Patriots Overlooked Again - What's New

Here's the Enemy (overhyped as usual by the TV Networks and the NFL):



And here's what the enemy has to say about tonight's Patriots-Jets matchup in a battle for first place, from the New York Post (and something to keep in mind while watching tonight):

"Deep down in their souls, the Jets believe they're a better team now than the Patriots. Deep down, they know they're better.

One Jets offensive player, who spoke under the condition of anonymity because he didn't want to provide bulletin board fodder for the Patriots, talked about being "sick to our stomachs" about the Jets' 19-10 loss in Week 2 at the Meadowlands. He felt the Patriots were vulnerable - particularly on defense. Not to mention it was the first game with Matt Cassel at quarterback, after Tom Brady was injured in Week 1 vs. the Chiefs.

The player spoke matter-of-factly about how "slow" and "old" a number of the New England defenders are and how he believes the Jets should be able to put up "a lot of points" on them tonight."

The only things sadder than the NFL hitching their promos for tonight's game on Brett Favre is the Boston Bruins. Even when the Bruins are playing well (winners of seven of their last eight games and second in the Eastern Conference in points), I can find something to blast them about.

In typical Bruins fashion they are playing their biggest game of the season so far (against Montreal) on a night when all the sports fans in New England will be changing channels at 8:15 to watch Pats-Jets. Any chance the Bruins could play an entire hockey game in 70 minutes? Probably not.
