I hope, but don't expect, Reid to be as naïve as you. I suspect the Pats are sandbagging Gronk and Sunday he may very well make the Chiefs look silly. [Reply]
Isn’t it ironic that they are sodding the field with 10-20 degree weather coming 5 days before the game and the NFL thought it couldn’t be done in Mexico..... They do this all the time... [Reply]

If you ask a lot of QB's...sometimes the hardest throws are the simple ones to those who are wide open with no one around.
Sounds weird I know. But it's true.
I used to pitch in baseball...and I used to HATE it when a ball would get dinked to me. The hardest throw ever was that throw to 1B when it felt like you had all the time in the world to make a nice easy simple toss. [Reply]

There is something to it no question. Look- Tom is 41. I have no doubt in my mind hes lost something. He can still sling it. He can still move around in the pocket. He can still process 1000 things in 10 seconds. But I question in those situations that require a .00002 millisecond reaction time he can handle consistently. Hes human. He needs the anticipation and that comes with comfort in his receiving corps.
Hell I'm 47 and in my youth played DII hoops. I cant do the stuff I did back then. I'd snap or break something and while in my mind I have the reaction time the body says, "nope, no way you are doing that.". [Reply]

Does the NFL dictate this for the Championship games?
More proof the Mexico thing was bullshit. They used the field as an excuse to move the game to LA for the poor beaten down fire victims. We would have never been allowed to win after they paraded out a bunch of victims before the game and constantly asked for donations. [Reply]
