This is probably the greatest innovation in video games history, science, or mankind;  since the power pad.  Check out the video below of a giant coffee table NES controller.  Yes,  original Nintendo the greatest gaming system EVER!  Imagine playing Tecmo Superbowl, Excite Bike, or Tyson's Punch Out on this bad boy. Plus how cool would it be just to have this as a coffee table.  I'm sure all the geek chicks would be loving this bad boy.  This guy will make hundreds, no thousands off of this idea.  Or Nintendo will sue his ass for copy right infringement, Right?.  

Anyway this is bigger than that proton accelerator/ atom smasher thing anyhow.  That is if the world still exists?  They didn't send us all into a black hole for eternity right?  Maybe this explains the Brady injury and the TB Rays in first place.  Can this thing take us back in time? So many questions.  But the Nintendo coffee table controller is way cooler and obviously a bigger innovation for mankind.   And I thought I was a tech geek.

Red Headed Step Problem Child

Damn, That was a tough loss.  The Sox had em on the ropes with a huge two run homer by Jason Bay.  Then Paps gives up a homer to Don...Dan Johnson? and the shit hits the fan.  Paps was throwing gas but the pesky Rays found a way to pull more late inning heroics from their asses.  This guy, Johnson, was in AAA ball an hour before the game

 and comes up and jacks one off  Pap's 96 mph cheese.  Are these guys chasing the impossible dream?  

Man tonights game better go well or this division could slip away.  When you get them by the throat you have to finish them and the Sox let that chance slip away last nig

ht.  They had the lead after another smoke and mirrors Dice K performance had some good middle relief from Manny and Oki and Paps blows it.  Go Figure! 

At least captain Josh "Huge Balls" Beckett is on the hill tonight.  Hopefully the Sox can get back

 on the horse and put a dagger in these guys.  I don't think I could stand another loss this week after the Brady injury and trying to talk myself into thinking Cassel can win 8-11 games I don't think my stomach could take it. Hopefully I don't have to turn to the bottle.  This could get ugly. 

Time to beat the Rays like the Red headed step child they are.

   

Sox Therapy

After the horrible Sunday afternoon and Monday morning here in Title town we needed the Sox to take our minds off the Pats lost chance for perfection.  Well they took game one of the three game set at Fenway against the Rays.  While it didn't sop the pain it certainly reminded us that the Sox haven't had the last word in the AL East race yet.  Granted Edwin Jackson fared little a chance against Lester the way he's been dealing this year, but the Sox took an early 3 run lead and that was it.  Taking the division from these guys might be easier than I thought a week or two ago.  The Sox are hitting their collective stride at the right time and the Rays are showing little fight.  These guys deserve respect?  To quote Pedro "Who the hell is Gerald!"  

Thanks NY Post you just gave the Pats the best possible bulletin board material. Ohh and Bret thanks for also digging your nose in our business talking about the injury. See this isn't the NFC Central. The Pats won't roll over for your royal highness. I know ESPN pretty much blows you any chance they get; did you listen to the 1 billion references during the Packers Vikes game last night? See your in the Patriots backyard now and unfortunately the Pats defense will be taking out any slights against them on you number 4. You would never see the Boston Herald or the Globe celebrate when Pennington went down for the 50th time over the past 8 years. Hell they have enough on their hands at the Herald making up shit about the Pats. Mr. Thomase I'm looking in your general direction. I mean when Michael Felger takes the moral highroad and leaves your publication you may have some issues. I say screw all major newspapers. Viva el Bloggers!

Let the Hate Pour Down

I knew the Patriot haters would rejoice with the injury to Brady and premature reports of the end of the Pats Dynasty are begining.  Would someone do me a favor and post this not only on the Pats bulletin board, but directly in eyesight of Rodney:

Some Jack Ass 

NY Times Brett Favre's two cents

Thomase is obviously thrilled

The Chargers are cocky

Look this Pats team is still good enough without Brady to win 8-12 games.  Let's not get ahead of ourselves here and proclaim the demise of the Dynasty.  

What the F***! Think Positive

At about 1:15 p.m. yesterday the Pats season took the blow of all blows. The franchise went down with what is speculated to be a torn ACL. I like everyone else knew this was the absolute worst case scenario going into game one of the season. With the back up play of Cassel the Pats surely would take a huge hit, Right? Well all is not lost this team can win without Tommy, but will they win another Lombardi? Who knows? Will they win the AFC East? Tough to tell. Are the Pats still good enough to make a run? Yes! Losing Brady is devastating, but this team has enough play makers and Vets to make it to the playoffs at the very least. Fighting back thoughts of bridge jumping and looking at the positives you can see this benefits the team concept of the old school Patriots mentality.

