hey kids-
know what’s better than beating the jets? beating the jets in a
thanksgiving night blowout on national tv. happy thanksgiving indeed!
the jets looked like the keystone cops out there on thursday night, and our
patriots took full advantage of their ineptitude. once again, players on both
sides of the ball got in on the scoring action, and our fearless quarterback
definitely had his fair share of the fun with 323 yards and four touchdowns. the
only thing more fun than watching tommy dismantle the jets on the field was the
hilarious moment after the game when the postgame reporter encouraged him to
pick up a turkey leg. after taking a great big bite, he wasn’t quite sure what
to do with it – so he danced around shaking it awkwardly for the rest of the
interview. luckily, no one was looking at the turkey leg.
rob gronkowski’s out for a while, which means the t&a is going to aaron
hernandez for the foreseeable future – though i’ll admit to being a bit partial
to giving it to him anyway. in the spirit of the holiday, i figured i’d give us
all something for which to be thankful – not that i wasn’t thankful for his
return...but this is better.
once again, there were lots of excellent totw candidates, but eventually i
settled upon steven gregory as the winner of this week’s tommy. not only did
steven have an early interception that both prevented the jets from scoring and
turned into a touchdown for our pats, but he also recovered a fumble that he
returned for six himself. it’s not often one player on the defense scores more
points than our best receiver – and it definitely merits the tommy of the week.
from the way steven’s cradling this ball, those butterfinger receivers better
beware!
we play in miami early on sunday morning, and i’m hoping the pats have
kicked that “lose to miami in december” once and for all. it’d be nice to gain
some more momentum for our big monday night matchup the following week against
houston. with our thursday game, i’m early with the totw this week, so you’ve
got lots of time to practice your happy patriots thoughts. start now!
have a fantastic week- and go pats!
love dav
