changing gears

the Sox have obviously decided to continue breaking my heart, even in the off season, so i am turning my attention to the Patriots. after all, here are my winter boys, barely given a cursory mention here during the first seven weeks of the season & they are quietly showing us all that you can take away every known receiver Tom Brady has thrown to in his career, give him a receiving corp stocked with names you've never heard before & he is still going to find success. my boys are 6-1 going into Sunday night against the Colts!! this team is not a fluke. and they can never be discounted. the way things are looking now, a weak division will virtually guarantee them a spot in the playoffs & the Patriots are known for improving as the season progresses. get them into the post season & i firmly believe that the only team that can beat the Patriots *is* the Patriots. (no disrespect meant to the Broncos, but don't believe me? look at the horrifically sloppy game they played to eliminate themselves in Denver last year.)

speaking of horrifically sloppy, can someone *please* tell me what the deal is with this Belichick fashion statement??

but *that* is not the team that took the field last night. nothing like an unstoppable 94-yard march down the field for a TD on the MNF opening drive to get a girl fired up for some football! i love that Tom Brady showed up at the Metrodome, a crazed deafening environment, executed the silent counts effectively, and threw for 372 yards & four touchdowns like it was just another practice session. Deion who? ;-)

now if they can just carry this momentum & level of play back to Foxboro for Sunday night. get inside Peyton's head early & take advantage of the fact that Indy has *no* run defense. how sweet would it be to ruin the Colts' undefeated record...

anyway. the game rocked. the Patriots looked like champs. Tom Brady is still The Golden Boy. and Belichick is a genius. if you didn't watch the game (or even if you did & just want to relive the victory), Chad Finn at Touching All the Bases did a live game commentary that totally cracked me up this morning. thoroughly enjoyable.

6-1. after all the criticism. ::shakes head & smiles::

That is what they call in the fashion world the "homeless look." Complete with ratty sweatshirt that looks like it's been worn for a month straight.

I *did* watch most of the game, but the most entertaining parts were when they were showing his outfit and talking about his clothes. But you can't say I'm not trying!!!
