I haven't made this guy a regular check-in yet, so this is a little late, but as noted, worth the read.

The great thing about the Patriots’ uninspired 17-7 loss to the Broncos Sunday night is that it’s only Week 3. Consider this a teaching loss.

In essence, this loss was more about Patriot mistakes than Denver playing well. Big plays and untimely penalties doomed the good guys in this one.

New England’s best chance to score was with just over 7 minutes left in the third quarter. Plummer hit tight end Kyle Johnson streaking over the middle, and Eugene Wilson leveled him. The ball popped out, but the officials ruled it was incomplete. Now, supposedly, you have to catch the ball and make a “football move†before it’s a fumble, but the guy caught the ball, turned his head and took a step. What, did he have to do the Ickey Shuffle or pull a Sharpie out of his sock before a fumble was called? The NFL has so many sissy rules, it’s ridiculous.

I’m just glad it’s not a division loss, and I’m just glad there’s a game next week to focus on so I can forget this borefest of a debacle.

Did you ever think that sometimes, God shapes our bodies into a representation of our inner personality? Kind of like physical onomonopatea? Well, I think commentator Chris Collinsworth is an example of this. He’s condescending, rarely has anything insightful to say, and tries to cover up his simplistic analyses with verbal put-downs complete with face-scrunches and eye-rolls. He was awful when he worked for CBS, he is awful on HBO’s “Inside The NFL†and now he’s awful on NBC’s nw “Football Night In America†show...
