Food Rules?

Alright, Gentlemen,

A little pre-pre-season questioning . . .

What are the rules for food this year? Number of weeks between a dish? Number of dishes between weeks? How many weeks in a row can we have apple pie? How many weeks should Delaney bring Apple Crisp? Can we experiment with other dishes during pre-season? If a pre-season dish is deemed regular season worthy, will the same rules apply from pre-season to regular season? Oh, the stress! Oh, the strain! Oh, the excitement!

Shirts - Props or Poops?

I saw a couple of team jerseys the other day. One guy had a Trot Nixon shirt and I thought, "That's respectable. – Good guy. Clutch. Tough..."
Then I saw a guy with a Bledsoe jersey and thought, "I don't think so..."
What past players rate for you and when do they rate?

• Manny: Poops (someday... I don't think so)
• Brown - Troy that is: Props
• Garciapara: Poops (someday... Props)
• Orr: Props
• Walker - Antoine that is: Poops (someday... Hmmm No)

I don't believe that anyone has mentioned a national championship shed event, though, I see that JCONN has picked DUKE to "Go . . . All . . . The . . . WAY!" I can certainly understand the issues with back to back events on a holiday weekend, but, I was just wondering.

RIP: Mosi Tatupu

Former Patriots running back Mosi Tatupu has died at the age of 54, according to several news reports.

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin said Tatupu, a native of America Samoa who played 13 seasons for the Patriots, died Tuesday, but a cause of death was not known.

Barry Markowitz, a family friend, told the Star-Bulletin, "He had some health issues."

The Patriots drafted Tatupu in 1978 out of the University of Southern California. He was born in Pago Pago, American Samoa, and was a schoolboy football star at Punahou High in Honolulu. He held the Hawaii state record for career yards for 17 years, according to the newspaper's web site.

Tatupu was the head coach at King Philip High in Wrentham, where he coached his son, Lofa, who is now a linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks. He also coached running backs at Curry College in Milton.

Mosi Tatupu had 612 carries and 2,415 yards in his 14-year NFL career. After 13 seasons with the Patriots from 1978 to 1990, Tatupu played five games for the Los Angeles Rams in 1991 before ending his playing career.

Tatupu was primarily a blocking back and short-yardage specialist on offense, but was highly regarded for his special teams skills. He made the 1986 Pro Bowl as a special teamer and was named the NFL Alumni's Special Teams Player of the Year.

Tatupu played in 202 NFL games, including Super Bowl XX, when the Patriots lost to the Bears 46-10. He had 18 career touchdowns.

The first you ask...? A Patriots Super Bowl Sunday

No Go on the Pro Bowl

I'll be fit for a fight on Super Sunday though...

Withdrawal . . .

I'm sorry, but, it saddens me deeply that I won't be able to make it to the shed tonight. I have work to do and it is urgent that my client get it as soon as possible.

But, next week there will be no excuses! It's Superbowl Sunday! It's Shedsie Night! It's the biggest night of year at Shed 26! Pull out all the stops! Strap yourself in! It's going to be a bumpy ride!

I'm in . . .

Really?!?

Here is the only good thing about the Pro Bowl.

LIFE IS GOOD!

It's a gift! The best place in the whole world will be open for TWO GAMES sunday, not one!!!! May I extend my gratitude to "the powers that be" for their gracious understanding of the plight of man during the very stressful and nerve racking time know as "Playoffs!" And may I say to my fellow shedians, "Sheddie! It's ON!"

But I digress.

I wonder . . . could this monumental and historic gathering be a two pie event? Maybe, Apple AND Blueberry? Hmmm . . . the gratitude seems to so motivate it and demand it!

So, let it be written, so, let it be done!

It's good to be . . . The King!

It's better to be . . . A Shedian!

CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND

THIS WEEKEND HOLDS IN ITS HANDS THE FINAL TWO GAMES OF THE PLAYOFFS! COLTS AND JETS AT THREE AND VIKINGS AND THE SAINTS AT 6:30.

Doubleheader Sunday ?

Is there going to be a double header on Sunday at the Shed? I have basketball until 4:15pm . Just trying to plan out the afternoon.

SATURDAY NIGHT IT IS

COLTS AND THE RAVENS MADE THE CUT. WITH THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE AND FAN MAIL THAT I HAVE RECEIVED OVER THE PAST WEEK, THE SATURDAY NIGHT GAME IS THE ONE. SEE YA THERE TONIGHT. I'M OUT.

