After hearing me wax lyrical about the old uniforms and logo, my wife excelled by getting me a beautiful cap with Pat Patriot and 1960 on it, a Pat Patriot pin badge, beercan cooler, keyring and patch. Loooovely :)

Typoes on my part. Obviously, Tampa and Washington were GETTING eleven points.

7-7 with one game left. If it wasn't clear, this was meant to be a bit of fun. I do actually handicap seriously (and am having a very good season) but obviously wouldn't be betting every game on a weekend.

Detroit -3 over Cleveland Nice defensive effort on Monday night for Browns. Team still not good enough to win at fearsome Ford Field six days later. Michigan puts one over Ohio. Jacksonville -9 over Buffalo Somewhat of a similar spot for the Bills as last week at Tennessee, and you know how...

With the best will in the world I don't think anyone wants to read sixteen straight haikus! Also it's all but impossible to show a profit trying to pick every game versus the spread. But just for fun and minus the haikus: OAK +3 @KC, TITANS -6.5 v Houston, Pats -3.5 @ Jest, CINCI +9 @GB...

OK, you didn't ask for them (again) so here they are (again). SEATTLE +2 @ San Francisco Seahawks reassert division supremacy despite the long grass Kansas City/Oakland UNDER THE TOTAL 38 Run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run CAROLINA +6.5...

We just won an absolute thriller in the real Patriots uniforms. It felt like 1985 all over again, to me. Along with the other guy who mentioned this, I have played football (by which I mean 'soccer') my entire life in countless different uniforms and never, ever felt the slightest confusion...

Re: Everyone Relax I look at it like this. While I feel for the Bills (in a way I wouldn't for certain other teams) they weren't as hugely unlucky as all the press will be painting them today. Both teams scored 7 points off turnovers, although we still had to actually cover ground to get our...

Regarding Thomas's sack and subsequent penalty: I thought that the rule was quite specifically that you couldn't "drive" the quarterback into the ground, which I have always understood to mean you plough the QB to the ground with you on top of him. Adalius most certainly didn't do that.

You've had a stroke of bad luck, as this is the first year in a while where you wouldn't have the ability to watch the game on TV. On the other hand, it really shouldn't be that difficult to find somewhere on the wild west of the web..... or so people tell me. Obviously I would never do...

Both calls were crap, and I'd feel the same regardless of the teams involved. Defenders are getting put in an impossible position with the whole '"in the grasp" thing. Remember the poor Giants guy last season (?) who had been penalised for roughing one time, so then he let his guy go after...

i went five and five very disappointing but tiny profit made

You can take the haikus to the bank. (Especially if haiku is the Finnish currency.. is it?.... I don't know) Next week.... limericks!

You didn't ask for them, so here they are: MAXIMUM HAIKU BETS: Bengals -4 over Broncos Denver upheaval plus Orton's hand injury welcome back Carson RECOMMENDED HAIKU BETS: Eagles -1 at Carolina McNabb wants to prove there is no need for Michael hence he'll win this game...

There were a few highlights and a couple of really good teams in the real uniforms - it's not like we were the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Obviously I'm not stupid enough not to partly see why some people feel the way you do, but I think Patriots-world would be a much better place if the uniform...
