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.

Listen to the whole podcast, and make your picks.

Lions vs Packers

by

Who likes garbage?
Nobody except NFL referees, as they tossed garbage around the field in the name of penalties.

This was an atrocious day for refereeing in the NFL and they should either be shamed, blamed, benched or fired.
Having ref’d a few high school games in my day, even I would walk off the field if I was dinged for a ‘too many men on the field’ call.

The Detroit Lions feel robbed, and rightly so.
The officiating in the NFL is getting worse, how does this happen?
How do we have more scrutiny on the game and in their ears, and they continue to make horrible and dishonest calls.

Either they’re too dumb, or they’re on the take.
When you’re making $200,000 a year, your eyes and your ears should be on form for the game, but not these guys.

Someone needs to start a ledger of which refs continually screw up, and then trash them.

It’s really starting to ruin the game, and someone has to do something.

Now the Packers are 5-1. Way to go refs!

 

Giants vs Patriots

by

And just like that the Patriots are 6-0.
Who saw that coming?
Everyone.

What people hadn’t thought of, is just how damn good that defense is.
They stunt, swarm and pick like Japanese hornets feasting on worker bees.
Tom Brady looked stunned by that Giants D who was able to rattle him, but it was his D that saved the day.

Not to mention some idiotic plays by the Giants special teams, who punted into their own guys head.
Look, you practice enough when punting to know NOT to blop your lineman in the head with the ball, and as the guy on the line-to push a bit further back.

Watch the highlights, then dream of a team that might be able to beat their D.
Got to give it to olde Billy B, he compensates.
Guess he learned that from Kraft.

Here’s the Japanese hornet eating bees just so you get the full picture.
