This Is The End

Wait-What? There's a Super Bowl tomorrow? And the Patriots aren't in it?

Is this some kind of crazy dream? Somebody, please, pinch me.

Be gentle, though. I have a really low pain threshold.

What We Deserve

Back in the day – way back in the day – a philosopher named Joseph de Maistre said, "Every nation gets the government it deserves."

That's why I believe Donald J. Trump will be the next President of the United States.

My Boys

Well, that sucked.

As badly as they played in the first half - and let's give the Broncos some credit for that - they made a game of it and nearly sent the game into overtime. They overcame their share of adversity this year (and then some) and still made it to the conference championship Game. In the end, the patchwork offensive line just wasn't able to hold up and they fell one play short. 

To paraphrase Cole Younger in "The Long Riders," they played a rough game. They lost. No Super Bowl this year. No awkward moment on the championship stage with Roger Goodell. I'll miss that, despite the fact it can't happen.

Still, that touchdown pass in the final seconds from Brady to Gronk was a moment. They never gave up. They're still my boys.

Shall I say it? 

We're on to 2016.

Getting Psyched

Five hours till kickoff and I'm a mess. Hold on while I go get the 81mg aspirin. Just in case.

It is too early to start drinking, isn't it?

Do I Hate Peyton Manning?

Do I hate Peyton Manning?

Well… Yes. I do hate Peyton Manning.

Happy Birthday, Deflategate

Roger Goodell's deformed baby, more commonly known as Deflategate, is one-year old today. Happy Birthday!

A Good Sunday in January

The sun is out. The driveway is plowed. I do need to clean out the clogged filter in our washing machine but not even that can harsh my buzz today. The Patriots are heading to the AFC Championship Game.
