Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 1

The New England Patriots play Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday September 11th at 1:00 PM.

I like big backs and I cannot lie.

Football is back! I can't recall a time I was less excited about the Patriots. This team doesn't look to be very interesting this year. I smell a 6 - 11 stinker coming on. We might have to get weird. Keep watching this space!

Special recognition to the recently retired James White. My dude was amazing in Super Bowl LI.

James Power Rankings:

1) Webb Space Telescope

2) White

3) Brown

4) -on Irish Whiskey

5) Rick

6) Etta

7) Bond

8) Lily

9) Caan

10) Gandolfini 


Here are three things that I'm trying to get excited about this season:

1) Damien Harris - He's been consistently excellent. Do you know how many touchdowns he ran for last year? 15! Is he gone after this year? In all likelihood!

2) Rhamondre Stevenson - Hopefully ready to take that next big step and handle some of the load. And take over the lead role next year.

3) Whoever emerges as the third back. Ty Montgomery? Pierre Strong Jr.? (great football name, by the way)


90s Jam of the Week

James - Laid


My prediction: Patriots 21, Dolphins 27

This week we have Fake Morrissey giving us a 2022 Patriots season preview.


Panic on the streets of Foxboro

Panic on the streets of Wrentham

I wonder to myself

Will this team make the playoffs again?

The A gaps that you slip down

I wonder to myself

Hopes may rest on the defense. 

But Damien Harris, you're not safe here

Just run behind Trent Brown.

But there's panic on the streets of Foxboro

Mansfield, Plainville, Attleboro

I wonder to myself...

Burn down the playbook

Hang the blessed OC

Because the guy they've got calling the plays

It says nothing to me about my life

Hang the OC, hang the OC, hang the OC

Hang the OC, hang the OC, hang the OC

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...