Saturday Night Works for Me ..... - FNG

Saturday Night

They smacked the Pats. Maybe they can jolt the colts. Go Baltimore!

2ND ROUND

HEY FELLAS I NEED SOME INPUT FOR THIS WEEKENDS SHED 26 SCHEDULE. THE PATS ARE OUT, BUT THE SHED IS STILL STANDING. IF THERE IS ANY PREFERENCE TO A GAME OR TIME PLEASE VOICE YOUR OPINION SO WE CAN NAIL DOWN A TIME. THE SHED26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND MAJOR SPONSOR FOR THE ALASKAN 500 DOG SLED RACE AWAITS YOUR PRESENCE, THE SHED26 MUST GO ON!

What the ?

Hey, the Patriots season is over, there's still more football to be played up until the SuperBowl. Also remember we all need to improve on our performances at the
Shed. SuperBowl Sunday at half-time the SHEDDIeS's will be given out to those deserving or non deserving in attendence.

BIRD HUNTING

TODAY MARKS THE DAY THAT THE CHARITY EVENT THAT MATT LIGHT PUTS ON EVERY YEAR IS TRANSFERRED TO GAME PLAY, SKEET SHOOTING.

LETS HOPE THAT STANDS UP WITH THE HORRIFIC LOSS OF NUMBER 83. HOPEFULLY THE PATS WILL PROVE THEY ARE A COMPLETE TEAM AND OVERCOME THIS ADVERSITY, RISE UP, AND GET TO THE NEXT ROUND. GO PATS I'M OUT.

Tears at your heart

A good guy goes down and it's painful to watch. Julian Edelman better step up and deliver this week against Baltimore. After all, he proved he's a gamer earlier in the year when Welker was out.

See all Shedians for an NFL marathon on Saturday. Beans...

Travel Team Pats and Tigers

Unfortunately the FNG and I will be traveling to Hudson for a game. Go Pats!

HappY new Year

BUFFALO-ED IN SNOW

THE BLIZZARD OF 2009 IS UPON US FELLOW SHEDIANS, BUT THE GAME MUST GO ON! AS WE BLOG THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND SNOWBLOWER REPAIR SHOP IS HEATING UP. FOR THOSE WHO NEED THEIR SHED FIX THE DOORS WILL BE OPEN. I MYSELF MAY BE TENDING TO OTHER TASKS AWAY FROM THE FACILITY. I LOOK AT IT IN THIS WAY ... SNOW HAPPENS AND YOU MOVE ON. ONE LAST NOTE: PATS 31- BILLS 24. I'M OUT!

Victim of scheduling

Cocoaboy is coaching a game over in Stow,MA today for my son Justin, 1:45-3:00pm,
then we have to buy a X-Mas tree, put up etc........... . I 'm going to have to take a LOA from the Shed for a few weeks so we can get our sh=== together here at home .

Home-made cookies

Nothin' says lovin' like some oven-baked peanut butter, chocolate kiss cookies. Mmmmm...

Oh, and a sausage & pasta garlic-fest. See at kickoff!

THE HEAT IS ON

THE OL' STOVE WILL BE WORKIN TODAY. SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND WALK IN DAY CARE, WILL BE HOPING TO HEAT UP WITH THE PATS HOSTING THE CAROLINA PANTHERS. HOME SWEET HOME, SWEET HOME ALABAMA, OR THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME, WHICH EVER YOU SUBSCRIBE TO, THE PATS ARE THINKING THE SAME THING.

ALL FACTS AND CONDITIONS COULD BE FALSE OR CHANGED BY GAME TIME. I'M OUT SEE YA AT GAME TIME OR WHENEVER MR. HART.

Membership Card Revoked...

Why did I have so many children? Brutal. 

It looks like this weekend will be a juggling act and next is in jeopardy due to basketball watching and coaching. I'll be rethinking my strategy for the 2010 season. I just hope my membership privileges aren't revoked... Maybe some chowdah, beans and peanut butter cookies will influence the judges.

Fear not, fellow Shedians!

I will be available to help tidy up access to the Shed while Andy is bolstering his coffers and my pie is cooking. We will miss those who cannot make it. As I have been made aware of those noble excuses of family, volunteerage, plowage (can't argue with making money!), and parading (I always love a parade!), as your King, I hereby grant pardon to those with such noble causes. Of course, it does mean less food to partake for those of us who do show up, however, on the flip side, it also means more pie. Mmmmmm, pie! It's good to be King! So, until our next Shed event, I wish you all well and may you all enjoy good tidings from The King. Adieu . . . .

