STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good Morning. I’m Steve Inskeep with sympathy for Burke O’Connell. Last week, he got a tattoo celebrating the New England Patriots’ victory in Super Bowl 50, a sign of confidence because the game has yet to take place. Soon after he got the tattoo, the Patriots lost a playoff game. They will not even play in Super Bowl 50. Mr. O’Connell is philosophical.
