Ugh
I guess I cannot complain too much. We’ve had things pretty good in New England for awhile now. You know: fewer confederate flags (future post coming), really good seafood, and a string of championships. So rather than cry about Brady, … Continue reading
But its not all about the team
I join John Saunders as one of the few college football fans who doesn’t necessarily believe college football needs an extended playoff system. I would like to see a four team, two round system, but I don’t believe we need … Continue reading

Football Predictions
I don’t have much time for these this year, but it wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t make some predictions. So here’s a quick couple of lists: AFC San Diego Chargers: The only thing this team lacked last season was … Continue reading

I had two drafts this weekend (I drafted one player while changing a diaper). I am quite happy with both teams, although the second team has a collection of gambles at quaterback. Here’s team one: Rowan’s Raiders Quaterback: McNabb, Leinart … Continue reading
