Losing hurts but some people have lower
thresholds of pain than others it seems.

Gronkless in Cincinnati
Rob Gronkowski will be out of the lineup
for the fifth week in a row. Can the Patriots keep winning without him? Not
easily.

No Triumph Without Adversity
The Patriots earned their most impressive
win of the season with their 30-23 win Sunday night in Atlanta but lost Vince
Wilfork for the season to a torn Achilles tendon. Wilfork is a Pro Bowl
defensive tackle and perhaps more importantly a true heart and soul guy. His
loss has already conjured up Richard Seymour’s name. Wilfork’s loss should also
shut the pie holes of all those who were bitching about the $10m in salary cap
the “cheapskate” Patriots had held in reserve. Not that I’m recommending New
England overpay
for Seymour or any other of the available free agents; there’s a good reason
they’re available.

Waiting for the Inevitable
According to the pigskin pundits and
bobbleheads, this is the week the Patriots will finally be exposed as the pigskin pretenders they are.
Truth be told, they seem annoyed by the Patriots 3-0-0 record. Have they grown
weary of waiting for Brady’s skills to diminish? For Belichick to retire? For
the Patriots to finally yield to the inevitabilities of the NFL’s relentless
commitment to parity? I’m not sure it takes a lot of line to plumb the depths
of Tom Jackson’s or Sterling Sharpe’s minds but I really, does anyone know what
those guys are thinking?

Small Epiphanies
We crave meaning. Our brains take in images
through the optic nerve of and upside down world and turns them right-side up. We
will take in the abjectly absurd and neatly rationalize it, creating a
narrative with plot, action and character.
We want to know the ending.
Oh, you won’t tell?
Well, we’re happy to guess.
