Curran: Breaking down similarities between Pats & Duke

Share

The Duke Blue Devils win the National Championship on Monday night and one of the first thing Tom E. Curran sees on Twitter is, 'first the Patriots win the Super Bowl and now Duke wins the NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament. Will evil's reign ever stop?' 

Are the New England Patriots really in the same boat with the National Champions? Curran took a close look at the comparison. 

"Duke's been Duke since the 70's. The Patriots, they've been the Patriots for a lot less time," said Curran. "They came up from nothing. They were Cinderella before they became a super model. But then I realized that doesn't really matter. Excellence breeds contempt.

"If someone wants to say Christian Laettner reminds them of Tom Brady, I kind of get it a little bit. Even though Brady is far less offensive he is pretty roundly despised despite the fact he's never done a damn thing wrong," he said. "Bruschi is  Paulus. Julian Edelman is Bobby Hurley. Holy crap, it works. I get it. Embrace the hate."
