It always seems like the strangest things happen when the New England Patriots play on Monday Night Football. They can range from harmless and hilarious to embarrassing or historically tragic. No matter what the outcome, there's a Twilight Zone-esque feeling about the Monday games that always makes me nervous.

Here's a nice lighthearted, yet still NSFW expletive from Jaws . This might be one of the funniest bloopers because it's so natural sounding that it's hardly offensive. Maybe that's just because I'm a crude potty-mouth that needs to chew on Palmolive.

I was 7 years old when this historic tragedy was announced(I was asleep) and was still too young to have any clue how devastated I should have been. Everyone I know (over the age of 45) learned of John Lennon's murder from Howard Cosell that night.

Even non-historic broadcasts of the Pats on MNF have strange occurrences. Skip to 4:27 to hear the late Alex Karras sing a New York Jets fight song written by then Jets Coach Lou Holtz. It just makes the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up.

Not convinced yet? Even the town of Foxborough knows that something is cosmically cursed when it comes to MNF and The New England Patriots. This link will tell you everything you need to know about their successful 12-year ban on the weirdness. (OK, it was really because thousands were drunk and rioting but that totally counts.)

So my friends, the answer is simple, the best way to avoid much of this strange weirdness is to not WATCH the game, but LISTEN to all the action tonight, right here on 102-1 and 105-3 The Shark. Patriots Preview starts at 5:30, four leaf clovers, rabbit's feet and/or exorcists are all optional.
