Three Things to Watch This Week - Super Bowl LII

The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play Carson Wentz Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Sunday February 4th at 6:30 PM.

One way or another, this feels like this might be the last night of the dynasty.  So enjoy it while you can (although I've said that 8 or 12 times before.  We're in uncharted waters here.  So... who the heck knows?)

 I'm cautiously optimistic about our chances on Sunday.  But I really hope both teams have a good time.

Thanks again for coming along for the ride.  It's been an entertaining season.




Lot of Smooth Criminal type leaning action in the AFC Championship Game.

Olivia Power Rankings:

1) (fictional pig)

2) Wilde

3) (Twelfth Night)

4) Voldaren

5) d'Abo

6) Newton-John


Game balls to Trey Flowers, Stephon Gilmore and Danny Amendola for their work in the AFC Championship game victory over Jacksonville.  Great effort!


Here's three things I'm looking forward to watching Sunday night:

1) Dion Lewis - Lewis has been a little streaky in the playoffs.  I would like to see a little more consistency.  BUT... He did seal the game against the Jags with that long run though.  That was awfully thoughtful of him.

2) Rob Gronkowski - Gronk good?  Head OK?  Gronk play.

3) James White - If we could get a Super Bowl 51 type performance out of White, that would be nice.  I'd be happy with that.


Did Phillip Dorsett have a catch in the AFC Championship game?  Yes!

I love a good flea flicker.  I get irrationally tingly in the 1/2 second of time between when I realize what's happening and when the pass is thrown.  So exciting!


My prediction: Pats 34, Eagles 24

 *****

 This week we have Lord Humungus filling for Fake Bill Belichick.


WELCOME TO THE FROZEN WASTELAND OF MINNESOTA.  I HOPE BY NOW YOU HAVE ALL HAD THE CHANCE TO PURIFY YOURSELVES IN THE WATERS OF LAKE MINNETONKA.  VERY INVIGORATING.

I HEAR THE PATRIOTS OF THE NEW ENGLAND REGION WILL HAVE A NUMBER OF COACHING VACANCIES AFTER THIS SEASON.

I SUBMIT MYSELF AS A CANDIDATE FOR THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR / STRENGTH COACH / DESTRUCTIVE BATTLE SIEGE PLANNER.

I WILL ALSO NOT BE WEARING A SHIRT FOR THE ENTIRITY OF GAME THIS SUNDAY.

(short pause)

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S A DOMED STADIUM?  WHY WOULD A COLD WEATHER TEAM GIVE UP SUCH STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE IN BATTLE?

UGH.  FINE.  I WEAR A SWEATSHIRT.

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 3

The New England Patriots play Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Sunday September 23rd at 8:20 PM. Gordon Power Rankings 1) Cole 2) Flash 3) Kim 4) Levitt 5) Sumner 6) (Sesame Street) 7) Lightfoot 8) Shumway 9) Emily v 10) Hayword 11) the Big Engine 12) Jump 13) Josh (Who knew there were so many Gordons!) Here's three things I'm worried about for Sunday evening: 1) The secondary - Eric Rowe isn't making me forget about Malcolm Butler any time soon.  Assuming the Lions have changed their signals by now . Stafford might be able to throw all over the place on them.  Concerns.  I have them.  2) Tom Brady - TB12 got beat up pretty good last week, didn't he?  There was no rhythm (Did I spell that right?  "Rhythm"?  That doesn't look right.) .  I'd like to see some long sustained drives. 3) Sony Michel - With Jeremy Hill out on injured reserve, the Patriots started to work first round pick Sony...

Five Things to Watch This Week.

By Patty O'Tool The Patriots play their fourth preseason game at home against the New York Giants on Thursday, September 3rd at 7:30 PM Oh man, do I hate the Giants. I still wake up thinking about how close we were to 19 and 0. I don't think I'll ever get over that. Here's five things I'll be watching for on Thursday: 1) Tom Brady. How well does he hold the clipboard on the sideline? Does he hold it with his left hand or his right hand? Will he be in uniform or street clothes? These are the big questions for #12 tonight. 2) Laurence Maroney . OK, kid. I've been apologizing for you for three years now. Show me something. 3) Joey Galloway. I have no emotional attachment to this guy. I could care less if makes the team. He looks like crap out there so far. 4) Linebackers. Bruschi's gone. We're young and fast now. But are we any good ? 5) BenJarvus Green-Ellis. This might be the last time we see him a Patriots uniform. If he gets cut, som...

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 15

The New England Patriots play The Ben and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field on Sunday December 16th at 4:25 PM. Plenty of positive takeaways from last week... well, until the last play (Gronk didn’t want to get in the way of a 69 yard touchdown). Gronk shouldn't have been out there on the last play.  There's no way a gimpy Tannehill was going to chuck one 70 yards.  Harrumph. Powers Power Rankings: 1) Boothe 2) Austin 3) Stephanie 4) Vested in me 5) Bleeding  6) (Irish whiskey) Here are three things I'm feeling good about this week: 1) Josh Gordon - Gordon has been better than expected so far.  Can you imagine the numbers Gordon could have put up if he had been here his whole career (and, well, sober)?  Guh. 2) James White - James White rules. 3) Jacob Hollister - I thought this was going to be Hollister's breakout year...  So far, he has 4 catches for the season.  There's still time! Did Rob Gronkowski play last week...