Basketball, Parade, Wife's Party

I too will not be able to attend the Squish the Fish bash. I wil be coaching
a 4-5 Grade Basketball game, we have the parade and the wife has her work x-mas party. I got the kids .

Interference Call

I regret to inform you that I will be in Quabbin for the 5th grade travel team basketball game. While it's possible that I could stop in for the last 10-15 minutes of the Pats, it's unlikely. It is what it is. Go Tigers.

SHED-26 STATUS

FELLA'S, AS THE LOCAL 22 HEAD DOWN SOUTH TO MIAMI TO TAKE ON THE DOLPHINS, WE SHEDIAN'S ARE DEALING WITH A NOR'EASTER. ALSO IN THE FORECAST IS THE MAYNARD X-MAS PARADE. THE SHED WILL BE OPEN, I REPEAT , THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND BINGO PARLOR FOR THE STARS WILL BE OPEN. AS PRESIDENT OF THE SHED I WILL SEE TO THE COMFORT OF ITS PATRONS. HOWEVER, I MAY BE PLOWING IN THE A.M. AND LATER WILL BE ATTENDING THE PARADE. IT IS WHAT IT IS. I BELIEVE THE GAME WAS SCHEDULED ORIGINALLY FOR 8 P.M. DOESN'T THE NFL REALIZE HOW THIS EFFECTS THE SHED? PLEASE POST ALL QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS . I'M OUT!

I'm out for tonight

With Pats game tonight, Andrew's playoff game in AShburnham, MA on Tuesday and basketball on Wednesday. I can't make it. Too much time out of the house. Enjoy the game tonight Sheddies.

Patriots 31

New Orleans 28

Interesting things from around the NFL

In the NFL stats, there should be a notation next to Wes Welker’s league-high 79 receptions that reflects he missed two games, which adds more impressive context to the production!

One Patriots stat that jumps off the page: They own a 34:26-25:34 time of possession advantage over their opponents this season, best in the NFL.

Top 5 blitzing teams in the NFL
Jets -- 57.9
Saints -- 49.0
Eagles -- 46.3
Steelers -- 45.6
Bears -- 44.1

Peter King of NBC suggests that the Indianapolis Colts are a "very, very dark horse" to secure Charlie Weis' services in 2010.

Such a move presumably would entail a retirement of retired offensive coordinator Tom Moore from his role as consultant. And it would potentially place a thick layer of frost on Weis' relationship with Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.

During the first half of todays game vs. the chiefs, running back LaDanian Tomlinson leapfrogged Marcus Allen and Edgerrin James to take over No. 10 on the all-time rushing list.

Jets game Balls

Recapping Jets game-ball winners
November, 25, 2009

By Mike Reiss

Although the Patriots have put last Sunday's win over the Jets in the rear-view mirror and are now focused solely on the Saints, a look back at the game-ball winners:

Tully Banta-Cain -- In just 26 snaps, outside linebacker/defensive end plays through injury and totals five tackles (one for a loss), two sacks and a forced fumble.

Leigh Bodden -- Cornerback ties a Patriots record with three interceptions.

Mark LeVoir -- Offensive tackle comes off the bench in a pinch and delivers a crushing block on a receiver screen that highlights the physical edge with which the Patriots played.

Ty Warren -- Defensive end ties for the team high with six tackles, continuing to do the dirty work that is easy to overlook.

Wes Welker -- Receiver notches career highs with 15 receptions and 192 yards.

Maynard High Playoff on Tuesday

The Maynard High School Tigers football team will make their first appearance in the playoffs since 1987 on Tuesday at Oakmont Regional High School in Ashburnham at 5:15pm,
in a rematch against the Clinton Gaels.The Tigers enter the contest as the #8 seed vs the #1 Gaels,Clinton recently defeated Maynard on Thanksgiving 28-7. Maynard's last appearance in the playoffs was 35-0 loss to the Milford Scarlet-Hawks in the
the Div 1 Superbowl in 1987 .


Oakmont is 43 minute drive to East ................. Nice job by the MIAA in keeping the Tigers and Gaels close to home .

Tigers football make postseason

Unoffically it appears the Maynard Tigers are going to the tournament on Tuesday
against either the Oakmont Spartans or a possible Turkey Day rematch against the
Clinton Gaels at a site TBD .

