NFL Shit-Talking Haikus

I write this from a hotel room in Philadelphia on New Year’s Eve and editing it a few days later. One of my close friends got married on the 30th, so I have no more party left in me for New Year’s Eve (plus an early flight tomorrow morning). I grabbed food with the wedding party and ventured back to my hotel room where I’m living my best life eating a Philly cheesesteak and not paying a $50 cover to a bar where I can normally get in for free.

I’m writing this because in the blur that was the wedding after-party, one of my friend’s friends said he liked to get drunk and talk shit to non-Eagles fans via haiku, and I think I came up with a pretty good one on the spot about the Patriots. Now that I’ve got some time to kill while drying myself out, I want to take on the challenge of trying this with the other 31 teams.

Without further adieu, talking shit via haiku:
