is that pic from the Bob James album "Touchdown"?

wait, it's not. just has a similar look...

3 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 3:42 pm

2) No, but that was my first thought. LOL.

Pats D looking good early.

[1] the link made me think that was about wakefield. weird.

5 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 4:03 pm

A little back and forth. We got a game so far.

6 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 4:36 pm

Pats by 3 at the half. Pretty good game so far.

7 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 5:20 pm

Ravens 20-16, third quarter winding down. I still down bet against Brady at home here...

8 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jan 22, 2012 5:23 pm

C'mon, Brady. Do you your thing. That way you can lose in the Super Bowl.

9 RIYank   ~  Jan 22, 2012 5:29 pm

Gronkowski is a huge loss. I think the Pats just became underdogs.

10 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jan 22, 2012 5:36 pm

Fourth and goal. Go for it, Belicheat.

11 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jan 22, 2012 5:45 pm

That's the Flacco I know and love.

12 rbj   ~  Jan 22, 2012 5:45 pm

Heck of a game.

13 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 5:48 pm

And now, exchange of interceptions. Wow.

14 RIYank   ~  Jan 22, 2012 5:56 pm

Amazing, the Ravens can just run at will, and they try that silly little draw. Must go for it on 4th and 6, of course...

15 RIYank   ~  Jan 22, 2012 5:57 pm

Wow.
Flacco looked good for much of the game, huh? Simms was even giving him props.

16 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jan 22, 2012 5:57 pm

Sweet. A couple more first downs from the semi-lesser of two evils and baltimore can slither back home.

17 rbj   ~  Jan 22, 2012 6:10 pm

No good!

18 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jan 22, 2012 6:10 pm

Eat it, B'more. Laces out, Dan!

19 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 6:13 pm

Oh, bless his heart, he must be the sickest man in America.

20 RIYank   ~  Jan 22, 2012 6:22 pm

[19] God, what a feeling.
I mean, he choked. I never say that. But there's no other way to describe it.

21 rbj   ~  Jan 22, 2012 6:48 pm

[20] Yup. Almost as bad as Wide Right for Buffalo.

22 thelarmis   ~  Jan 22, 2012 6:49 pm

[21] scott norwood!

23 RIYank   ~  Jan 22, 2012 6:53 pm

Yeah, Scott Norwood.
In these parts we occasionally get to hear the radio call of the Patriots' first Superbowl victory. As the Patriots line up to snap the ball, Gil Santos asks, "It it Adam Vinatieri or Scott Norwood?"

24 thelarmis   ~  Jan 22, 2012 6:58 pm

[23] RI - it's good to see ya, man! how are ya?

25 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jan 22, 2012 7:01 pm

Nice touchdown. Way to get the 15 yard penalty. Dumb ass!

26 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 7:06 pm

25) I mean, really. So stupid.

27 rbj   ~  Jan 22, 2012 7:36 pm

Tied up!

28 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 8:41 pm

Giants so tough right now.

29 RIYank   ~  Jan 22, 2012 8:46 pm

[24] Hey yo! Doin' good. Pretty good.
A little down because two of my kids are back at college now, but, in general good.

30 rbj   ~  Jan 22, 2012 8:47 pm

crap. 9ers touch down.

31 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jan 22, 2012 9:01 pm

Oooooffff. That collision over the middle was horrendous.

32 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 9:58 pm

Now here comes Eli with 1:38 left set to do something special.

33 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 10:08 pm

Wow, OT.

34 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 10:27 pm

Both defensive teams are impressive, man.

35 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 10:29 pm

9ners fumble. This one looks about over, folks.

36 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 10:32 pm

Giants=Bowl Bound!

37 Jose Sarduy   ~  Jan 22, 2012 10:36 pm

Sweeeeeet!!!!

38 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 10:37 pm

Impressive. The Gints are for real. But I'll say this, I will be surprised if Brady loses to them again.

LOL

39 Jose Sarduy   ~  Jan 22, 2012 10:40 pm

shut your mouth!!

40 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 22, 2012 10:45 pm

I just hope the game is as exciting as the two that were played today and I'm relieved that I can kick back and enjoy it without sweating it out!

41 Jose Sarduy   ~  Jan 22, 2012 10:55 pm

Eli is the best player in NY/NJ

42 NoamSane   ~  Jan 22, 2012 10:59 pm

[38] Brady doesn't play D. Bank on a Giants victory. It won't be as close as last time.

43 Matt Blankman   ~  Jan 22, 2012 11:11 pm

[41] I've been an Eli booster from day 1, and I kind of like that even when he has a great day and makes a huge play, he still looks like he's not sure where he is or what the score is.

[42] No, but the coach up there has been known to have a loose interpretation of the rules. Never mind, I think the Giants are going to pull this off.

44 Jose Sarduy   ~  Jan 22, 2012 11:26 pm

win or lose still very impressive for a 9-7 team

45 Alex Belth   ~  Jan 23, 2012 11:13 am

Here's Michael Lewis' 2004 NY Times Mag story on Eli:
