I hope the team I follow mostly will do better in the upcoming NFL season.

So August, now that I'm a tax-paying "Upstater", I believe I'm gerrymandered into Pats football fandom.
So what's Coach gunna do? Did he remember to save the receipt for Newton? Can we go full Soviet sports and "arrest" Brady and Gronk for unpaid pah-king tickets and have them work off the debt at the local football club?

Well my friend upstate New York is not part of New England but hey anyone can be a Patriots fan including my cousins kid from Cleveland who goes to school up in Buffalo. Her family are all big cheese heads even though they are from Indiana and her kid is a Patriots fan. Weird huh?


As to what Bill will do that has been the 64 thousand dollar question for the past two decades. The man has always been a sphinx when it comes to his intentions.



There are a lot of Cam Newton haters out there but I think he might still have some life in him yet. Compare his stats before and after his bout with covid and add to that he was stepping into a new system with no practice and no pre season and it's not surprising last season turned out as it did, especially with our rather severe lack of receiver talent. You might see a big improvement in him, if he returns as the starter but who knows?

Cam Newton is a show boater ... He wants all of the glory. Notice how many times he likes to keep the ball and run with it.

Sometimes he wins and sometimes he looses ...

He looses more than he wins

Well, the NFL draft for 2021 is here. It's predicted New England and Washington will trade up for a franchise Quarterback. This draft seems to be deep in Corner backs, Running backs and Offensive lineman. Where do you think your favorite team should spend it's first few draft picks ?

You mean, who will draft the most "woke-approved" QB? The BYU QB is the same as a loaf of wonderbread, politically speaking. I think the viqueesn, to pay for MN's racist sins (dry heave), should get rid of Care Bears Cousins and get Russell Wilson.

Why don't you tell us what you really think ?


I think a lot of college players, especially quarterbacks are crap shoot with regards to their success in the NFL. Both WR Antonio Brown and Quarterback Tom Brady were both 6th round draft picks. Look how that turned out.

One wrinkle in the draft is that quarterback Aaron Rodgers wants out of Green bay. Rodgers may well be a viable short term solution for a team that needs a Quarterback but can't address it in the draft, based on other needs.

I wasn't sure about Quarterback Baker Mayfield When Cleveland took him in the draft but I think he has proved himself. I will read the papers tomorrow to see how each team made out .

To me, he comes off as a big cry baby, who loves the camera.

It's better to stay at home and enjoy the games from the comfort of the sofa without exposing yourself so much, it has been almost a tradition for a long time. And I believe that little by little things will improve and it has been improving with the NFL.

What happened to Gronk? It souinds like an elephant sat on him? ...and why did Belichick have a Gronk voodoo doll in his back pocket? To no avail, all that rain, powder too wet to fire, doink in end, from misfire. Good game though.


Both New Jersey teams won.


Time to retire Roethlisberger?

Never, ever, EVER try to figure out The Belichick or the entities that control him. Doing so could result in brain damage.

I'm almost looking forward to some good old Pat's football like the old Grogan days or even the old Bledsoe days, where the only thing that mattered was how bad they could look at the end of the season. It makes you appreciate the super bowls more.