Turkey Day

We all have a lot to be Thankfull for this Thanksgiving, for some of us it's been a tough year. A few surprises and a few shocking events thru out . Hey we all stuck together and have made out ok. God bless all of you, have a safe and enjoyable Turkey day. Happy Thanksgiving to all the shedians and their families.

Go Tigers.

good info on patriots vs saints

10 things to know about Saints
November, 25, 2009

By Mike Reiss


1. They are 10-0. Home games have come against the Lions, Jets, Giants, Falcons and Panthers. Road games have been played against the Eagles, Bills, Dolphins, Rams and Buccaneers.

2. Head coach Sean Payton is in his fourth year, and he calls the offensive plays. He previously coached on Bill Parcells’ staff in Dallas after stints with the Giants (1999-2002) and Eagles (1997-98).

3. Pete Carmichael Jr., who grew up in Medway, Mass. and graduated from Boston College, is the offensive coordinator. Gregg Williams is the defensive coordinator.

4. They have a league-high 29 takeaways, led by safety Darren Sharper’s seven interceptions.

5. On the flip side, they have lost 10 fumbles, with only one team losing more (Oakland, 12).

6. Quarterback Drew Brees is having an MVP-worthy season: 218 of 320 for 2,746 yards, with 22 touchdowns and nine interceptions. His 68 percent completion rate would set a career high.

7. Pierre Thomas (105 carries, 584 yards), Mike Bell (115 carries, 514 yards) and Reggie Bush (55 carries, 277 yards) spearhead an impressive three-pronged running attack.

8. Marques Colston is the leading receiver (44 catches, 687 yards, 6 TDs), followed by tight end Jeremy Shockey (39 catches, 461 yards, 3 TDs).

9. Categories in which they lead the NFL include: Points per game (36.9), total yards per game (420.5), total passing yards per game (266.2), percentage of opponents passes intercepted (20 INTs).

10. Injuries at cornerback are a primary concern, as starters Jabari Greer (groin) and Tracy Porter (knee) did not play last Sunday against Tampa, and top reserve Randall Gay left the game with what he said was a hamstring injury. They signed veteran cornerbacks Chris McAlister and Mike McKenzie over the last two weeks.

PAY BACK'S A B!@#$H !!!!!

ALL I GOT IS A HEADLINE. CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING TO SAY, I NEED A BIG WIN TO HELP ME FORGET ABOUT LAST WEEKS DEBACLE .

Good info

Stanback, Arrington gain some security

By Mike Reiss

In promoting practice squad players Isaiah Stanback and Kyle Arrington to the active roster over the last two weeks, the Patriots did not just fill spots on their current 53-man roster. They have also ensured that both players will be with the team in 2010.

Both Stanback and Arrington inked two-year contracts.

Stanback's deal includes a $25,000 signing bonus and has base salaries of $460,000 in 2009 and $560,000 in 2010. There is also a 2010 offseason roster bonus of $25,000. That is a generous contract for a player promoted from the practice squad and might reflect how the Patriots appreciated Stanback's contributions as their third quarterback while he was on the practice squad. While on the practice squad, Stanback traveled with the team as if he was on the active roster and helped with sideline management.

Arrington's deal does not include a signing bonus. It has base salaries of $310,000 in 2009 and $395,000 in 2010. There is a 2010 offseason workout bonus of $57,000, in addition to a $50,000 roster bonus in 2010. Like Stanback's deal, this is a generous contract for a player promoted from the practice squad. One factor might have been the Cleveland Browns' interest in Arrington, as they were attempting to sign him to their active roster.

Practice squad players become free agents after the season. While Stanback and Arrington could have re-signed with the Patriots, the team would have faced competition for their services.

What!?!?! Bill is HUMAN!?!?!? Nooooooo!!!!!

Barn burner in the making

Let the pre-game begin! See you all at the Shed-26 Sports Complex on Sunday night. Bring your appetite for winning football and your galoshes. It's going to get dark and stormy.

NEW ORLEANS SHUT THE WILDCAT DOWN BY BLITZING OFF THE EDGE; THE JETS ATTACHED IT IN SIMILAR FASHION, NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK THE PATS WILL DO. I SAY; IF SOMETHING AIN'T BROKE THEN DON'T FIX IT. BELICHIC , I'M SURE WATCHED BOTH THOSE GAMES AND IS READY FOR IT THIS TIME AROUND. I LIKE THE PATS BIG THIS WEEK. MIAMI ALSO HAS TWO ROOKIE CORNERS GOING UP AGAINST MOSS AND WELCHER. ALSO A ROOKIE QUARTERBACK FACING BELICHIC AND OUR NEWLY IMPROVED PLAY OF OUR SECONDARY. THIS SUNDAY, YES, WILL BE WILD, BUT I'M NOT SURE ITS THE WILDCAT THAT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE. SEE YA AROUND 1:00 SUNDAY. I'M OUT!

