THEY DID IT!

The New England Patriots have become the first team to go 16-0, undefeated, in the regular NFL season!  It wasn’t easy, nor was it pretty, but they did it!  Way to go, guys!

Giving credit to the Giants, they did bring their “A” game; however, it seems that any team that has brought their “A” game against the Patriots this year, has not been able to overcome the Patriots’ “B” game.  And when the Pats do bring THEIR “A” game, that’s a blow out.  It’s the team that wins by a marginal victory that is the BEST team.

This team just gets better and better with time.  They never cease to amaze me.  Just when you think they’re down for the count–BOOM!  They’re back.

CONGRATULATIONS NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS!  Here’s to a great playoff series and the Super Bowl! 

The New England Patriots–will they do it?

You know something huge is going on when the government steps in.  That’s what happened this week when many senators approached the NFL requesting that they broadcast the Patriots vs. Giants game on channels other than NFL Network.  Only about 40% of households get NFL Network; therefore, a great majority of people would not be able to see this game.  The NFL complied.

So, if you aren’t a football fan, too bad.  Because all the major networks will be showing this game on Saturday night!  It’s the next biggest thing to the Presidential address. 

It’s been 35 years since an NFL team went undefeated.  The Dolphins did it in 1972.  But what nobody seems to think about is that the Patriots have already beat their record.  The Dolphins went undefeated in a regular season in 1972, having played only 14 games.  That’s how long the season was back then.  The season is now 16 games.  The Patriots have already won 15 games.  Technically, that makes the record already broken.

I do believe these guys will do it.  They are just a magical team.  They make it happen.  Opposing teams can issue “guarantees” or refer to Tom and the gang as “Jesus and the 12 Apostles” (but he only has 10 offensive linemen), but it doesn’t matter.  These other teams will never learn.  You piss off Tom Brady and you end up paying.  Simple as that. 

Merry Christmas

With this being the first post of my new blog, I just want to say “Merry Christmas” and I look forward to sharing my thoughts about life and other things on here in 2008!
