The only thing getting me through this lack of sleep today is the fact that I'll be heading down to San Diego with the sister to watch this weekend's Pats game. This is the third year in a row that Mary and I have gone to a Patriots game and I really enjoy the tradition. I enjoy the leadup to the game almost as much as the game itself. It's one of the reasons I enjoy football so much - hanging out with family and friends, tailing gating, cooking big meals when the games are on national tv (which one hasn't been yet in 2008). So, despite my one month old baby keeping me and my wife up for most of last night I'm still pretty pumped to see some football this weekend.
Couple links to pass along:
Interesting note from Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post - One of the many things I respect about Bill Belichick as a coach is that when someone finds a way to attack his defense, the following week, the same plan won’t work as well. The 49ers tried to use a 3/1 formation to create seams, and the Pats did a very good job of handling the plan.
