The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play Philip Rivers and the San Diego Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium on Sunday October 29th at 1:00 PM.


We get it.  You vape.


Mash Power Rankings:

1) -ed potatoes

2) monster

3) (movie)

4) bill

5) dastardly 


We lost Hightower for the season?  Farts.

With inclement weather in the forecast for Sunday, let's focus on the ground game this week:

1) Dion Lewis - I've never seen anyone cut and change direction as fast as he can.

2) James White - He's been fantastic on third downs.  He's like that third bowl of porridge for this offense.  Juuuuust right.

3) Rex Burkhead - Is this the week Burkhead has his breakout game?  Maybe!


My prediction:  Patriots 27, Chargers 24

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


Arrrgh!  It be me, the Dread Pirate Bill.

The only thing I love more than winning Super Bowls and watching film (and dating your moms) is... CANDY! 

Some people will tell you 65 is too old to be going out for candy on Halloween. But those people are not your friends.

I'd fight a moose barehanded for a Kit Kat.  (Moose - the REAL most deadliest game.)

Have you ever gotten through an extra long film sessions without crushing a king sized bag of peanut M&Ms?

Matty P. keeps a drawer full of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in his office.  I've been known to go on the occasional late night raid.

Brady won't touch sugar.  Who wants to live like that?  He doesn't know what he's missing.

I'm going to have a sugar hangover all next week.  Totally worth it.

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 2

The New England Patriots play Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium on Sunday September 17th at 8:20 PM. Jabrill Peppers gave them a chance. Rough loss in week 1. Despite a horrific first quarter, they were in that game late. And they couldn't close it out. No moral victories. Bloom Power Rankings: 1) In 2) County 3) Bialystock and 4) Rachel 5) Orlando ... 11,997) Chaim Here are three things I wasn't particularly excited about last week: 1) The offense coming up small when the game was on the line. The defense gave them a chance. I'm seeing a pattern here. 2) The continued streak of being unable to win when the other team scores 25 points. 3) Giving away the ball. "We don't want it. You take it!" Did the Patriots score 20 points last week? Just barely. 2010s Jam of the Week The Joy Formidable - Whirring My prediction: Dolphins 34, Patriots 14 ***** This week we have Bill O'Brien, Reluctant Dungeon Master.

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 1

The New England Patriots play Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles at Gillette Stadium on Sunday September 10th at 4:25 PM. With the Dolphins, Bills and even the (gulp)  Jets all trending upward, and the Patriots shopping for offensive linemen at the TJ Maxx close out rack, this could be a very  long season. In five short years, we've gone from "Can we just skip ahead to the AFC Championship Game already?" to "Boy, it sure would be swell to win a playoff game again someday!" Based on what I saw in the preseason, I think we're looking at an above average defense and a below average offense. This is maybe a   6 and 11 team.  I have no idea how I'm going to get through this year. I knew the post-Brady transition was going to be hard... But I just didn't think it would be managed this poorly. As such, we'll be slowly transitioning this little weekly fan newsletter into a support group.  Just a quick reminder of what last season looked like. Gene p

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 5

The New England Patriots play Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints at Gillette Stadium on Sunday October 8th at 1:00 PM. I'd like to thank the Patriots for letting me off the hook early this year. No messing around this time. They are  definitely   not  a playoff team. I'm done talking about Mac Jones. I have nothing nice to say about him. Please don't mention his name to me ever again. "He's good! He just needs better weapons around him!" /throws ball two yards short of wide open receiver Jean-Luc power rankings: 1) Godard 2) Picard If I had to talk myself into it, here are three things I'm feeling kinda sorta OK about this year so far: 1) Some of the rookies have been mostly good, especially Christian Gonzalez.  (And now he's hurt!) 2) Probably going to see a lot more Keion White with Judon going down. 3) Demario Douglas might be good. Just hang on to the football. Did the Patriots score 20 last week? My Brothers and Sisters of Our Lady of the Immac
