The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play The Ben and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Gillette Stadium on Sunday September 8th at 8:20 PM.
That's a lot of banners.

5) Beetle
Here are three things I'll be watching for Sunday night:
1) Special Teams - It's looking like this is going to be a rushing and defense team this season. Expect field position to be a major weapon.
2) Defense - On defense, get the ball back as quickly as possible. So we can punt again.
3) Offense - On offense, put up 7 points, then go three and out the rest of the game. Consider punting on third down if the situation calls for it.
Did Rob Gronkowski have a catch last game?
Yes!
(But probably his last one for a while...)
Based on some of my recent conversations, a lot of people seem to have forgotten about R.E.M. We're going to work on that.
Here's Week 1 of The Buck Stops Here, featuring some of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck's tastiest riffs.
What's the Frequency, Kenneth?
This song is on one of my running playlists. I don't always run to music, but sometimes when I do I find myself mouthing along with the words. ♩ ♪ I couldn’t underSTAAAAAAND ♩ ♪.
I'm sure I look like a crazy person.
My prediction: Pats 24, Steelers 21

The Puntslinger
The man in black fled across the field, and the punter followed.
The field was the apotheosis of all fields, huge, standing to the sky for what looked like eternity in all directions, surrounded by blue seats. With a large fake lighthouse at one end. A tower of light. The Light Tower if you will.
Banners marked the battles of previous wars. An occasional tombstone marked the grave of the fallen AFC East coaches.
Jake Bailey, a fifth round pick out of Stanford, was the last remaining punterslinger from training camp. Legend has it he once punted a ball 84 yards in college. But the world had moved on since then. The world had emptied.
This is his tale.
