A good read, chock full of interesting factoids about the most dominant team ever (not counting the days before facemasks it's the Patriots and not even close)...
Also some interesting tidbits from the Las Vegas bookies, noting that the Pats are now favored to go undefeated at minus-160 to go undefeated, meaning you have to bet $160 to win $100.
... and a good amount of praise from a reporter who admits he can't stand Belichick.
Of course this comes on the heels of Brady's "admission" that they want to blow out every opponent. I'm amazed that's considered news - every team wants to blow out an opponent - and every team will, if they can, seek to fully and firmly put the game away as soon as they can.
How many times have we seen teams fail to strike that fatal blow to see a team come storming back to make it a game? We saw the Colts do it first hand in the AFC Championship. This team won't make that mistake again with any opponent if they can help it - Brady was just admitting the obvious.
The only difference is that while every team wants to do that, not every team can.
This great run could all end at any time, but regardless of what happens, it's been a helluva ride - and I'm definitely thankful for this great Patriots team this Thanksgiving!
