Thoughts After the Pats are 8-0

  • It’s still an hour to go, but congratulations Red Sox. Makes me wish I liked baseball!
  • The NFL needs a mercy rule. That fourth quarter was barely fun to watch. I watched anyhow of course.
  • Forget the Super Bowl, the real Super Bowl is next week. I’ve been drooling for Pats Colts, the only games that matter.
  • Seriously, there’s the Pats and the Colts and a bunch of runner-ups.
  • The NFC is pathetic. The Redskins probably thought they were a pretty good team at 4-2. They were not. They were just another team that isn’t the Pats or Colts.
  • I have a mancrush on Wes Welker. Oh, those blue eyes! And perfect blocks!
  • Maroney is back, Seymour is back. It seems mathematically impossible, but we just keep getting better. Is there an upper limit here?
  • What does it take for teams to defend Vrabel on that same touchdown play we’ve seen again and again? When he’s in on offense, cover him. How hard is that? Looks at his line. 3 sacks, each leading to fumbles, each recovered by the Pats. A touchdown reception. He’s caught 10 passes in his career, and they’ve all been for touchdowns. By the way, he’s a defensive player. I can understand your confusion.
