Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 15

The New England Patriots play The Ben and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field on Sunday December 16th at 4:25 PM.

Plenty of positive takeaways from last week... well, until the last play (Gronk didn’t want to get in the way of a 69 yard touchdown).

Gronk shouldn't have been out there on the last play.  There's no way a gimpy Tannehill was going to chuck one 70 yards.  Harrumph.

Powers Power Rankings:

1) Boothe

2) Austin

3) Stephanie

4) Vested in me

5) Bleeding 

6) (Irish whiskey)


Here are three things I'm feeling good about this week:

1) Josh Gordon - Gordon has been better than expected so far.  Can you imagine the numbers Gordon could have put up if he had been here his whole career (and, well, sober)?  Guh.

2) James White - James White rules.

3) Jacob Hollister - I thought this was going to be Hollister's breakout year...  So far, he has 4 catches for the season.  There's still time!


Did Rob Gronkowski play last week?  He did!


Recipe of the Week

Gingerbread Cookies 

I could eat a few dozen of these at a time.  And I will!


My prediction: Pats 28, Steelers 31

*****

This week we have Fake Matthew Slater filling for Fake Bill Belichick.

Hey Folks!  Patriots special teams captain Fake Matthew Slater here.

I'm proud accomplishments on the field.  I'm excited about my charity work....  But my real passion is my Tuesday night Caddyshack role playing group.

A bunch of the special teams guys come over to my place.  I'm the Game Master.  I set the rules and the story lines for each week.   You can be Al, Ty, Carl, Danny... even Judge Smails!  (Ebner is usually Lacey.)

Do you try to win the caddy tournament?  Or try to buy Bushwood outright?  It's entirely up to you.

Do you play golf?  Or tennis?  ("You're playing golf and you're going to like it!")

You rolled a two?  Double turds.

And if you like betting on every little interaction, we're looking for a new Lou Loomis.

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 ...
