I have this superstition: if I watch an important football game, the team I’m rooting for loses. So I usually try not to pay attention to important football games.
However, today I watched — really watched — the Patriots-Colts game. Especially the second half.
Oops.
SUBSEQUENT THOUGHT: On the plus side, the Patriots’ loss means I can forego the silliness and hype of the Super Bowl. I probably won’t even watch it, except for maybe Prince.
