As many of you may know, Tom Brady had his suspension upheld and is still suspended for the first four games of the season. Now, as much as I want to head straight to the NFL headquarters and request a battle royale with all of the NFL's front office, especially the commissioner whose name is not worth saying, I can't do that. I could go on and on about how angry and upset I am about not only the absurd suspension, but also the diabolical witch hunt that the NFL has carried out against Tom Brady, but I won't. All any of us common folk can do is sit and wait while Tom Brady and Mr. Kraft devise the most earth-shattering defense for when this case goes to court. Until that time, I want you all to listen to these 10 songs, in no particular order, that will help cope with the pain and get us through Deflategate. A few songs can be remixed to the current situation at hand with a few New England Patriots-related themes.
1. "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)" by Jason Mraz
I won't worry my life away.
2. "Breathe (2 AM)" by Anna Nalick
Oh breathe, just breathe.
3. "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter
"Sing a sad song just to turn it around"
4. "Everybody Hurts" by Avril Lavigne
"It's okay to be afraid." Take your pick, really; all the lines from this song help.
5. "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz
"I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough." (Insert "Tom" for "us.")
6. "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus
"There's always gonna be another mountain."
7. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler
"And I need you more than ever." (Insert "Tom" for "you.") I also recommend the cover version by The Dan Band as seen in the film "Old School."
8. "Stay" by Rihanna Ft. Mikky Ekko
This one makes the list strictly for the remix "I want you to playyyyy."
9. "The Only Exception" by Paramore
There are a couple remixes to go with this song. "When I was younger I saw, my daddy cry and curse at the wind" Insert "Giants" for "wind" (We lost to them in the Super Bowl twice). The more obvious remix here would be "You are the only exception." Insert "Tom" for "You" and to be grammatically correct insert "is" for "are."
10. "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley
This song speaks for itself. Don't worry Pats Nation, every little thing is gonna be alright.
I hope that these songs can give you a bit of peace as we, New England, wage war with the NFL. If there is a chance that these songs don't help your spirits, just remember, we still beat the Seahawks and won the Super Bowl with NFL-approved footballs. If I have said it once, I have said it a million times, kiss the goddamn rings. #FreeBrady
P.S. - Just in case you all forgot who we are talking about, here you go.
