A little birdie told me there's a game tonite. My boy Brady against the Fins..... Mia has been getting better, will they be the first to take down NE? Cowboy, The Admiral and Aspeck are moving up the ranks. GA is in a solid 3rd while 12vMan and Musky are locking horns at the top.... The games look cut and dried this week. How many upsets will there be? Stay tuned........

Good luck everyone.......

Brady is tired after being called to PA to deflate the missle defense balloon that escaped. Deflated, it touched down successful. I am sure that might effect Brady's performance tonight ... 😀

It's always best to cal on the experts during times of national crisis. Obviously the balloon was over inflated LOL

Best video of the thing was the balloon drifting near an Amish horse and buggy. I'm sure the Amish were shaking theirs heads in disbelief.

They used a bunch of shotguns to deflate it once down. Art was probably there burnin' some shells......:laser::heh:

NE will likely lose a game or two (Jets in NY maybe?), but, man, you just can't pick against them without a spread to cover. The offense is every bit as dangerous as the '07 team. As a fan I hope they get the clunkers out of the way in the regular season.

It's almost not fair how good NE is.

No wonder the NFL is trying to pin this BS deflation on them.

They (announcers) talked about the nfl appeal of the federal appeal of the Brady appeal (did I get that right.) during the game. Seems like total nonsense at this point.

Despite the buildup of the Fins leading up to the game, the fish got squished. I was expecting an improved performance by the Pats, coming off a rough outing against the Jets.

I think the game in Denver might be a loss, otherwise the remaining games look 'do-able'. Maybe the Giants might be trouble, as you may know, the Pats don't have much luck with them in Super Bowls :)

It's unbelievable. Goodell just won't let it die. I don't understand the league's motive beyond his own injured pride. Nor did I understand the initial witch hunt against the best franchise of the FA era with zero evidence. They essentially did the same thing to the Saints a few seasons ago, and look what happened to them. At least Brady knew enough (and had the money) to appeal.

I thought it was interesting when the NFL said Brady would serve a 4 game suspension before the end of the season. And I think that was after the appellate court set a February date to hear the NFL appeal. Does Goodell have a special prosecutor monitoring every breath Brady makes? Don't be surprised!

Goodell is trying to save face and is willing to do whatever it takes to bring down Brady....... Good luck with that Goodell..... He's just looking more foolish as the days go by.....

I'm a fins fan (obviously) and knew NE would win. I still had to show my support in the check box though. I'd do it again too. LOL

One final note from me on that^^ topic is that if anyone can overcome an inexplicable loss of early round draft picks, it's Belichick. But that punishment was still insane.

And mine is a pick 'em. Isn't that the name of the game we're playing? ;)
