Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 10

 The 5 - 4 New England Patriots play Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns at Gillette Stadium on Sunday November 14th at 1:00 PM.

Hold on to that ball, Rhamondre Stevenson!


I have no complaints after last week. Solid road win. Feels good to be over .500 again.

Game ball to Jamie Collins. Jamie Collins' interception was insane. (Gah! Now he's on IR.)

Subtle nod to Brandon Bolden. I'm not the world's biggest Brandon Bolden fan, but I'll begrudgingly admit he's been relatively good the last few weeks. Hopefully we'll get some production from the running backs group back this week. It looks like Damien Harris is going to be out. I don't know who is still healthy.

Baker Power Rankings:

1) Joe Don

2) Street

3) Kenny

4) Danielle Pana-

5) Mayfield


Here are three guys on the offensive line I'll be watching this week:

1) Trent Brown - Welcome back, Trent Brown. If he can stay healthy, he's a game changer.

2) David Andrews - The offensive line hasn't been great this year, but Andrews has been solid in the middle.

3)  Isaiah Wynn - Right tackle Isaiah Wynn seems to grade out fairly high. He seems somewhat inconsistent to my untrained eye.


Did J.C. Jackson have an interception last week?

Two! Returning one of them for a touchdown.

His asking price keeps going up by the week.


Cookie of the Week


Toasted oatmeal coconut walnut chocolate chip cookies.

I thought these up while I was out for a run. I spend a lot of time thinking about food while I'm running.

Take 1.5 C oatmeal and roast it on a cookie sheet for 15 minutes at 350. Then let that cool and grind it in a food processor. From there it's a basic oatmeal cookie recipe. Add 1/2 cup of coconut, 1/2 cup walnuts.


Great British Jam of the Week

The Joy Formidable - Whirring 


Duncan's Pick of the Week.

With Nick Chubb out this week, Duncan likes the Patriots in their home gray uniforms 24 - 21.


How good does Pat feel about this team making the playoffs this year?

This week we have the absolutely jacked Fake Troy Brown reporting from deep within the World Headquarters of the Patriot Empire

Hello Citizens of Patriot Nation.

Not naming any names, BUT... This is what I'm hearing.

On the issue of questionable flatulence in Foxboro -  I assure you the suspicious farts heard during my media session last week were NOT live farts. I have the people on my staff doing the research, but we have reason to believe the Fart Machine was put there by a certain coach's son.

Next time we'll discuss the fact that, while the Earth may not be flat, Florida sure is.

Until then, stay vigilant. Get vaccinated. And clear your browser cache.

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...
