If you’re a Patriots fans don’t you love how people hate the Patriots? I do and I don’t care. Winners are hated: The Celtics, the Yankees, Red Auerbach, George Steinbrenner, Bobby Knight, Alabama, Nick Saban, Bill Belichick…. All hated, but all winners! Great call by the New York Dailey News on their prediction that Matt […]

A week ago today in this blog I said “Shut-Up” to all the people on social media whining about the officiating and whining about how the officials favor the Patriots. Today I say “Stop embarrassing yourselves!” and you are embarrassing yourselves! I love the comments that say I don’t care who wins and I don’t […]

It’s the AFC and NFC championship games this Sunday. I went 2-2 last week and I now stand at 165-99. I’m going with the Patriots over Jacksonville and Philadelphia over Minnesota. Am I worried about Tom Brady’s hand injury? You bet I am! If it is badly injured the Patriots can lose the game. Despite […]

I think it’s great that MSJ is going back to varsity football after breaking off from the co-op program with Poultney. I think Tucker Peterson will do a great job as coach and has a great staff including his dad Art Peterson. Art was not only a former coach at Mill River as was Tucker, […]

Shut Up!!! That’s what I want to say to all the experts on facebook and twitter with their running commentary during NFL games. Yes the officiating stinks, but come on every call that goes the Patriots way isn’t some kind of a conspiracy or is always the wrong one. Name one call on Saturday that […]

Yes it was a classic and I missed it! Is it me or do football games last longer than baseball games? Of course this one went into overtime and of course more action than the average baseball game! You have to give Nick Saban a lot of credit. He ties Bear Bryant for most national […]

I went 2-2 in the NFL wildcard round to bring my overall record to 163-97. I wish Dan Shaugnessey would stop talking about tomato cans on the Patriots schedule for the playoffs. Dan, it is really getting old! It’s the NFL and anybody can beat you! I don’t think a day goes by when I […]

I’ve been listening to Boston Sports talk radio for weeks as they talk about the rift in the Patriots between the quarterback, coach, the personal trainer and owner and any trades that were made and blah, blah, blah. The trouble is I’ve only heard one side. It all sounds like speculation to me and quite […]
