If you thought ex-Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz would let retirement diminish his loyalty to Boston sports, he proved that wrong on Super Bowl Sunday.

Unlike some Patriots supporters, Ortiz didn’t lose faith that Tom Brady, Bill Belichick & Co. had another wild Super Bowl win in them. With the Pats comeback in the works, he posted this video to Instagram, autographed Patriots helmet and all, seemingly taking a shot at Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank going down to the sidelines before the game was over.

(Warning: There’s a big ol’ curse word in this vid; but it’s a familiar one if you know Papi’s greatest hits).

Yeeeeeaaa???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? let's go pats. Don't you ever go on the field before the end of the game.. That's bad luck

They’re both accustomed to winning. The Super Bowl win gives Brady five championship rings since 2002, which is a couple more than Big Papi, who has three dating back to 2004. Put ’em together, though, and that’s quite a run for Boston sports in the past 15 years.
