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 bad math.

New this year: Stefon Diggs. Man, they love signing guys coming off knee injuries. I'd be much more impressed with this signing if it was five years ago. But... maybe?


This season, we're launching the Ask Gronk AI agent. Feel free to send along any questions for Ask Gronk.

"Hey, Ask Gronk - What was it like to play for Coach Belichick?"

There were many great challenges and successes in my time with Coach Belichick and the New England Patriots. Any relationship can be tough to maintain over time. It takes hard work from both parties. Also, speaking of work, join a union if one is available to you. Or look into forming one if not. If workers don't look out for each other, who will? If the workers of the country don't unite now, when will they?

Would you like to learn more?

My prediction: Pats 24, Raiders 19

This week we have Fake Josh McDaniels stopping by for a visit.

Prometheus brought fire to the people. Zeus, the Greek god of like, turning into a bull and sleeping with chicks and stuff, was super pissed about this for some reason. I dunno... maybe he was just having a bad day or something.

To punish Prometheus for his hubris, Zeus chained him to a rock, then had an eagle come down EVERY DAY and eat his liver. Somewhat gnarly. His liver would grow back again each night. Then the eagle would show up again the next day and just go to town on the poor guy, repeating the same cycle in an endless loop of punishment and carnage.

I wonder why that story might be on my mind these days. No reason, I guess.

Until next time... take it easy, Brahs. Don't let them get you down.

JAY MICK DEE OUT.

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...
