Some last things to pass along before the weekend hits and I disappear into a fog of naps, shopping, cooking and of course the highlight, football watching. There will probably be some diaper changing and bottle feeding in there as well, along with a dash of tummy time. Such is the life of a Patriots Fan/Dad.
This will be the first significant gathering for a Pats game this season as it's first weekend game I have actually been home for. The new plasma screen should be a brilliant addition. Now I'm still just debating what to cook - Jambalaya or Pulled Pork Sandwiches. Hopefully Lil' TD fits into his Patriots onesie that his Grandma Nan got him, he needs to start showing support, he's almost 2 months old.
So on to some links from around the interwebs. I have found in my web travels today that there's a about a 66% rate of the Colts being picked to win, which I actually find kind of low. Here's ESPN's Intel Report about the game. Surprisingly the EA Madden simulation has the Pats winning.
Finally Pro Football Weekly posted this today, and this is the first time I've heard Mike Vrabel called out. Yes, he has been noticeably not on the field lately and Pierre Woods and Gary Guyton both seem to be getting more time. Maybe Vrabel is slowing down but all that can change in one week. Keep an eye for him Sunday night. If the Pats open in a 2 linebacker defense there's a good chance Vrabes will not be on the field. Hopefully he makes a big play this weekend and turns it around.
