If You Need A Reason

Their offensive line is in shambles, their most dynamic playmaker is now on Injured Reserve and their best defensive player is sick and unable to practice. I guess that explains why the Patriots are only 7-point favorites in their road game against the Giants.

That and Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Chandler Jones, Dont'a Hightower, Julian Edelman, Devin McCourty, Stephen Gostkowski, Rob Ninkovich…

Better Than You

Is there anyone on this planet not named Roger Goodell who still thinks Tom Brady needed to deflate footballs to gain a competitive advantage?

Oh, you still think he did "something?"

Yeah, he did. He played football better than you.

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.

How do you know Roger Goodell is lying?

His lips move.
