...over the Patriots. Bob Ryan, OK, local guy, pointed out that Stephen Gostkowski has attempted 12 field goals this year, but has kicked off 75 times. Punter Chris Hanson has so few punts he's not even listed on ESPN's ranking or whatever ranking for punters he he looked at for lack of attempts. Mike Lupica, Bill Rhoden, John Saunders tried to come up with comps for other great teams/individuals; the usual Tiger Woods, 115 win Yankees, 114 win Mariners, Detroit Tigers 35 - 5 start in 1984 and others came up. The best, to me, was Joe Louis' "Bum of the Month Club" from 1939 - 1941. No, I don't remember that, just heard about it. Ryan pointed out that the spread of 24 points today ties the 1976 49ers spread of 24 over the expansion Buccaneers, said is there any doubt it will be 30 vs. the Dolphins and/or the Jets later. This show airs again on ESPN News at 9:30 PDT.
