Brady’s 1st Game

by

The year was 20 ought 01, it was a much different world.

President George W Bush was president of the US, Time Warner had just meshed with AOL to create a HUGE new ‘internet’ company, & Jennifer Lopez reminded us that he ‘Love Don’t Cost a Thing.’
What a glorious time to be alive.

It was also in this year that Tom Brady was coming alive.
While the US was hurting from the attacks of 9-11, another attack was coming-& it was on Drew Bledsoe.

Bledsoe was the lanky, thin-headed QB for the New England Patriots-who went down to injury in Game 2 of the 2001 season.
Their third game was against the high-flying Indianapolis Colts with their horse-headed leader Peyton Manning.

Brady would rise to the challenge to defeat the Colts, and go on his way to 6 Super Bowl rings, 1 Super Model wife, and a super career in acting.

Sniff a snort of nostalgia.

Week 7 Preview

by

Week 7 Preview podcast is up and live.
This week, Wade is joined by our own Brit Callum Squires, who lived in Texas for a few years and became indoctrinated into the football scene there.

Callum was at both Tottenham NFL games & was thrilled by the games there. They talk those matches, the upcoming Wembley games & the refs.
Listen, love, share.

Callum and Wade break down all the NFL games so that you don’t have to.

They look at all of the NFL games for week 7 including:

Texans (4-2) vs (-1) Colts (3-2) + 47.5
The Colts are fresh off a bye week, while the Texans can rest after beating the hapless Chiefs last week. Will Jacoby Brisett be ready for this week? Callum takes the Texans, while Wade takes the puppy Colts this week.

(-2) Vikings (4-2) vs Lions (2-2-1)
The Lions weer robbed last week, will they recover this week to atone for bad refs? Callum has the Vikings to win this, while Wade thinks that the Lions will eat this to devour the Vikings this week.

Raiders (3-2) vs (-5.5) Packers (5-1) + 47
Can the Raiders use their bye week to surpass the Pack this week? The Packers lost loads of WRs to injuries, so who can catch the ball?
Both Wade & Callum think the Packers should stomp them with a superior running game.

(-9.5) 49ers (5-0) vs Redskins (1-5) 41.5
The Redskins won! So how good are they? Not good enough for this fast front 4 of San Fran, who will punish the Skins this week once again.
Both Wade & Callum don’t see good scores here for the Skins.

Blowing out Kids

by

‘They’re just kids.’
That’s the rallying cry of any youth sports game that gets out of end.
Too often we hear about belligerent parents who get heavy-handed in sporting events, or even start getting into fist fights in the stands with each other.

But what about a coach who runs up the score in youth football?
Kyle Williams is a coach for an under 7 team in Philadelphia.
His team went up by 30 points, in a league where that’s not considered ‘fair’ and teams get penalised for it.

So coach Williams did what any good coach would do, he benched his starters-and put in his 5 year olds. Yep, those pissy pants 5 year olds.
Sadly one of those 5 year olds can ball, and was able to run the ball back for a TD.
That put the team up 36-0, and coach Williams in the dog house with the league.
He now faces a $500 fine for running up the score.
$500?
He’s going to need to sell their Christmas presents to pay off that debt.

Wade’s Week 6

by

Woohoo! Another winning week for me, as Week 6 paid off in a bounty of picks-much like the Canadian Thanksgiving I was celebrating.
Let’s take a look at some of my winning picks (& a few stinkers).

Panthers v Bucs
This London game was a bit of a slow death ride for the Bucs, as Jameis Winston couldn’t even hold onto the ball. I was confident that the Bucs would be able to handle the cats like they did in Week 2, but sadly Jameis couldn’t hit the floor if he was black out drunk.
A sad loss to start the week.

Texans vs Chiefs
Was Mahomes injured? Would the D be able to contain Deshaun Watson? Nope. I knew that the Texans were too tough for the struggling Chiefs and this pick paid off huge.

Eagles vs Vikings
Kirk Cousins at home at 1pm. If he didn’t win this one, he would need to start thinking of his future. Luckily Stefon Diggs showed up huge with massive TDs and fantasy points.
The NFC North is tough baby!

49ers vs Rams
The Rams O-line is a joke, which is why I knew that the 49ers were going to baste the Rams. A huge win to take San Fran to undefeated. Can they hang on?

Cowboys vs Jets
I doubted that ‘dem boyz would be able to hold 8 points on the struggling Jets, but boy did New York really make a game out of this. Nothing like seeing the look on Cowboys fans who were shell shocked.

Steelers vs Chargers
The Chargers were favoured by 4? What? Easy line to pick with Pittsburgh struggling to gain wins, and the Chargers struggling to find fans. Pittsburgh took a well deserved win here.

Who will I pick this week?

See you Sunday.
