N.E. Pats make their own luck......OR.......

Buffalo just snatches defeat from the Jaws of victory? Well color me unimpressed with the N.E. defense. The special teams saves the game for the Pats...we've seen it in the past and we'll see it again in the future. Sometimes the Pats can drive me nuts...but they found a way to win again. I'm watching Richard Seymour stuff the run out in San Diego right now..that's really weird. Brady was noticeably skittish in the pocket but he still threw over 370 yards or something. So this is what we know so far. The passing game is as good as any team. The defense is going to be suspect for the whole year. The Running game still is not great (Laurence Maroney is going to drive this kid insane...I'm sorry but he sucks) and the special teams are as good as can be expected. THIS ONE IS GOING TO DRIVE THE PATS HATERS BONKERS!!!!!! As deranged as Pats haters can be I can actually sympathize with the fans in Buffalo. I said the fans....not this guy....



I was actually at the RedSox game last Friday night....it got rained out by the end of the first inning. A friend of mine called me that day with free tickets in the Fleet clubhouse area or whatever it is. 165.00 dollar tickets is actually something I will not pass up on at Fenway Park...raining or not. So right after we sat down the Benevolent one called in a dial-a-shot from Canada land. I said "Bam-WOW"...the rest of the conversation was "Blah Blah blah.....(*&*(^)(*() Blah" Somehow the Dial-a-Shot is always well timed. Good stuff.

I won some ZZ Top tickets to tomorrow nights show at the Orpheum Theater in Boston. I won through a local radio station and it seemed pretty easy. I think I may just win some in the future. Funny....I haven't seen them since 1991 when Extreme opened up for them at Great Woods. This could be a great show....it seems like it was so long ago that I went to a couple of shows even within the same year. Since the little ones were born I haven't had the chance. That has all changed lately. Late summer has been a good one for concerts, sports events, and general outdoor stuff. Did I ever mention that this is my favorite time of year? Poker has been meh at best. I haven't done much in the way of cashing any significant money. I may get out to a home game at the end of the month. Maybe with the HPT peeps. I just noticed that the HPT website is down...d'oh. Here is some bizarre poker news as well.

Edit : The ZZ Top show at the Orpheum was great. I can't believe they've been around for 40 years. In the past month i've seen the Allman Bros. on their 40 anniversary tour and now ZZ Top on theirs as well. Both bands have been playing live and honing their chops since before I was born....incredible. That's why I like to see the old pros...they sound incredible and they have a ton of classic songs. The Orpheum was built some time in the mid-1800's so it's not exactly conducive to loud distorted guitars. Awesome show...if you can get some cheap tickets it's the best show in town.
