Three Things to Watch This Week - Super Bowl LII

The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play Carson Wentz Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Sunday February 4th at 6:30 PM.

One way or another, this feels like this might be the last night of the dynasty.  So enjoy it while you can (although I've said that 8 or 12 times before.  We're in uncharted waters here.  So... who the heck knows?)

 I'm cautiously optimistic about our chances on Sunday.  But I really hope both teams have a good time.

Thanks again for coming along for the ride.  It's been an entertaining season.




Lot of Smooth Criminal type leaning action in the AFC Championship Game.

Olivia Power Rankings:

1) (fictional pig)

2) Wilde

3) (Twelfth Night)

4) Voldaren

5) d'Abo

6) Newton-John


Game balls to Trey Flowers, Stephon Gilmore and Danny Amendola for their work in the AFC Championship game victory over Jacksonville.  Great effort!


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

1) Dion Lewis - Lewis has been a little streaky in the playoffs.  I would like to see a little more consistency.  BUT... He did seal the game against the Jags with that long run though.  That was awfully thoughtful of him.

2) Rob Gronkowski - Gronk good?  Head OK?  Gronk play.

3) James White - If we could get a Super Bowl 51 type performance out of White, that would be nice.  I'd be happy with that.


Did Phillip Dorsett have a catch in the AFC Championship game?  Yes!

I love a good flea flicker.  I get irrationally tingly in the 1/2 second of time between when I realize what's happening and when the pass is thrown.  So exciting!


My prediction: Pats 34, Eagles 24

 *****

 This week we have Lord Humungus filling for Fake Bill Belichick.


WELCOME TO THE FROZEN WASTELAND OF MINNESOTA.  I HOPE BY NOW YOU HAVE ALL HAD THE CHANCE TO PURIFY YOURSELVES IN THE WATERS OF LAKE MINNETONKA.  VERY INVIGORATING.

I HEAR THE PATRIOTS OF THE NEW ENGLAND REGION WILL HAVE A NUMBER OF COACHING VACANCIES AFTER THIS SEASON.

I SUBMIT MYSELF AS A CANDIDATE FOR THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR / STRENGTH COACH / DESTRUCTIVE BATTLE SIEGE PLANNER.

I WILL ALSO NOT BE WEARING A SHIRT FOR THE ENTIRITY OF GAME THIS SUNDAY.

(short pause)

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S A DOMED STADIUM?  WHY WOULD A COLD WEATHER TEAM GIVE UP SUCH STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE IN BATTLE?

UGH.  FINE.  I WEAR A SWEATSHIRT.

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...
