I hate asterisk columns, but his guy has a new spin... we should get one because of our easy schedule.
Can't say I'm buying it, but it was a suprising spin:
http://www.theheraldbulletin.com/sports/local_story_332233401.html?keyword=secondarystory
Here are some snippets:
"The reason is [for the asterisk] that the Patriots’ schedule is easy enough that many teams over the past 10 years could have come close to Miami’s unbeaten mark. New England’s division gives “weak” a bad name."
"Brady managed one touchdown pass [vs the Eagles]. But that’s understandable. Mostly Brady is playing against defenses that would have trouble stopping running water with a tap."
"Staff member Richard Torres put together some stats that show that the season Manning set the record, he had faced teams, to this point, with a combined record of 30-23. Brady has faced teams with combined records of 30-26. There are two things misleading about those stats."
... I'll let you read the article to discover his 2 points about Manning's achievements being better ...
