The Patriots and Maine Real Estate
Heresy! The undefeated New England Patriots are playing the San Diego Chargers in the AFC Championship game this Sunday. And America's Mortgage Broker, Brian Brady from San Diego has come up with a novel reason why folks should be rooting for the Patriots to lose.
It seems that when an AFC team wins the Super Bowl, the real estate market goes down. When an NFC team wins, the real estate market goes up. Hence anyone interested in the real estate market should be hoping for an NFC victory in the big game. Since this Sunday's game is not the Superbowl but the AFC title game, I guess what Brian is saying is that it would be OK for San Diego to win because then they would lose the Super Bowl? Hmm. If I didn't know how hard Brian works I'd say he was spending a little to much time in the sun.
It should be a good game though. The Chargers have some great players on both sides of the ball and feature former UMaine standout Stephen Cooper in the middle of their defense. But these are the Patriots were talking about, maybe the greatest football team to ever walk the planet. Some people (me) even refer to them as the Newcastle Square Realty of football. In the end Tom Brady will be too much for the surfer dudes, Patriots 38-35.

The Patriots by only 3? I thought you called them the greatest team to walk the planet? Patriots by 14.

They ARE a great team and in 2 more games I expect they'll go down in history as the GREATEST team but right now there is a game to be played against a proffessional football team that has won their last 8 games and just knocked off the reigning champs in their own house.
I'll settle for a W any way it comes.
