What a super week the first in February will prove to be. While media eyes sensationalize this historic Super Tuesday primary, most of the country has their sights set on Super Sunday. Generally, sports and politics are on separate sides of the spectrum, yet this year these two events may be foreshadowing the same future. This Tuesday, we discover which two candidates have a 50/50 shot of leading our country through this upcoming landmark term, while this Sunday we witness a classical David vs Goliath, except that in this scenario the Lord-chosen David is the little Giant, while the Wicked and powerful Goliath is...A Patriot?

See, I have a theory that half this scenario was scripted, while the Giants squeaking in... that could be an omen. "Ey" says the gruff New Englander. "What's all this conspiracy bullshit about my Pats? Weeeeeew" Think about it though. Somebody blows up two recently insured buildings for their own criminal, monetary gains in September of 2001. America has been attacked and the nation in mourning. By the end of that 2001 football season the New England Patriots, only 5-11 the previous year, win the super bowl.

In the 35 years prior, the Pats had been to the super bowl twice, losing both. In the seven years since, they have been to three, winning them all, and are now on their way to a fourth. How well does that work out? During this grievous time, and the ensuing war, the team wearing the red white and blue uniforms comes out as "The Greatest Team In The World." "weeeeew"

By the way, I'm not so insane as to say that I believe fully that this was all some kind of governmental set up. This could have, like our Sunday match up, been destiny. Still, with Belichick getting busted with high tech spy equipment earlier this year, and a plethora of fortuitous calls, I have to wonder. During a challenge, what is the ref listening to in those big ear muffs? Is it sounds from the field, or is it a sinister voice telling him that a call against the Patriots will result in waterboarding? Even the egoic voice of conservatism, Bill O'Reilly has said there's just something kinda evil about the patriots.

In a strange twist, patriots might in fact be just the opposite, while whistleblowers and dissenters might in fact be patriots. No one needs to be reminded that this election is a very important one. In observing ordinary Americans, and the candidates fighting to represent them, I see a glimmer of hope that through a little hard work, and some common sense, we may be able to start digging ourselves out of our current hole. Meanwhile, New Yorkers see a glimmer of hope that they can defeat the marauding Pats in a game that could prove to be much more historically meaningful than any super bowl past. Even if it is rigged.
