[KCCAFan4Ever]

i love your icons.

and yeah bruschi is amazing. he's a really good role model too.

Thanks. I need to make some from the Colts game. These are from the Dallas game.

He is. My aunt was a big fan of his. She and my uncle went and saw one of the Pat's games in winter of 05. I wish she could have met Bruschi.

yeah the refs were pretty bad.


his commercials are so annoying.

[KCCAFan4Ever]

My mom got the SI with Bruschi, Vrabel, etc. on it at the Best Buy that just opened buy us.

I was at the game last night! So much fun! I'll be at the game this weekend too against the Eagles. I'm glad that one's a home game since I had to go to Buffalo for last night's. Definitely worth it though.

[KCCAFan4Ever]

^Have fun!

Tom Brady interview this morning: http://weei.podzinger.com/externalLink.jsp...0_Tom_Brady.mp3

Gay on criticism
Patriots CB Randall Gay was a guest on ESPN Radio's "GameNight" program and was asked about criticism the team receives for running up the score.

The Q&A, which can also be heard on ESPN.com:

You hear people saying 'the Patriots are running up the score, they don't have any sportsmanship, they're the team everybody loves to hate because they don't have any mercy.' When you hear that kind of talk from people, what is your reaction and what would you like to say to those people?

"Basically, you have to ignore those people because this is a job. We're out there, and what are we supposed to do? Like we scored on defense, when Ellis [Hobbs] caught the fumble, should he have taken a knee because we were up by so much? We're out there to do our job, just like they're out there to do their job. It kind of makes me mad when you hear somebody from the other team's defense going 'they shouldn't have done that; that's disrespect.' Do we think it's disrespect when they went and picked up their checks for letting a team score 50 points on them? That should be disrespect, that you went to your owner and said 'All right, pay me for that game I just played.' You can't look at it like that. You have to go out there and do your best. If somebody is blowing you out, you have to play harder. You have to stop them."

So true.

[KCCAFan4Ever]

Well said Randall.

[Chelsey]

Randall Gay FTW.

And, am I the only one who finds Tom's voice really annoying?

[KCCAFan4Ever]

Randall Gay FTW.

And, am I the only one who finds Tom's voice really annoying?

I barely ever hear Tom talk, so...yes?

Did I mention how much I love Tedy? He's just like a cuddly teddy bear, like his name.

[Niki]

YAY for Randall Gay.

Is it wrong that I actually think some of Peyton's commercials are funny? Yeah, they show them far too often, but some of them are really good. And, I also thought he was funny on SNL. He doesn't bother me as a person, just as a football player.
*sinks back off to the corner and prepares to be attacked*

aww i'd never attack you.

[Chelsey]

YAY for Randall Gay.
aww i'd never attack you.

Thank you, dear.

[Niki]

Last week's game against the Eagles scared me. I'm SO glad we pulled it off.

Tomorrow we play the Ravens.

Go Patriots!

and if I hear one more person say they're running up the score, I'm gonna throw a football at them.

[dianemayxo]

I hate that people are saying they run up the score because they recently got accused of cheating. SO they can't really win. They're either cheating to win so not really winning or winning too much. Why can't hey just be winning..

New Patriots Rules in Effect
In order to address the complaints and hurt feelings of the rest of the NFL, the commissioner has adopted 10 new "Special Rules" for all New England Patriots games. They take effect immediately, and are as follows:

Special Rules for the Patriots
1) In the course of an NFL game, if the Patriots go up by more than 31 points, they are not allowed to play offense until the opposing team draws to within one score. (Pats will kick-off after an opposing team's touchdown or FG).
Once the team is within one score, the Pats offense may play, but Tom Brady may not, unless:
the Pats play with 8 players (including Tom), or the Pats play with 9 players, but 1 player for the Patriots is chosen by the opposing team from the stands. no Patriots linebacker is allowed to play offense, unless that LB is inserted at quarterback. However, Mike Vrabel cannot be quarterback.

2) If an opposing player states "It's like were playing 7-on-5s" (7 offense, 5 defense during practice), such as indicated by Justin Smith, DE, Cincinnati Bengels 10/1/07, the Patriots must take a time out and serve ice cold lemonade or hot tea (weather dependent) to the opposing team. Scones are optional.

3)Once the 31 pt rule is in effect, Patriots may challenge any play, but the opposing team gets veto power over the referee.

4)Once the Pats offense is allowed back onto the field (7 pts), for any forward pass the Pats QB must point to the receiver and call out his number BEFORE passing. If Tom Brady is quarterbacking at the time, he must do that, plus turn the opposing team's water cooler into wine BEFORE passing.

5)Belichick must diagram any Patriots play to the opposing defense and ensure they understand exactly how to disrupt the play. This all must be done within the play clock. If this process is not complete prior to the play clock expiring, the Patriots will be assessed a delay of game and double unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

6)Randy Moss must play with 10lb ankle weights on each ankle. An additional pound will be added for each TD this season.

7)Wes Welker is not allowed to have "that crazy look" in his eyes. 10 yd, "crazy eyes"penalty assessed.

8 Tom Brady must immediately stop dating supermodels as he will not be allowed to date anyone that is more attractive then the least attractive significant other of an opposing team member (including coaches). He also must start doing commercials for every product imaginable, especially ones where he chants "cut that meat!"or refers to himself "as a 6'5" quarterback with a laser-rocket arm"

9)Bill Belichick is not allowed to be within 100 yds of any infant, for fear that his evil supergenius powers would assimilate such a defenseless creature into the Patriots System. We have already seen this effect on an inordinate amount of chipmunks, squirrels, and 'possum that commit suicide while crossing Rte 1 to reach Gillette Stadium.

10)Patriots must respect all opposing players feelings and apologize for every first down. Touchdowns must be followed by a written apology and a fruit basket presented with a hug.

check this out;

Steelers' Smith guarantees upset of New England

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Defensive back Anthony Smith is so certain the Pittsburgh Steelers will end the New England Patriots' unbeaten season, he is guaranteeing a win Sunday in Foxborough.

The Patriots (12-0) may have the perfect record, Smith said Wednesday, but it should be New England that is worried about the Steelers (9-3) rather than the other way around.

"People keep asking me if we're ready for the Patriots," Smith said. "They should be asking if they're ready for us."

you can read the rest here.

i love this team too! I think my new fav. player is welker.

Once the guys get huge helping of humble pie this week, hopefully an enormous helping, they'll be ready.

i love this team too! I think my new fav. player is welker.

I love Wes too. Every time I see him on the field, I always say he looks cute cause he's not as tall as everyone else.
