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 - 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 ...

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 1

The first place New England Patriots play the Oakland   Los Angeles   Oakland  Las Vegas Raiders at Gillette on Sunday September 7th at 1:00 PM. Patriot first round pick tackle Will Campbell. Douglas Power Rankings: 1) Adams 2) DeMario 3) Michael  4) The Lincoln–Douglas debates 5) Illeana  After back to back 4 - 13 seasons, you are allowed to feel a little skeptical about this team. What do we, as Patriots fans, have to look forward to in 2025? Returning:  Executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf is somehow still here. Last year, the two wide receivers he drafted in 2024 combined for 13 catches. And one of them is no longer with the team. I'm against it. Coach Mike Vrabel. His career record as a coach is 56–48. This was seen as a significant upgrade over what we had in place. Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels. He's back! Again! Not returning: Coach Jerod Mayo. It was both a bad situation AND he didn't do a great job with it. That's ba...
