llcoolvadIf you're a fan of the Patriots who is having trouble dealing with yesterday's loss, here's something I heard on the radio today that might help:
A Pats fan was in Vegas at the beginning of this season, drunk out of his mind, and he placed a $500 bet on the Patriots having a perfect season. Odds something like 13,000 to 1. So on Saturday, Vegas calls this guy, wanting to buy him out of the bet for $2.4M. That's million. The guy says "what would I get if they win?" and it's something like $6.5M. So he says no thanks, I'll take my chances.
There, don't you feel better?
