Ed Reed isn’t a Belieber.
Reed originally penciled in the New England Patriots for a win over the San Diego Chargers, but he has since changed course. The longtime safety wonders whether partying with Justin Bieber this week could doom New England’s chances at Qualcomm Stadium.
Reed obviously was joking. In fact, he didn’t even seem 100 percent sold on picking the Chargers while breaking down Sunday’s matchup with Boomer Esiason and Michael Irvin earlier this week on Showtime’s “Inside the NFL.” Bieber hanging out with Rob Gronkowski and Co. certainly doesn’t bode well for the Patriots, though. The last three teams Bieber visited all lost shortly after his hangout.
“Though Belichick and that defense and (Tom) Brady and them, I know they’re mad in San Diego right now (following a loss to the Green Bay Packers), the last team to party or do anything like that with Justin Bieber, they lost,” Reed said, laughing.
The Patriots certainly won’t be giggling if the Bieber curse holds true.
