EARLY MORNING 12/24/07

Good morning all.

Yes, it's VERY early on Christmas Eve morning. I have to be at work in just over 6 hours (yes, I'm working a 24-hour shift on X-Mas Eve. What's up with THAT??? :-) ) But...I haven't posted in a couple of days, so here we go...

Let's talk first about the Patriots. Yes, they beat the Dolphins. And yes, I know that I was worried about this game, when the Dolphins had still not won a game. After last week, when they won, I calmed down a bit. Yes, the "Don Shula" groupies wanted nothing more than to see the Dolphins beat the Pat's...but the players themselves had won a game. Which is almost as incredible as that High School Football Team (I don't remember what team...I saw them on NFL Network earlier...who has not lost a game in 5 years!). No...I take that back. That High School team's record is MUCH MORE incredible than the Dolphin's record! But "The Tuna" will turn that team around! (hehehe)

Anyway...the question that will be talked about with every sports-writer in the Northern Hemisphere this week: Will Bellicheck "rest" his starting players in the last season game of the season, against the Giants (who may likely "rest" their players). I'll answer this right now... NO! I don't care WHAT Bellicheck, Brady, or Moss say in their post-game interview's...Mr. Bill wants to see Brady beat Manning's record, Moss beat Jerry Rice's record, the Patriots beat the Viking's season record for points scored. Talk about the biggest "*&%$#@! YOU!" that Bill could say to the world, but to break all of these records! And EACH AND EVERY ONE of these records are VERY breakable next Saturday against the Giants. And if the Giants buy into the "let's rest our starters in the last game that can't help us to win" babble, then all of those records should be "gimme's". We shall see.

OK...that's all for now. I'm tired. I need to sleep. Merry Christmas, Happy Harmonica, and all that good stuff! :-)
