Ten Years

"Ten years, man! Ten years!

-      Paul Spericki, "Grosse Pointe Blank"

At 38 years of age, Tom Brady is having one of the best years of his storied career. Recently, he said he'd like to play for 10 more years. Previously, Brady has vowed to play until he sucks. Apparently, Brady doesn't see himself sucking until he's 49.

Rivals

The Jets. I hear "the Jets" and I immediately think of that moment in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" when Indiana Jones looks down into the chamber that holds the Ark of the Covenant and says, "Snakes. Why does it always have to be… Snakes."

When all the pigskin pundits and bobbleheads were saying it's going to be the Dolphins or maybe even the Bills I should've known... 

It's always the Jets.

Long Day's Pigskin Journey

Is there more to this game than the other fifteen? It doesn't count for two wins, does it?

Indiana Wants Me

I'm thinking 73-0 is probably too much to ask for (though you never know unless you ask, am I right?).

A 60-burger? If the Patriots could score a TD on 9 possessions, that would be 63 points. At some point the Colts would have to start running the ball and the clock to keep the game from getting out of control.

Hey, seriously, I'd be fine with 45-7.

This Is Not A Gambling Site

How do you know Roger Goodell is lying?

His lips move.

Something To Look Forward To

Not for nothing but I hope the Patriots run the ball against the Cowboys. I hope they come out with three tight ends and guard Shaq Mason lined up as a fullback in front of LeGarrette Blount. I hope they run the ball at Greg Hardy, over Greg Hardy, through Greg Hardy. I hope they go no huddle so Hardy can't sub out. Brady finds him and audibles to a play that runs right at him. Again. Again. Again. I hope they run him off the field. I want to see him signal to the coaches on the sidelines to take him out. I want to see him fake an injury to stop the pain. I hope he pukes on the sideline. I want to see him shake his head when the coaches ask him to go back in the game.

Maybe that's just me.

Remembrance of Pigskin Things Recently Past

It's a little early in the season for introspection, isn't it?

Hey, it's the Patriots' bye week. That seems a bit early, too.

Quarters

You know the drill. Entertainment purposes only. This is not a gambling site. Life is a series of random, often unsympathetic events we've somehow convinced ourselves are key piece of the master plan of a supreme being. And yet, I do not feel reassured.

Something like that.
