As I told a friend, I can’t recall the last time I actually rooted for a Boston sports team to lose. But I did yesterday. And then the Pats went on to win – and lose the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft. … What a whacky season. … Am I the only one who thinks that maybe, just maybe, Jerod Mayo was fired partly because he won yesterday? … Am I the only one who thinks the Bills deep-down wanted the Pats to win yesterday so their divisional rival wouldn’t get the No. 1 pick?  … My conspiracy-theory paranoia knows no bounds this morning. … Jerod Mayo shouldn’t have been hired in the first place. But I do feel a little bad for him now that he’s out. He was indeed a nice guy who finished (almost) last, as Dan Shaughnessy notes. … The Herald’s front-page headline: “No Mayo.” Not bad. … Karen Guregian is right: All signs point to Kraft picking Vrabel as head coach. But I’d be happy with Brian Flores too.
