The Patriots held their Super Bowl send-off party at Gillette Stadium on Sunday morning, and most of the players were dressed to kill. It was fun to see Vince Wilfork break out his super-sized suit, but the real star of the afternoon was linebacker Brandon Spikes. As Gators fans would remember, Spikes rocked a pink suit before Florida won their national championships in college. Now that the Patriots are playing for a championship, he decided to steal the show by breaking it out again. Here is a picture of the swag Spikes was rocking on Sunday:
It takes a confident man to step in front of the camera wearing that bad boy. For Spikes, there was really no other option. It’s his lucky suit.
“Brought the lucky suit out again!” Spikes wrote on Twitter Sunday morning. He also responded “only for championship games” when a fan told him they remembered it from his Florida days.
New England’s defense is hoping the pink suit holds some magical powers.

TweetIt's a fact, New England Patriots QB Tom Brady is a soft cry baby who is over protected by NFL refs.
He goes by many names, "The Golden Boy", "Tom Terrific", I call him "Mr. Perfect" cause in the eyes of NFL referees he cannot do any wrong and cannot be touched. Just looking at Brady the wrong way may get a player flagged.

Rob Gronkowski has become a living fairy tale over the past five months. A second year tight end out of the University of Arizona, he had a very good rookie season.

Then this year, he put those numbers to shame. 90 catches, 1,327 yards (all-time NFL record), 17 touchdown receptions (all-time NFL record), one rushing touchdown...

'Sticky' gloves have grip on receivers
If the Super Bowl comes down to a key catch by Rob Gronkowski of the Patriots, say, or Victor Cruz of the Giants, they'll have more than merely their hands to thank.
SI may have put Giant jinx on Pats
Advantage, Giants. And it's all thanks to one photogenic shot of Tom Brady. The Patriots’ star QB appears on the cover of the Jan. 25 issue of Sports Illustrated, which hits newsstands today. It’s hardly Brady’s first go-round as coverboy he’s been on 15 SI fronts but if you’re a superstitious Pats fan, the timing couldn't be any worse.
