Pats on TV

The historic game between the Patriots and Giants this Sunday will be televised on CBS and NBC. Previously, this game was only scheduled to be shown on the NFL Network. The NFL Network was hyping this game like none other and put together a package of 63 hours of pre-game show. This included replaying 6 of the Patriots games from this season. But now that everyone can watch the game (inluding me), the Angry Californian has nothing to be angry about. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and look forward to a Happy New Year.

P.S. The '72 Dolphins only won 14 regular season games. They didn't play a single team with a winning record. Their opponent's combined winning percentage was 36%. The '07 Pats have already beaten the Chargers, the Cowboys, the Colts, the Steelers, playoff teams and winners of their divisions. In my mind, win or lose on Sunday, this Pats team is already a step ahead of the '72 Dolphins. While I'm not a fan of the Pats, I am a fan of good football; and no other team has played better football than the team we are watching this year.

Rock Bottom

Hello Cal, welcome to Rock Bottom. Please, don't even try to crack a smile, as you will most certainly not enjoy your stay. Whether you win or lose against Air Force at the Bell Helicoptor Armed Forces Bowl, this season will be known as the worst season in recent memory (a.k.a, the Tedford era).

Let's see whose gone: Desean Jackson (Yes, he's not staying), Lavelle Hawkins, Robert Jordan, Justin Forsett, Thomas Decloud, Nate Longshore (I wish).

Let's see whose going to be around next year: Kevin "Wiley" Riley (Yes!), Nate Longshore (Boo!), Jhavid Best, James Montgomery, Alex Mack and the whole Defense less Decloud.

I'll be extremely dissapointed if Longshore is starting next year. Notice that we have no wide receivers coming back. I don't want to see Longshore try to throw to freshman wideouts. His 4th quarter stats this year has been so extremely abyssmal, it's borderline comedy. But we're not laughing. I'm eager to see more of this kid, Riley. I still watch the Oregan St. game, this kid is gonna be a star.
