The Pats are gettin it done on the front line. Execution to a tee. And the new QB looks likes a young Brady.

The blocking on set play returns is precise from special teams and... well, I am goin to bed. Belichick looks like he's done another great job in staffing and recruiting. Of course, we'll see when the season really begins.

I gave up US football years ago. I blame my defction wholly on television which resulted in the following:

1) Too much money in the game resulted in
2) Too many teams resulting in
3) A dilution of talent and
4) Free agency and
5) Too many divisions resulting in
6) Few natural rivalries.
7) The season is too long by 50% and
8) The game takes too long because of TV timeouts on top of team timeouts and
9) Machines make decisions which ought be made on the field by human beings, even with their fallibilty, and finally
10) Uniforms and cages make individual players unrecognizable...I'm almost convinced the pads cover up robots.
As a consequence I watch no NFL and few (only UClA...talk about suffering) college games.

And don't even get me started on Basketball which is a joke the way it is played these days.

What? Where did my post go? I posted around 5AM on the 20th.

Welker is one of my favs. He makes things happen. No flash, no mouth, just a hard worker. I didn't see the game but read that he caught three on the first drive. And that his knee "looked good". Hope it stays that way.

Vikings and Niners tonight.

Appears it has! The guy is amazing. Catch, deke, block...

Double O's in the locker room for the Hail Mary? What good is that kinda talent if they AND the coaching staff don't know anything about time management? Can you believe that? Millions of dollars for stupidity? If I was the owner, someone would be getting a talk-to! Unreal! Bengals? Cinncinati Housecats (I changed my first choice) is more like it. Gee whiz.

I am still waiting for my Brady Ball, Dan.

BUT... you might not want to send me same as I lucked in on five of six picks yesterday in the Atlantic Loto Proline and if KC loses by 4 points or more tonight, my $2 pays $23.50. Big bucks eh? Soooo. I WILL root for KC, but if they lose, I will be able to bet $5 next week. >;-)

Hmmmm... you can get any player's autog? Let me think on that for... Favre.... on a football... "Great catch! Brett Favre." No "Gary." Just "Great catch! Brett Favre."

Now, how do I set up a PayPal account? Of course, I would take a certified cheque from John Madden.

As seems to be usual through the US this early-season, no one is talking about the champion Saints. Good! Maybe our guys can "sneak up" on the opposition asgain this year.

Now, that was a thing of Brady/Moss beauty. Perfect pass, perfect one handed catch. If guest can't appreciate that, guest has no idea what Yankee football is all about. The best contact sport in the world, bar none.

And, as I have said MANY times... I loves me football, rugby, footy, tennis, squash (the ultimate physical sport), cricket... Yankee football is the best spectator sport.
