Well, the Patriots porked the puppy on Sunday big time. So there’s not much left to do but forget about football until the draft. And hope that between now and then Grey Hoodie realizes he needs kick-ass coordinators, a beast of a RB to kill the clock, a TE who doesn’t have the ball bouncing off his chest, and a few LB’s capable of running through brick walls.

Oh, and “Geaux Saints!” If it can’t be the Pats winning it all this year, then the folks in N’Orleans certainly deserve a break.

Anyway, here’s a few videos to ease the pain – or maybe provide some insight – or at least a few laughs. Shit … remembering that game still feels like …

It wasn’t pretty and the 2009 Patriots clearly have a lot of work left to do, but it was a win in classic Patriots fashion none the less.

For the better part of three quarters they played as if half-asleep. The Bills offense was able to push down the field, the Patriots offensive line had trouble giving Brady time to throw and even when they brought in an extra lineman, the Bills were still blowing up run plays. Brady looked uncomfortable, Welker was dropping passes – things looked bad.

Until the fourth quarter. All of a sudden Brady, Moss, Welker, and Faulk are connecting and driving down the field as expected. …

Someone posted a link to this video on Twitter recently. I saw it when it first came out back in the ’70’s. Powerful stuff.

The movie “The Wave” is based on a novel by Morton Rhue and is based on a true story that happend in 1967 at Gordon High School in Palo Alto. The teacher starts an experiment with his students trying to show them how the Nazi regime was able to invluence so many people and why no one stopped them.

He created his own symbol (the

There’s been a bunch of talk lately about Michael Vick coming to the Patriots. Some of it based on the uncanny ability for the franchise to apparently turn around “problem child” type players. Of course, a good organization starts from the top, so with Kraft and Belichick setting the tone – and with a team with a solid (recent) tradition of winning, it’s easier to get this done.

But what about Vick? He’s a physical talent for sure. Maybe he never had the supporting cast to bring out all he could be. Who knows? He’s sat out two years with his off-field issues and now he wants to play again.

I …

What. The. Hell.

I haven’t updated this site in so long it’s embarrassing. But life has a way of doing that, I guess. Or one’s “life situation”, as Tolle would put it. Yes, DoK is going all metaphysical. It took ‘em several tries to kill ole Rasputin, so he must have been on to something worth knowing, eh?

So what’s been going on in GonZoville?

One of my start-ups, Dialed In, is still hanging in there. We have a lot of Fortune 100 users, but the investment environment sucks worse than the 2008 Lions (or worse than the Mangini-coached 2009 Browns will) so we’re struggling along, trying to get …

The Patriots traded QB Matt Cassel and veteran LB Mike Vrabel yesterday to the Kansas City Chiefs for … the 34th overall pick in the 2009 draft. That’s it. A lot of fans think the Patriots got robbed, and in a way they did. But this actually was a pretty decent trade which worked out well for everyone involved on the New England side of the fence.

Consider the following:

1. If the Patriots hadn’t franchised Cassel they would have gotten nothing for him. He would have walked away as a free agent.
2. Had they not franchised Cassel, his next team would have gotten him for a lot less than the franchise salary. So
