would a patriots loss

Being that this season was lousy for us, the Patriots losing would be the most satisfying moment of the season for me. Personally, I hate them. I hate butt-chin, his on-field prima-donna whining and his oh-so phony attempts at humility. I hate Belichick, his disrespect for his opponents and his classless attempts to run up the score. That being said, I DO respect them. What they've done this decade is nothing short of remarkable, especially given that this is the first dynasty of free agency... but I do not respect them enough to ever cheer for them to go undefeated. The hierarchy of joy still to be extracted from this season, for me, is as follows:

3. Patriots lose
2. Patriots lose to San Diego (I cheer for them until they play us and I'd love to see some sweet revenge from last year)
1. Chargers win Super Bowl

Now, none of it would make up for this bad Saints season; they're incompatible so there's no "consolation" to be found there. HOWEVER, the hierarchy for what COULD make up for this dismal season, for me, is as follows:

3: Draft James Laurinaitis in the 1st; Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie in the 2nd
2: Draft Kenny Phillips in the 1st; Shawn Crable in the 2nd
1: Draft Sedrick Ellis in the 1st; Shawn Crable in the 2nd


THAT would be our consolation.
