Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 9

The New England Patriots play Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers at Gillette Stadium on Sunday November 4th at 8:20 PM.

Another night time game?  Oh boy.  I'm going to need to take a late afternoon pre-game nap after my early afternoon nap.


Our lead running back last week was...  Cordarrelle Patterson?  Is that right?


Hat tip to the 2018 World Series Champion Red Sox.  I'm still available for more World Series talk if anyone wants to continue talking about it before we put baseball away for the winter.

Rodgers Power Rankings:

1) and Hammerstein

2) Aaron

3) Bill

4) Nile

5) Paul


Here are three items to think about about this weekend as you stumble around in a candy induced brain fog:

1) Devin McCourty - McCourty was fast on that interception return.  How fast?  Really fast!

2) Tom Brady - Here's another look at that Brady block vs Lorenzo Alexander  No Tom!  Don't do it!  Life is still worth living. 

3) Trey Flowers - Flowers might be the best player on defense this year.  #98 was all over the place last week. 


Recipe of the Week

Black beans and rice

It can't all be cookies and pie, Folks.

I use chicken broth rather than vegetable broth.  I also like to throw in a chopped up pepper and some curry to this recipe.  Spicy!


My prediction: Pats 7, Packers 47

Fake Bill's Movie Corner

A little classic Spielberg for this weeks' movie corner.  Other than Sunday game film, is anything more rewatchable than old Spielberg movies?

If I understand this film correctly, Close Encounters of the Third Kind is about Richard Dreyfuss being so torn between the two hot blondes in his life that he can't make up his mind and chooses to leave Earth on an alien spaceship.

C'mon People.  We're talking about Teri Garr and Melinda Dillon in their prime here, OK?  Look, this should really be a no-brainer.

He's already got a job that requires leaving the house at all hours of the night and spending time on the road.  If ever a situation called for setting up multiple franchise families in different locations, this was it.

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 ...
