You can pre-order their book on the "perfect season" now on Amazon. Methinks this is bad karma.

    I didn't say they were going to lose, I implied it was foolhardy to be counting chickens before they hatch.

    I'm sure there was a good deal of hubris when NYY was up 3-0 on Boston in 2004.

    NO GOOD, bad karma indeed. 12 or 13 yrs ago my son was on a basketball team and they were 9 and 0 and had 1 more game left. Someone suggested they get a ball and have everyone sign it. All the kids chipped in and BEFORE the game (2 days b4 to be exact) they wrote in big letters 10 and 0 and all the kids signed it. My son was the captain of the team and brought the ball home and I took 1 look at it and laughed. He wondered why I was laughing and I told him, what happens if you lose? You already wrote 10 and 0 on it. He stated they were playing a team that had only 3 wins all season and they had already beaten them once b4,. Well you can imagine the ball never left the car as they lost that game.

    In my various softball leagues guys would talk BS and get bit there too.


    Thank God the Patsies did this, now the G-Men are really looking good. I also hope Shockey stays away too as they are 3 and 0 with him not there.

    Good for you.

    The memorabilia sellers have to plan ahead in order to cash in as quick as they can after the Super Bowl. I guarantee that Home Shopping
    Network the very next day will be selling sweat shirts, books or something to do with whoever wins the game.

    Sports Illustrated has probably already gotten all of the footage of both teams for the commemorative/subscription offer DVD of the past
    season and playoffs for both teams all ready and are just waiting to add the superbowl highlights.

    Ron,

    I don't doubt that you heard this but where is your source?

    I'm searching Amazon and the only book that came up with keywords (perfect season patriots [not in quotes]) was a book from 2005.

    Amazon Search Link

    Even doing just a basic search with "patriots" still came up with nothing recent: Link

    The only news I could find was the following site (link) but when you click their news link, it takes you to a "Page not found" : linkypoo

    So if you could provide a link to the book, I would greatly appreciate it.

    I think that the Pats over the Rams and the Broncos team that beat the Pack were the only teams that was a double digit dog that won the game outright. I could be wrong however. I would bet that most double digit dogs do not cover either.

    Personally, I see the Pats steamrolling the Gmen. It will be 21-0 before anyone blinks.

    edited: I was wrong ... a few others

    stown - heard it on the radio this morning from the show's producer who said you could get it on Amazon. If I am wrong, screw him not me. image

    And for the record, I too think it'll be 21-0 Pats before I have my second slice of pizza.

    Don't worry, I'm not shooting the messenger.

    Just noticed nothing came up on Amazon nor google, so figured I should ask you.

    It's the Boston Globe, not the Patriots coming out with the book

    Patriots view the whole thing with a good dose of sarcasm. And 90% of the book will just be a collection of articles from the Globe already printed from the past year. The New York Post is offering the same exact service, though likely not being pushed as hard this week

    When the Red Sox won the World Series they had such a same book format (though $7.99 not $14.95) within two days

    Same applies for the parade route. How could anyone put something like that together on perhaps less than 24-hour notice. Someone in New York is considering the logistics

    For your information, Its the Boston globe, a local paper that is promoting the book, Pats have nothing to do with it.
    Also, both cities have to plan parades in advance in case their team wins, New York is doing the same...
