Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 7

The first place New England Patriots play Ben Roethlisberger  Landry Jones (who?) and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field on Sunday October 23rd at 4:25 PM.

I'm looking forward to watching the game Sunday afternoon with my sons Jon and Lester.

What are we getting for takeout later?

Spice Power Rankings:

1) Coffee

2) Ginger

3) Pumpkin

4) Sugar and

5) Old

Here's three things I'm looking forward to watching on Sunday:

1) Stephen Gostkowski - Everything OK, Stephen Gostkowski?  Something you want to tell us about?  We're worried about you.

2) Dont'a Hightower - Congratulations to Dont'a Hightower for being named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week.  He can be absolute monster at times.  That safety last week was huge.  Huge, I tell you.  Total game changer.

3) No third thing this week.  Go to your room and think about what you've done.


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?  Nope.  Sad trombone.

My prediction: Pats 27, Steelers 17

*****
This year, we're going to have regular contributions from Fake Bill Belichick for your reading pleasure.

Lotta people asking me about the tablet thing this week.  Not the tablets that Lawrence Taylor used to keep in his locker before games.  The computer kind.

I use it to browser the web and check emails and what have you.

I can get the Netflix on it.  That much I can figure out.

Can I use it to read books?  I can!  Boom.  Watch this.  "Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Civilization" right there at my finger tips.  See that?  Took 30 seconds to download the whole thing.  Amazing.

Coach Patricia even got me to play Age of Empires with him on the plane with it one time.

But I click on ONE pop up ad about hot older women in my area looking to meet up with me, and the thing just freezes up on me.  Useless.

What is that?

Not acceptable, people.

Three Things to Watch This Week - Super Bowl LX

A cold New England February morning. The drive up ATM refuses to accept my cash deposit. I park my car and walk inside to see the teller. It is nice and warm inside. The Teller gives me a nod to come forward. Me: I'd like to make a deposit. Also, why are you wearing a Jets jersey? Teller: It's a Sam Darnold Jersey. I'm not a Seahawks fan. But I don't want to see the Patriots win another one. Me: Ahhh. Well, I guess being a Jets fan is its own punishment. (We both laugh. I walk away with my head held high.) Next Customer Who Didn't Hear our Conversation: Why are you wearing a Jets jersey? ***** crock pot teriyaki wings 3 pounds chicken wings 1 large onion, chopped 1 c brown sugar 1 c soy sauce 1/4 c cooking sherry 2 t ginger 2 cloves garlic - rinse and pat dry wings - broil wings 20 minutes on broiler pan (10 minutes per side) - transfer wings to crock pot - combine ingredients, pour over wings - cover and cook 2 - 3 hours on high (or 5 - 6 hours on low) Enjoy!

Five Things to Watch This Week - Week 14

The Patriots play their thirteenth regular season game at home (!) against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday December 13th at 1:00 PM at Gillette Stadium. Oh man...  I picked a hell of a year to start a Patriots blog... I feel like I'm chronicling the Fall of the Roman Empire. The offense looks stale.  The defense went from "young and fast" to "inexperienced". And a big part of the problem is... (gulp)... Brady.  He looks too predictable out there at times.  Welker is making him better at this point. Here's what I think is going on:   - Some of the creativity is gone from the offense.  Bill O'Brien is no Josh McDaniels   - Nobody is stepping up after Welker and Moss.  Sam Aiken is nice special teamer / 4th or 5th receiver, but they could actually use a Gaffney or a Stallworth.   - Brady has got a baby on the way (UPDATE - he just had a boy).  Don't laugh.  He looked like crap last time he had a kid coming.  (To...

Three Things to Watch This Week - AFC Championship Game

The New England Patriots play Bo Nix Jarrett Stidham and the Denver Broncos in the Tom Brady Memorial AFC Championship Game at Empower Field at Mile High Sunday January 25th at 3:00 PM. Big hugs! To say the Patriots have exceeded expectations so far this season is an enormous understatement. As recently as a year ago I remember wondering if they'd ever host a home playoff game again. Having said that, now that you're this close and playing the other team's backup quarterback in the AFC Championship Game, go out and get it. Also, Mike Vrabel now the longest tenured coach in the AFC East. I kid you not. Odyssey Power Rankings: 1) 2001: A Space _____ 2) The _____ (Homer) 3) Honda  _____ Here are three things I'm a little concerned about this week: 1) Drake Maye - He's been fantastic this season. A+. We couldn't have asked for more in his second year. A pleasure just to watch. Having said that, please hold on to that football, Drake Maye 2) Playing in Denver - tr...