Note to the kids: This is not how you tackle a franchise QB and face of the NFL.

Over the past 6 years the Pats have lived and died by #12. They have been a favorite to win the Superbowl the last going into the last two seasons. The point is Evey Pats fan knows Belichick teams play better as underdogs or at the least doubted. It may sound crazy, but I see the Pats feeling slighted that people will now downgrade their chances to win. Who would say the Pats can win the championship now? The Patriot doubters and haters will now come out full force and point their F'ing fingers, but the Pats won't quit. There is still a job to do and every guy in that locker room will tell you that. There won't be anyone feeling sorry for them and they know it. Does losing their franchise QB hurt their chances? Yes, but do they feel like they can't win big games when it is all on the line, NO. It will be an interesting season if Tommy doesn't take another snap. You will see Belichick bring out the Defenses best this year and see the offense find a new identity. Like it or not Cassel can be productive if he doesn't try to do too much. He's not in there to prove he's better than Brady he is in there to win games. Plus he still has weapons in Moss, Welker, and the four headed running attack of Maroney, Morris, Jordan, and Faulk. If Moss keeps his head up and stays motivated things on offense will be above average, not the record breaking stuff we remember from last year or hoped for this year. This year will be about the defense and I know I'm excited to see what they can do. I really liked what they showed against the Chiefs, yes I know it's the Chiefs, yesterday and they can build on that last big stand.

Is the Pats season over? No Did they loose a year of Brady? Probably Will the fans suffer? Possibly, but I'll assure you this season will be exciting to watch like the 2002 team was. At least I hope it is.

Questions? We talkin about Questions?

The Pats are set to open up tomorrow against Herm and the Chiefs. Some say this year the Pats have big questions regarding the offensive chemistry, secondary holes, and back-up QB. Well I say what questions. Have you seen this year's Laryokee hosted by the Pats vet Larry Izzo? This answers all those questions. Except maybe the secondary issues, but you know Ty Law is one call away. Gotta love it when your teams back-up QB can get down to NKOTB. Com on you know you sorta liked them too.

Buntin is a Habit. Put it in the Ayer!

Just like I said this is not your daddy's Red Sox team. They can hit the long ball, out pitch you, and yes play small-ball. The Sox proved they could get it done and beat you any way possible yesterday with an exciting 5-4 walk off win...On a bunt single by Coco Crisp; thanks to a pebble. The Orioles bullpen blew this one big time, but the Sox will take the sweep right on to Texas. Ohh and Pedroia hit another bomb to give the Sox their first run of the game. MVP??? I'm just saying.

All this while Tampa Bay is losing division games and can't bring in any fans while sitting atop the AL East in first place. 13,478 I'm pretty sure some High School football games I've been to have drawn more fans. But, when your team lives in Paradise where everyone is hitting the beach up I guess you have bigger things to devote your time to. Sorry Tampa Bay the Sox are going to rain on this parade. Not even you can stop it Dickey V with your upbeat attitude and wonderous ACC commentary. Take your PTP'ers & diaper dandy's on the Rays and shove em up your Arse. Ahhahahahahhahahhahahhaahhahahhahahahahhahahahahaaha!

By the way is this the greatest site on the internet or what? Is this a close second or what?

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey What is going on Here?

With the Pats a couple days from beginning another record breaking season in comes Pedroia and the Sox to steal the thunder. The Sox are in the middle of a great run for the playoffs and have started to establish themselves as a tough team to beat. Since dumping one of the greatest hitters ever to live the Sox have found their identity. At first they couldn't score runs that changed quickly and last night is a great example of that change. Pitching by Jon Lester got the job done scattering six hits, four walks, one run and getting some good team defense. But the hitting of the Sox was the story torching O's pitching for 14 runs on 20 hits. Ortiz had 4 RBI's while Pedroia kept up the MVP chatter with 5 RBI's, his 16th dinger, and 43 double on the season; all from the clean-up slot mind you.

This kid is playing on a different level. He is reaching Bird, Orr, Ballgame, and Brady level that you just don't see ever athlete reach. It happens when a player can't do any wrong they come up with the big shot, goal, hit, or throw when they need to. They drive opposing players and coaches crazy with their inability to make a poor play. It's lights out time where they can do no wrong. It is something fans are lucky to behold you know your guy is gonna take your team to the next level. Nobody saw Pedroia being this good, except maybe Theo (trading Hanley Ramirez) for know Pedroia was his guy. We are all just lucky to have this guy and this team that has found the chemistry to overcome the injuries and loss of Manny from the lineup. It seems every night another guy is getting the job done either in the field, on the mound, or at the plate. Hopefully the Sox can carry this over to the postseason when it matters. Something tells me they will or Pedroia will kick all their asses.
