The summer was weird. Let’s forget about the summer. Let’s just embrace the start of the 2013 season with blind enthusiasm, as if everything is juuuuuust fine.
I know you don’t need the help, but here are 10 reasons to be blindly enthused about the 2013 season:
1. Tom Brady still
2. Him throwing lots of touchdowns
3. Not being the Jets
4. Gronk’s fifth surgery seemed to do the trick
5. Can you say…another AFC East title?
6. Belichick still
7. Him throwing challenge flags that were kept in his sock
8. Jamie Collins: ball-magnet
9. Danny Amendola: human Forget-Me-Now
10. A young defense that’s getting better every year
10. Okay this started out sarcastic, now I’m getting excited!
10. A young, versatile running-back corps that gives our offense a whole new dimension
10. Kenbrell Thompkins: Serious. Breakout. Potential.
10. I’ve blown past 10 reasons!
10. Tim Tebow: Enterprise employee
10. Zach Sudfeld: Cult hero in the making
10. Seriously though: Brady. Belichick. Wilfork. Ten-straight seasons of ten-or-more wins. Been to six AFC title games in the last 12 years. Went to five Super Bowls. Won three. So close the last two years. Why can’t the third time be a charm?
Okay, I’m ready.
