The probability that the Patriots would win 19 of the last 25 flips = 1, or 100% ... because it happened. The name "Brady" is not uncommon compared to many others -- 0.025% of Americans. So what were the chances the Patriots would get a QB named Brady? 0.025% = 0.00025. And yet it...

OMG. no late flag for illegal formation??

I have zero doubt that I will not be disappointed by the Bengals. They will come up small and lose badly.

There may have been threads on this before, but partly in response to Charles Barkley about whether we appreciate, what insane Pats (and/or Brady) stats do you have? Here are a few: Since 2001, the Patriots are *averaging* more than 12 wins per year. (Give a little credit to Peyton -- in...

Now stories are coming out reminding people that this guy has had issues going back to at least 2002 at Nebraska, Oregon, St. Louis, etc. With the attention on bullying issues these days (see recent Florida case of 14 year old bullying a 12 year old to suicide and then showing zero remorse...

Great post. I know I could not have said it better. I hope the media can tell the difference between ugly haircut day and racist threats. They often lose the subtle points.

Tebow might believe that Jesus lived at the time of the dinosaurs. And people say he brings the (media) circus to town, but that's not the way it is or will be with the Pats. I care not. Tebow plays hard, hates to lose, has good football character, has monster quads, and finds ways to win...

I try not to get caught up in the media stuff, but this thing with Shannon Sharpe is annoying, and the Spygate stuff infuriates me to no end. It is the most nothing thing -- I'll bet most people who talk about it do not even know what it was, which was essentially filming from an unauthorized...

This whole thing is nuts!! How is it bad sportsmanship (and to whom?) not to answer a "how do you feel" question on the field? Didn't BB say Baltimore was better and deserved to win? That the Pats were outcoached and outplayed? Have we ever heard BB blame weather, penalties, injuries, or...

I doubt there are too many comparisons -- each situation is different. But the Pats allegedly damaged the Jets ... and then lost in the playoffs. The Celtics had the greatest 4th quarter comeback in NBA history against the Nets to go up 2-1. The Nets were so damaged they ... won 3...

I love the game, but the Pats' success has diminished the regular season somewhat for me. It seems like many of the years, the first half of the season is hoping a disaster does not happen, and then the second half playing for a bye. It feels like the season does not start until the playoffs.

Did Ridley have one fumble or two? Box score says one, but the announcers seemed to keep indicating there were two. We they counting the one where he was clearly down? (One is too many)

If this image sticks in my head, I will hunt you down.

Still would not be thrilled seeing the Ravens D, even with injuries, but the O is a joke and could just keep collapsing.

A little while back, both Mannings were sacked within 30 seconds of each other. Not sure if there's some kind of record -- shortest time between sacks for brothers. Good things Ravens got ride of their OC -- they look SO much better now.
