I have tried, all day and unsuccessfully, to order the Boston Globe’s book on the 19-0 New England Patriots that went on sale nearly two weeks ago. The title of the book was supposed to be “19-0: The Historic Championship Season of New England’s Unbeatable Patriots.” The title of the revamped book will be “18-1: The Historic Season of Failure for New England’s Patriots.” This now infamous book, which will never actually be published, had reached as high as twelve on the Amazon.com best seller’s list. Obviously, many Patriots fans assumed that their team could was the inevitable victor. How glorious. The forums on Amazon have listed the books that were also purchased by these New England fans (via Amazon.com)

I had the opportunity to spend the weekend in New England as a fly on the wall. Every person and establishment had already planned their week around a Patriots championship. “Super Tuesday” was being planned as a victory parade for the entire region. It was all so gloriously foretold, so inevitable, so obnoxious. The fact that it has all come crashing down is so beautiful.
