Quite a shocker eh? Brady saves his worst game of the year - maybe as a pro period - for a game against a 2-and-eleven team that should have been a laugher. One of the things I have really admired about the Pats over the last several years is that they never lost to teams they were supposed to beat, i.e. last weeks' Dolphins. This in stark contrast to teams like Minnesota, New Orleans, Denver, and even Indy to some extent. Will be interesting to see how they rebound against NY today.

However, their season just went out with TO. Oh they'll beat the Rams and whomever they play next week, but the playoffs are another matter.You gotta love McNabb's mother on those commercials handing out the food for the team....... and getting the Gatorade treatment in the end!
That is BEAUTIFUL.

There are always so many factors to consider that affect the outcome of a game. Its just the nature of sports. Homefield is at least somewhat of known factor. Throughout sports roughly 60% of games are won by the home team. But that means 40% are won by visitors. Beyond that what else is there to consider. Past performance? Weather for outdoor stadiums? Talent? That's kind of a variable. How about how each player spent Christmas? What if some important player had a huge blowup with family yesterday? Maybe Brady was having trouble buying gifts and that threw him off last Monday...hehe.

The Ravens will win by 13.

I can't believe how this one man, Big Ben, has affected me. My husband is the football fan. But one Sunday I saw this kid throw one pass after another and I was HOOKED. Now, I know more about this team than my husband.
What is is about Roethlisberger?
To: airborne
Great news!!! Any word on Staley?
To: Petronski
RIP...I think he was one of the good ones. It's weird having celebs die who are just a bit younger then you are these days.

Word on the street is that the Steelers' locker room ain't the happy place it should be at this point. Some of the veterans seem to think Big Ben is getting a little too big for his britches.You talking to "Jeb The Sweet-Faced Bum" down on Penn Avenue again?
I think them there Stillers are as happy as can be, seeing that I was down there yesterday with 'da boys. The only thing that p.o.'s them is that Myron still hasn't gotten his playoff voice back yet since his fall!
Don't get me wrong though, this is pro football, and all the players on the field are professionals, and the outcome of the game is far from decided.
*******
But there is absolutely no Steeler veteran discontent
..... that any of the good old boys wish, this Sunday, to vent!

I didn't say Burress would start.... I said that he is suppose to play.
Now that 'Meet The Depressed' is completed and Russert is finished, I'll turn on all the Steeler pre-game radio shows and see what's the latest scoop for younz!
By the way, the Jets may just be tough again this day......... do us another favor!

It's a 1:00 p.m. game.Yeah. I have to leave at 3:30. We watch the pre-game skate and hang out with friends. They have the game on the big screen till warm ups, then it's on closed circuit in the concourse.
I'm a serious hockey nut!

It's tough to believe the kid is too big for his britches. It ain't braggin' if he can do it. It's also tough to believe there could be much resentment for 13 and 1.LOL. I agree.
see post 55.
