Boston vs Minnesota
From Simmons' mailbag:
Q: How 'bout this hypothetical? It's 2012, Matt Cassel is the quarterback for the Vikings and standing with a Super Bowl MVP trophy in one hand and a Super Bowl trophy in another. It's his third Super Bowl MVP in four years, two with the Vikings and one with the Patriots in 2009. He states in his opening remarks, "I would like to dedicate this Super Bowl to Tom Brady for getting injured and allowing me to finally get my shot." Flash to Foxboro, where Tom Brady has never returned to his 2007 form and reinjured his knee three times since, and Bill Belichick has retired from coaching due to having a heart attack from seeing Cassel win his second Super Bowl without the Patriots. Jump to 2022, as the Patriots have become the '90s Cincinnati Bengals and you are hysterically crying while writing a piece titled "The Curse of Matt Cassel: IT IS REAL." -- Andrew, Boston SG: Just real enough that I made the same face that babies make when you stick a lemon in their mouths.
Do you think Simmons' reaction would have been a little better had it been any team other than the Vikings? Because I do.
There's something about Minnesota that people in Boston seem to just hate. I don't know what it is, but I think it has to become my life's mission to find out.
