I believe in Karma. Maybe it’s the universe’s way of evening things about, but you can only be so bad or so careless for so long that eventually the world rights itself and pays you back. In high school I was one of the guys that went out on Halloween and smashed pumpkins with my friends. Karma has paid me back tenfold in my adult years. Every Halloween when I walk to my front porch and see my great carvings smashed along the curb, I can only give a knowing-nod to Karma and shrug it off–it’s my own fault.
And I can’t wait until the NFL world pays back the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick for being complete sports jerks. I’ve never liked Belichick, mainly for superficial reasons like his sloppy hoodie and grandma-like looks (seriously, just look at him). But now I have real reasons, like cheating and running up the score on people just to pad stats and break records. I hate the Patriots so much that I actually cheered for my second least favorite team, the Eagles, Sunday night against the Patriots. It felt weird, like cheering for Stalin in a cage match against Hitler. Speaking of Stalin, Tom Brady isn’t off the hook either. He’s been slowly taking on the persona of his coach and turning into a complete tool. By the end of his career Karma will take away the supermodels and aspiring political career and hand him back an average Stepford wife, a minivan, and a sideline gig at a Punxsutawney Phil showing.
That’s why it’s only fitting the Miami Dolphins lost last night to the Steelers. The Dolphins were the last team to go undefeated, and now that the Patriots are on the same road, it would be poetic beauty if the Dolphins’ first (and only) win this season came against the Patriots on December 23rd. Whenever or wherever it happens (and it will happen), Karma will exact its toll on the Patriots in a wonderful way, and the world will once again be right.
