Montezuma's Revenge?

 

A friend of this page has some useful information about the Pat's loss in the Super Bowl.

 

It might seem wild, but it isn't. Duke once lost a title game, partially due to their best player suffering from diarrhea(?). When they played the same team the following season, they beat them.

 

Did the Patriots literally shit the bed in the Super Bowl?

 

They were listless, a step behind the play, easily overpowered, and faded as the game progressed. The best offense in NFL history only got 14 points on a team they had surged past 30 points against about a month earlier.

 

The previous game was a high scoring affair. This one was a sloppy trench war. The Patriots won the shootout...the Giants won the slugout.

 

My big scoop leads to several uncomfortable questions:

 

- Was the Super Bowl decided by one team getting sick all at once?

 

- How much do you really think it would cost to bribe a sickly hotel chef to maybe cough into the Patriot's food?

 

- Were the Patriots perhaps drugged?

 

- If we can prove that they were drugged (and that a Giant person was behind it), what should the NFL do? Forfeit the game? Take away the Giant's first round pick?

 

- Will the Super Bowl ever be played in Arizona again? If so, will players bring their own food and water?

 

- With bookmakers taking historic beatings after this game, will the Mafia murder someone prominent?

 

Anyhow... here's the letter I got, shortly after the Super Bowl. Itmay also be the first Mexican hotelier/housewife-driven scoop in sportswriting history.

 

The "brawl" that Gerri refers to was between NB columnists Stacey and Elle....

 

 

 

I don't know what to make of this brawl, but I rushed over here to tell the sports person or people who write this blog that I have some inside scoop as to why the Patriots lost.  You know I live in Arizona, right?  My sister's boyfriend who is a Mexican with a green card (very important now days) who just got recertified after months of delay works in a big hotel north of the stadium.  The Patriots had been housed over in Scotsdale but moved themselves over to this hotel because it was closer to the stadium, I don't know how many days before.  Many of them came down with the runs, even accused the cook of putting something in their food!  Meaning they were thinking about something else during the gave and attributed the bad food to losing.  This would have could have happened in Mexico had the Superbowl been played there, but it is true, the Patriots might not have been prepared for Arizona germs the natives have become immune, to.  Does this mean we will not get another superbowl here any time soon?  I don't know.  You might investigate this story by interviewing the affected players.  I am a fan of Stacey, Elle, and Abdullah, whoever writes this blog as I love a good sense of humor. And I don't want Stacey to be felled so low by the conviction that the Patriots choked.  Not even great football players are prepared to ignore everything for the win.   Gerry http://journals.aol.com/gehi6/daughters-of-the-shadow-men/
