Pigskin Dreams of Brave Ulysses

The Patriots face a "must win" game in Week 2 with a decimated offensive line. 

Pigskin Hope

Yes, my pigskin heroes lost. And yes, they lost in the way I feared they would lose; with a stout defense keeping it close, betrayed in the end by an offense that just isn't good enough. 

And yet, I'm feeling pretty good this fine New England morning, even before that first cup of coffee hits.

Imminent Pigskins

Even the most optimistic of Pats fans are thinking, 9-8-0, baby! It's possible. Back in the playoffs! No, really. It could happen. Definitely doable. Hello? Is this on? Let's go! 

The Big Pet Store

“I’m telling you man, planet Earth is just one big pet store for the Greys.”

“You’re an idiot, Jimmy,” Eric said, with a little too much force. 

“Doesn’t make me wrong,” Jimmy said, oblivious to Eric’s tone.

Practically Pigskins

Wrong again.

Pigskin Cuts and Bruises

Godspeed, Nick Folk Hero!

The trade of Folk - the one constant positive for New England's offense over the last three years - was a bit of a surprise, but then came cutdown day and suddenly everyone was wondering if Bill Belichick can still count to 3.

Interesting Pigskin Times

The preseason is over and I still don't know what I don't know.

You'd think I'd be used to it by now. 

I do know that "May you live in interesting times" is actually a curse, not a blessing. And these are interesting pigskin times.

Questions? Yes, I have so many questions…
