10. Our long snapper was out of practice. 9. We thougth that since ESPN, CNN, Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, Football Weekly and the French Lick Times said we'd win we just had to show up. 8. CBS conspired against us because Boston is a bigger market. 7. That wasn't really Peyton Manning on the field. He was scooped up by Matians and replaced with an imposter because EVERYONE knows Peyton always ends up with a QB rating of over 125. 6. What's a sack? You aren't supposed to sack our QB! You cheaters! 5. We didn't want you to feel bad because we're going 17-0 next year anyway! 4. We didn't know Freeny had a fear of good blocking. 3. Edgarrin was hurt, Marcus was hurt, Peyton was hurt, Dwight was hurt, and lots more because we got so beaten up by that big bad KC defense last week. 2. No one said we had to execute properly too! 1. Everyone knows that on any given Sunday any team can beat any other right? riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

10) Too cold 9) Field too slippery 8) Too intimidated by racial slurs from fans 7) Abdul stole their luggage 6) Failed security because they forgot their Stanley knife 5) Curse of the Bambino 4) Stayed out drinking with Ted Kennedy 3) Refs bet on Patriots 2) Too busy thinking about the Howard Dean campain in Iowa 1) Barney Frank stole their jock straps
