Going Deep

I just saw Jaws slot Brady as the 3rd best QB in the NFL on ESPN. I’m good with it. I’m tired of the Manning vs. Brady debate and Aaron Rodgers is younger, thinner and blonder. Anyway, the highlights avoided any mention of Hernandez, of course. We saw a Gronkowski catch (yes!) and that sweet go route by Vereen against the Texans in the playoffs but it was Brandon Lloyd who was the surprising star of the highlight real, making a diving catch for a TD and loping wide open into the end zone on play action. Watching some of the catches Lloyd made in 2012 I couldn’t help wondering, what is the deal with Brandon Lloyd?

Keeping the Faith

How about them Red Sox? In the wake of one the worst weeks in Boston sports history we are left with little that’s good other than the team everyone thought would finish in the basement of the AL East with the best record in all of the American League as we head into July and the All Star break. The Bruins fell short in game six and watched the Blackhawks hoist the cup on the TD Garden ice. I was one of those who thought the Celtics should’ve blown things up last year but it was still shocking to see Pierce and KG sent to the Brooklyn Nets for spare parts. All of that would’ve been bad enough and yet it wasn’t as we watched Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez arrested for murder.

There’s a silver lining here somewhere, isn’t there?

Trust Me

It’s hard for me to see Edward Snowden as a hero. I don’t remember Daniel Ellsberg making a run for it. I understand Henry David Thoreau spent a night in jail for his beliefs. If Edward Snowden believes he’s done the right thing, why run away from it?

But Tell Me, How Do You Really Feel?

The Patriots signing Tim Tebow was an act of desperate arrogance. Or was it arrogant desperation?

In case you forgot (yeah, that’s right) haters gonna hate.

I think it’s good everyone has decided to take a wait and see approach.

I’m glad everyone is willing to give a future HOF coach the benefit of the doubt.

And they said there would be a media circus.
