Okay-I know the Colts beat the Patriots early this year. I watched the game, it hurt. But all week I've been watching coverage getting ready for the AFC Championship game, and it wasn't until we were having breakfast watching NFL Matchup this morning that I remembered why we lost...Belichick wore a Red Sweatshirt! See, we've got nothing to worry about today! Bill's going to wear his "BB" torn up gray sweatshirt and all will be right in the world.

The Patriots are a ritualistic team. I'm a ritualistic fan. I've got my clothing rules, my jersey rules, and even lately my food rules. As long as Bill gets back into his own ritual of looking like a total slob, everything will be fine. For the first time this week, I feel completely confident in the game. I can stop watching coverage and get to putting a coat of Pale Sand on the walls.
