Delusioned

Alright, you got me, I don’t like the football. However, when I read TechDirt, I got a bit more interested.

So, here’s the scoop: the patriots must be a bunch of arrogant pricks or something. I don’t know bright idea this was, but somebody thought it was worth while. What am I talking about? The patriots, as in the team, thought it would be a good idea to trademark “19-0″ which would have been their record if their victory hadn’t gone to their heads. Some in the background you can hear Homer running around yelling “Doh!”

Now if that wasn’t enough. Check this out: if you happen to be browsing around Amazon in the last day or few, you may notice something new upon their shelves. A book was put up, talk about the Patriots and their record season, except there’s one problem … yes, winning 18 straight games is ground breaking, but this book … it’s not about 18 games, it’s, you’ve guessed it, 19 games. Hum, somebody jumped the gun! I mean The Super Bowl … err … The Big Game … no, the “event” hasn’t even happened yet. And wouldn’t you know; they lost. Whoops, again! Maybe they can make some quick edits to that. What do you think: 18-1: The (Almost) Historic Championship Season of New England’s (not quite) Unbeatable Patriots?

Sorry boys, maybe next time you should hold off the excitement until after you win.
