Thursday Morning Third Down Back

The Patriots beat the Seahawks 28 - 24 on February 1st, 2015 to win their 4th NFL Championship. It was one of the best Super Bowls you'll ever see. One last thought: Brady was straight fire in the 4th quarter.   13 of 15 for 2 TDs (and 8 of 8 on the last drive).  Against the #1 defense in football. If Seattle simply runs the ball at the 1, instead we're talking about how Brady just couldn't win the big game in the second half of his career. 4 - 2 in the Super Bowl sounds much much better than 3 - 3. So... Thank you, Malcolm Butler. Amazing.

The Patriots play their first regular season game at LP Field against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday September 9th at 1:00 PM. So... Um... Yeah.  Let's not get too hung up on how last season ended... It's a new year.  Like Coach Belichick says... We're focusing on next week.  We're moving on. It's also an election year.  Republican or Democrat...  Liberal or Conservative...  Let's not lose sight of the one thing that unites us all...  That the Jets are horrible. Gronk seems to be enjoying the benefits of being famous. Let's dive right in! The Patriots signed both Gronkowski AND Hernandez to long term deals ( ed. note - phew ) in the off-season.   They also added extra Tight Ends Jake Ballard, Daniel Fells, Michael Hoomanawanui and Visanthe Shiancoe. At this rate, we'll soon be fielding the NFL's first ALL TIGHT END OFFENSE!  (It's the logical next step in the evolution of the game...) Josh McDaniels - Welcome back!  You...

"So Tom... We need to ask if you're OK with something a little unusual for this photo shoot.." "I'll do it!" "Don't you want to wait to hear what it is?" "Whatever it is, I'll do it!"
