This may seem rambling at first, but bear with me.

I originally wrote this for Patriot fans, but Bills fans, Dolphin fans, heck even Raider fans might profit from this.

Years ago I went to the bathroom at the gym and stepped on my shorts.  

Easy solution, move your feet.  That was not my first reaction.  My first reaction was to pull harder.  That caused my hand to slip, and I punched myself in the nuts.

I did not throw up.  It hurt like hell, but I did not throw up.

Instead I stared at the wall for ten or so minutes.

Buddha came to enlightenment by staring at a wall.  We don't know if he hit himself in the nuts, but isn't all religion about hitting yourself in the nuts on some level?  (We Catholics know what I'm talking about.)

As it says in the great Buddhist song, "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together."

Lyrics to I Am the Walrus.

It was then that I realized the meaning of life.  Or should I say the meaningless of life.

I contemplated the universe and realized, since we are all the same, everyone should get punched in the nuts and stare at a wall an contemplate the universe where people punch themselves in the nuts and contemplate the universe while staring at a wall and realize that we all need to be punched in the nuts and contemplate the universe, ad infinitum.

My team obviously feels the same.

So if your team lost, stare at a wall until it no longer hurts.

Then find a "cocky" fan of the winning team and do him a favor.  Punch him in the nuts.
