Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 2

The first place New England Patriots play Ryan Tannehill and the Miami Dolphins at Gillette on Sunday September 18th at 1:00 PM

(A middle of the afternoon game?!  How am I supposed to enjoy a drink during the game if I'm watching my sons Jackie and Bradley Jr.?!)



Pull my finger.


Moss Power Rankings*:

1) Randy

2) Peat

3) Elizabeth

4) Maurice

5) Carrie-Anne

6) Spanish

7) Kate

8) Llewelyn


*fedora tip to Viking Dave


Here's three things I'll probably find offensive on Sunday:

1) Chris Hogan - Oh, hello there, Chris Hogan!  Nice touchdown catch last week!  Welcome aboard.

2) Julian Edelman - Great game last week.  Edelman takes an absolute beating and keeps getting back up.

3) James White - I want to see more James White after last week.  More, dammit, more!

BONUS FOURTH ITEM: Martellus Bennett - Bennett didn't have a huge game numbers-wise (3 catches for 14 yards), but had some fantastic blocks and a most excellent extra effort on a third down conversion.  Can't wait to see him and Gronk on the field at the same time.

FREE AGENT WATCH: Has Malcolm Butler, Jamie Collins or Dont'a Hightower been resigned yet?  Not yet!

Did Malcolm Mitchell have a catch last week?  Yes!  It sure would be nice if the Great Patriots Wide Receiver Drafting Drought was about to come to an end.

Current asking price for Garoppolo:

Five first round picks.

My prediction: Pats 27, Dolphins 17

This week we have Blount Talk with Fake LeGarrette Blount filling in for Fake Bill Belichick.


Should I be more aggressive with my retirement savings allocations?  I'm still relatively young, but I don't have the same comfort level with risk that my financial planner seems to have.
- Matt in Roxbury

I've always been a fan of the slow and steady strategy with your retirement investments.  You've got time... But you also don't want to go backwards.  Baby steps,  you know?


What kind of car would you recommend for a young working professional?  I want something sporty, but I'm also thinking of starting a family in the next few years.
- Anna in Webster

You need to get yourself a Honda Odyssey.  Safe reliable family transportation with an excellent resale value.  And then drive right up the middle.


Our neighbor is offering to sell us their house at a below market deal.  We'd have to move some resources around, but we could probably make it work.  What would you do here?
- Eric in Warwick

I like this idea a lot.

You should buy your neighbor's house.  Then knock down the other house and combine the two yards together.

I can't imagine anything being better than getting two yards at a time.

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 6

The 1 - 4 New England Patriots play C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans at Gillette Stadium on Sunday October 13th at 1:00 PM. They really should stop buttering the ball between plays. That Patriots - Dolphins game last week was one of the worst things I've ever seen. Let's never speak of it again. The Patriots have announced third overall pick Drake Maye as the starting quarterback this week. I feel like it's too soon. But it's not my job on the line. I'll be nice and cozy on the couch with snacks and beverages and a dog that will pick the absolute worst time to decide that he has to go out. Drake Power Rankings: 1) 's Cakes 2) (the duck)  3) (the singer from Canada) 4) Gilded 5) Maye Here are three things that could have been better in week 5: 1) Jacoby Brissett. Thank you for your contributions. I appreciate your effort. I'm not sure how you're still standing. 2) The play calling had me scratching my head on multiple occasions. 3) The whole WR position...

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 15

"Is there any of the good Scotch left?" the Rookie asked. "I wouldn't call it good  Scotch. But no. We finished that weeks ago," the Veteran responded. Outmanned and outgunned, they rode west across New York to the certain slaughter waiting for them at Orchard Park. The streets wide and flat, indifferent to their struggle. "Is the water safe to drink?" "Don't know. Try it and find out." General Mayo lacked the sense of direction his predecessor displayed. If there was dissension in the ranks, it didn't show. But there was also no lust for the battlefield. Going beyond what was required of one's duty. They just didn't have the spirit for it. His predecessor had been deposed because the vibes were off. And now he risked the same fate. "Is there anything to eat?" "There's an empty can of beans. You may lick what's left off the bottom of it if you like." The talent level of recruits was lacking, not up ...
