I don't think snow is as big an enemy of the passing game as wind. And Boston is the windiest major city in America. In fact, Blue Hill which isn't far from Foxboro is the windiest city of any size in the country. Of course, Brady has plenty of experience throwing in the Foxboro winter. I'm not...

Two clear sides. On the one, Patriot haters. On the other, God.

Praying for mercy might be a wiser tack.

My favorite "home field advantage" was when the Astros got caught cranking up the AC behind home plate when they batted (creating a blowing out "wind") and cutting it off when the opponents hit.

I know the goal is to win the Super Bowl but the chance to go undefeated is, I think, too great an opportunity to pass on. Play 'em.

Ginn, Beck and Brown: the Future. As if the present weren't dismal enough already.

Best way to keep a team from running up the score is to play defense. The NFL is a professional league. You don't want to get blown out, then, do your job.

The call on Ellis Hobbs was simply atrocious. I'd use that film to teach kids the right way to defend that pattern. if you can't play defense the way he did on that play the only option left is just go sit on the sidelines and them paly catch. The call on Moss was pretty ridiculous too...

Pony, I believe if you had read my post you'd know I said that I do not believe the Patriots should have been made to forfeit. What they did is not an extreme enough transgression, just as the other instances you cited were not. As I pointed out, forfeiting is an absolute last resort (right...

Brian Dowling.

So there I said what I meant about that. And it is a separate discussion. Which is what I meant in the first place. But I'm happy to oblige. Beats working.

No, I don't think the game should have been forfeited. But I think a pretty good argument could be made for it. Especially, as I understand it, the Pats had been warned by the league about this very thing before. (If I'm wrong about that, my apologies.) The league is only going to impose a...

I moved here for a couple years in 94-95, then, moved back in 99 to stay. Boston is my adopted home. I've grown to love it and, as a big sports fan, the teams here, as well. I first caught on to football watching AFL games back in the 60's (NBC was the only VHF channel in Columbia, SC and we...

An asterisk would be silly in this case. If the transgression were great enough for that, the NFL should have had the Pats forfeit the game (and maybe they should have but that's another discussion altogether). I'd love to see the Pats run the table but that's not a foregone conclusion by any...
