Can't Wrap My Brain Around This

So, Gronk wouldn't be ready to go if the Super Bowl was this Sunday.

Neither would I.

Goating Around

I love small data samples. Let's take Tom Brady's 4th quarter in the AFC Championship Game.

9 of 12 for 138 yards and 2 TDs. Against the best pass defense in the NFL. Wait, what? I've seen this movie before, haven't I?

The Right Thumb of God

So, yeah. I'm going to put a positive spin on the Tom Brady's Thumb narrative. Shocking, I know. And here goes...

We'll see Tom Brady this Sunday and he'll be doing Tom Brady things.

The Lion in Winter

That Jimmy Garoppolo trade didn't look like such a big deal Saturday night.

What? Me Worry?

Gronk is healthy. Tommy is pissed. The defense is playing rope-a-dope with opposing offenses like Ali in his prime. This Saturday night they'll be playing a team that has no business being there.

That's what has me worried.

Once upon a time, that team that had no business being there was the New England Patriots.

Everything Ends

I find it interesting that the Seth Wickersham's Patriots expose was dropped on a Friday by ESPN. Friday is the traditional "news dump" day, when stories the publisher hopes will go away are released. It's almost like ESPN didn't really want to talk about it themselves.
