It's over. That glorious, primal, exquisite sense of bliss that New England football fans have felt ever since the Patriots won their first superbowl back in 2001. And then again the year after that. That sense of rooting for a team that was not only superior on the field, but amazingly connected off the field. The brilliance of Bill Belichick, the otherworldly talent of Tom Brady were only the most visible part of the magic made by the collective energies of Willie McGinist, Troy Brown, Tedy Bruschi, Adam Viniteri, and the rest. It's all gone aka there is no joy in Mudville tonight. After losing McGinest and Dave Gibbon last week, we now have to contend with the loss of Adam V, the superheroic kicker who has decided to follow the lead of the faithless Johnny Damon of the Red Sox and, like him, go over to the enemy. Within days of becoming a free agent, Adam V joined the ranks of the Indianapolis Colts, the sworn enemy of Patriots fans everywhere. and a team whose quarterback has spent the last few years wondering why he gets paid so much to do only half of what the less well-paid Tom brady can do in his sleep. Oh, Adam! We will mourn you. But we will never root for you again. And we can't but help hope that your new team continues to fall short in the playoffs.
