Taking joy in the misery of others: Patriots fan

If you spent any portion of last week perusing sports blogs you no doubt ran across the video of a Patriots fanatic named Victor Thompson getting his bald head tattooed to look like a Patriots helmet. One would assume that on Sunday, he wasn't real thrilled with the outcome of the game. One would be right.

"The minute the Giants got that (last second) touchdown I knew it was done ... it killed me," said Thompson.

Are you laughing yet?

The longtime fan grew up in Lowell, Mass., and was determined to support his team and its then-perfect season by making his skull a shrine to its season by transforming it into a replica of Brady's helmet.

Whoops!

He was thinking that once they won he might tattoo the Vince Lombardi Trophy on the top of his head. Not so much now though.

"After the game ended I started (partying) ... I woke up drunk. It was a good thing I had my helmet on," said Thompson with a laugh.

And, of course, he wondered if Tom Brady might have been a distracted by Gisele between the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl.

"Brady was playing with his old lady all week," said Thompson as he slumped in a chair and recalled the game.

So why did he do such a thing anyway? The reason would make David Puddy proud.

"I did it for myself and for the season. I am just supporting my team," said Thompson.

To complete the *ahem* look Thompson is planning to get his entire head tattooed silver like the real helmet. He also wants Brady to sign his skull with a tattoo gun to make it official. I wouldn't hold your breath on that one, Vic.
