1. Patriots fall out
* The loss stinks but not half as bad as the thought that the dynasty is over
* At least we don’t have to watch KC win 28-13 in Arrowhead
* In the draft in April - remember the Sanu drops and lack of separation when the Patriots are skipped over in the second round
* Brady kept the TB12 myth going playing in 17 of 17 games (even though bad foot, shoulder, elbow)
* Wasn’t a fan of Brady’s conehead winter hat at press conference
* Brady was the 13th rated QB and the 13th paid QB
* Brady comes back if you sign him for $25,000,000 and an option if he plays 85% of snaps and get back Develin, Andrews, sign Thuney, Gronk or sign Hooper from Atlanta, a #1 receiver
2. Around the NFL
* Drew Brees is to Wilt Chamberlain as Tom Brady is to Bill Russell
* Great throw by Cousins
* Taping a sporting event on the DRV that goes into sudden death can be counter productive because you are aware of when the game ends by the time left on the tape
* NFL doesn’t care about head injuries - the hit by Clowney to Wentz’s head should have been an ejection
3. Another look back to the loss against Miami - draft position of nine Miami defenders who had at least two tackles in the game: 7 undrafted players, one - 7th rounder, two - fifth rounders
4. Least games played by a Patriot first round pick 1970-2015
* Andy Katzenmoyer…2000…24
* Hart Lee Dykes……..1989…26
* Robert Edwards…….1998…28
* Vagas Ferguson…….1980…33
* Dominique Easly……2014…41
5. Greatest Roar in Boston sports:
* Brad Park goal versus Buffalo
* Ted Bruschi interception return in the snow
* Orr putting on his shirt
* Nava home run after the 2013 marathon bombing
* Bourque showing the crowd his new number #77
6. How will the Celtics survive without Al Horford?
Horford - Salary $27mm / 12.2 points / 6.5 rebounds
Kanter - Salary $5mm / 9.1 points / 8 rebounds
7. Amazing Stats - The two receiving corp from 2014 loss to Denver and Saturday night:
2014 - Combined Pro Bowls - ZERO - Collie, Mulligan, Houmanawanui, Slater, Edelman, Amendola
2020 - Combined Pro Bowls - ZERO - Dorsett, Meyers, Sanu, Lacosse, Harry, Edelman
8. Old School - Who was better Steve Grogan or Terry O’Reilly:
Grogan - 7th in games / 3rd in passing / 0 Pro Bowls
O’Reilly - 7th in games / 11th in points / 2 All Star games
Nod to Grogan - carried team
9. Just a Little Bit Outside - Still trying to determine who I want to go to prison for life - slow drivers in speed lane OR people talking in movie theatre
10. Randomocity
* If the NBA is broken into seven pay periods (Oct-April), the Brooklyn Nets paid Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving $9,848,714 in December - they played in ZERO games
* Urban Meyer recommended Steve Addazio for the Colorado State job - then Addazio hired Urban Meyer’s son-in-law
* Was the domberman pincher breed a 70’s dog
* Wolves center Karl Anthony Downs is available? I would give up Tatum and the 1st pick from Memphis
* Worst pot holes in early January ever
* Fun to see overpaid, self-important, hypocritical actors sweat as Ricky Gervais stood at the microphone
