Why does all this "luck" stuff follow the Patriots around?
Because the Patriot definition of luck is a winner's definition of luck - when preparation meets opportunity.
They are prepared mentally and physically each week for max performance, as much as human nature will allow- from ownership down to the ballboys (remember who deflated Tom's footballs?)
As a fan it has been a wonderous experience.
My recommendation is that you should all become Patriots fans until your local teams start competing in the same way. It has been a joyous 16 year run. My hands are deformed from all the high fives.
