well, at least we see what it takes to get Patriots fans wound up. Illegally spying on the opponent? Who cares? Illegally deflating footballs so that Tom Brady can wrap his tiny. little.. hands... Ah! And now it finally makes sense. It's just like your Mom always said. Birds of a feather man crush together. Hey, maybe President Trump can smooth things over with his man crush for Robert Kraft so he can get his Super Bowl ring back from Big Daddy Vladdy Putin. You know, the one Vlad got the same way Kraft got it? He stole it fair and square. I'm getting the feeling it might be a little small for Putin's hands anyway.

So... what would a heaping helping of Patriots hater tots be without capping the whole thing off with the offending parties hanging out together. Perhaps Al and Teresa can cry over these photos while the rest of us watch the Falcons and the Patriots a week from Sunday.
