Weekend Notes

By request a quick preview of Pats-Colts and some other weekend thoughts. I expect the Pats to be in cruise control tomorrow and coast to a 38-14 win. It's crazy to believe but Bill Belichick is actually underrated. Based on talent alone from man 1-53 the Pats are probably the 18th best team in the league and they're still going to be the #1 seed in the AFC this year. Tomorrow they'll be starting three backup offensive lineman, including a fourth string center and still favored by 20 points. The Colts are 0-12 without Peyton Manning, the Pats went 11-15 without Brady. Manning is not eleven games more valuable then Brady, Belichick is just that much better then other coaching staffs, especially the utterly pathetic Jim Caldwell.
Quick Hitters
*Rematch I want to see Kentucky-North Carolina basketball. Rematch I don't want to see LSU-Alabama football.
*The four teams in college football right now are Wisconsin, USC, Alabama and LSU.  Stop fooling yourselves college presidents, this sport needs a playoff.
*The entire state has enjoyed following a local sports team as much as the 2011 Bruins since the 2007 Patriots and Celtics. That year the Pats had an undefeated season and the newly created big three won 66 games and an NBA title. Watching your team play at the highest possible level of their sport is amazing to watch. As a basketball guy, I never thought hockey would be appointment viewing. Now I wouldn't think of missing a Bruins game, they're that good.
*To anyone with a Netflix account, Terriers is now available on instant viewing. It was the best new show of 2010 and was canceled because me and Jackson Crockett might have been the only two people in America who watched it. With all the crap on TV this season it's a shame we won't see this brilliantly acted underdog story on the air ever again. (It's a buddy show about 2 PIs in over their heads)
*Derek Kellog was one of my favorite Umass players growing up, unfortunately that hasn't translated to the sidelines. The talent level may be improving, but the same mistakes are repeated every year. Missing free throws, turning the ball over and fouling is not winning basketball. I fear I will deep into my 30's before the Minutemen make the NCAAs again.
*Paging Ron Brace, do something man. You are no Mike Bradley Burncoat's greatest pro athletes.
*R.E.D. Steamrollers AKA team Mars WTF hopefully my Motley Crue of wheelchair soccer players play far better then they pick team names.
*I would have drove Rondo to the airport for Chris Paul
*If not in Kentucky, dont drink mint juelps
My rambling is over goodnight off to Gillette Stadium home of the greatest broken elevator ever created!
