A lot of noise about Brady being the one who made Bellichick great, and certainly there's a bit of truth to that, but he led the Pats to 9 Super Bowls. Shula only went to one with Marino, Saints only once with Brees, Walsh 3 times with Montana (albeit in only 10 years)... etc, etc. Brady didn't hol...

Man that sucks Syb, hope the rain ends soon!

We had snow here Monday, melted away yesterday, now it's in the 30s but we have crazy as F winds (gusts up to ~50 mph) that make it seem cold and then down to the teens this weekend.

If you're anything like my wife, you might want to take a pregnancy test.

Been that way my whole life. I'm a carnivore, but I don't enjoy eating that much meat, and I'm particular about the meat consumed.

I’m even more confused now — are you saying that a coach can only be considered as part of a coaching tree by virtue of where his first coaching job was?

I loved Chinatown, but I always felt way out of place, finally found a restaurant near the DMV where I at least had an inkling of what I was ordering.

I still think Vrabel is a good coach; good coaches get fired. He's had some bad QBs which will make any coach look bad, as I'm unfortunately learning now. He's also had a transcendental RB, I'm not as set on him being that great of a coach. Belechick needs some GM checking but otherwise is still be...

odd argument aside, trying to claim that a guy who got his first major head coaching job directly after spending five seasons in New England and working his way up the offensive staff *isn't* part of the New England/Belichick coaching tree is quite the reach He was OC at a major program, he would h...

Vrabel Another win for the Belichick tree! He never coached under Bill, only played. He's part of the Bill 0'Brian (NFL) or Urban Meyer (OSU) trees. Isn't that like saying your grandfather isn't a part of your family tree because he wasn't your father? So by your logic, Ryans is off the Kubiack tre...

Take the T. There's a weird thing with uber and it's a pain to find your driver and phones don't work, etc. If you're staying around Copley it's easy enough to take the silver/blue line from Logan and then the green line to Copely.

Supposedly Winston and the team went rouge. It was supposed to be a kneel-down.

I use Google Maps any time I’m driving more than 15 minutes. Traffic can be unpredictable here.

I want to add to take some time if they do call. A good friend called me and I was busy doing this or that so I paid half attention and then cut the call short and he died a week later (he had been a really heavy drinker and had liver and other problems.)
