I would love it if the prime time games went away. I’m too old to stay up to midnight watching regular season games.

You could even leave out all the ethical concerns and lose interest in football because it’s so relentlessly over-saturated. There’s too much on too many channels and it’s overwhelming, so even if you have an interest in the game you soon get sick of the overload.

Not for me to dispute your memories, but as a Pats fan I always took that as mocking Mitchell. The players themselves said so after the game.

That is a seriously great take, honest to God. Thanks for it, that’s really damn cool. Sounds like as ideal a day as anyone could hope for.

Eh, while I fully expect Bruschi and the Pats to have mocked away anyway, Freddie Mitchell talked enormous piles of shit leading up to that Super Bowl (like, more shit than that guy ate) and then didn’t show up for the actual game, so I’m guessing Tedy may well have been looking for an opportunity to mock.

Now they should suspend Ordway for that awful dye-job in that pic. Yeeeesh.

Thanks man. I sincerely appreciate that. Enjoy that win, it’s incredibly well-deserved.

Eh, it was early in the game, I didn’t have a problem with going for the FG there. It worked out lousy because Cardona gave a rare terrible snap back, but the decision was alright.

That’s Jordan Richards, who was the worst player on the field Sunday night.

Well BB’s expression sure matched mine at the time. :( Belichick likely looked so incredulous because they had the ball in Brady’s hands with 2 mins to go and down 5, which I as a fan felt pretty good about.

If you have access to Boston Globe past articles, either via Westlaw or another source, you have to check out Borges’ column from 11/22/2001. This was written just after Brady had been named started for the reason of the season. It’s an all time classic in utter lunacy.

Borges was a friend and personal confidant of Bledsoe. When Bledsoe remained benched in 2001 after he recovered from his injury, Borges went BANANAS in print and lost all sanity going forward. Later Borges claimed Bledsoe had consulted with him to ask what he should do about getting his job back.

Katz was wearing a neckbrace too.

Gee, it’s shocking that a sportswriter who’s already once been fired for plagiarism and has a long history of writing insane things might not have the strictest standards when it comes to vetting his sources.

I mean, there’s something to be said that he went 5-0 with a team that was utter shit before he got there. I think that does mean something positive for him. But damn, I look at his stats and he threw 7 TDs and 5 INTs and I think, “They really better hope he’s not a right handed Scott Mitchell.” He’s probably not, but…

Jimmy G. has 272 career attempts and just got $74 million guaranteed.

Extreme wishcasting.

Dammit, yours is better. DAMMIT