BELECHICKS PROTEGE, MCDANIELS HAS BROUGHT A WINNING ATTITUDE AND A CONFIDENCE THAT DENVER HAD BEEN LACKING IN PAST YEARS.
SKY ROCKETS IN FLIGHT! TOM BRADY WILL BE HEAVING UP HIS OWN SKY ROCKETS TO MOSS AND WELCHER. THE PATS ARE ALSO LEVELING OUT THEIR ATTACK BY USING THE GROUND GAME, MAN YOU GOTTA LOVE IT WHEN THEY RUN THE BALL!
FELLA'S BRING YOUR "A" GAME AND LEAVE YOUR 70'S SONGS AT HOME. THE SHED WILL BE OPENING ITS DOORS TODAY , UNOFFICIALLY AT 12:30 FOR THE SOX, AND OFFICIALLY AT 3:45 FOR THE PATS.

4:00 games! Beans, Broads and Bronco Beatdowns

GIT OUT YER SPURS, BOYS!

All right Patriot fans! It's time to break those bronc's!!! When next Sunday's game is over, another undefeated streak will have ended! With a typical play runnin' about 8 seconds, we're in fer a heap o' hollerin' and some great bronc ridin'! Yee-haw!!! Them ponies are gonna be safe enough for little girls to put on lead ropes and drag around a carnival!!!

RUNNING INTO WEEK 4

HEY FEELA'S ITS WEEK 4 AND THE PATS SEEM TO BE COMING TOGETHER. THE LOCAL 22 HAVE EVENED OUT THEIR PLAN OF ATTACK. FRED TAYLOR AND SAMMY MORRIS WITH TH O-LINE HAVE RIGHTED THE SHIP WHICH TAKES SOME PRESSURE OFF OUR # 12. THIS WEEK IS ANOTHER BIG TEST, THE BALTIMORE VAUNTED "D" IS ON TOP OF THEIR GAME AND THE OFFENSE WITH FLACO SEEMS BETTER THAN PREVIOUS YEARS. THE PATS D-BACKS HAVE BEEN HOLDING THEIR OWN AS WELL. THE PATS JUST NEED TO APPLY SOME PRESSURE ON FLACO AND THE GAME WILL BE THEIRS. KICKOFF ONCE AGAIN IS AT 1:00. THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND LUXURY SWEETS WILL OPEN ITS DOORS AROUND 12:30. SEE YA THEIR KNUCKLEHEADS.

Uh-oh!

Kevin, if your seeing shadows, you better go talk to your eye guy! That's probably not a good sign! 8-(

Hot Sauce

I'll be late but I'll be there. And I'll have something delicious to eat with me.
Beans? Chowdah? Sausage? Deviled eggs?... Only the Shadow knows.

Pats v. Ravens @ "The Razor"

That's right fellow Shedians! Our New England 22 are puttin' it on the line at home this Sunday! Though the numbers in the Shed have seemed to diminish by a couple, we should be at mid season for soon, and the spirit is as strong as ever! And, of course, the food, oh the food, is TOP NOTCH!!! So what will be on the menu this week with the new rules? Who will bring something someone brought last week? Will Buddy bring American Chop Suey? Will Bob bring sandwiches better than Jason's? Will ANYONE EVER bring cocoa again? Will Kevin ever bring warm food? These are the questions Enquiring Minds want to know! It's going to be a fun season! Come and join us, ah, what's your name?

PROTECT YOUR EYES, KEVIN!!!!

I hope Kevin brought eye protection! A catcher's mask would probably be best! And remeber, buddy . . . DUCK!!!!

J-E-T-S VS P-A-T-S

PATS, PATS, PATS! LETS CHEER ON OUR LOCAL 22 FOR A STRONG COMEBACK. LAST WEEK THE PATS SQUEEKED ONE OUT. THE JETS WITH A NEW COACH AND MORE AGGRESSIVE "D" WON'T MAKE IT EASY . THE PATS HAVE TO START THE GAME AS GOOD AS WE KNOW THEY CAN FINISH A GAME. THE PATS "O" VS THE JETS "D" IS GOING TO BE THE DIFFERENCE IN THIS GAME AND I'M GOING TO GIVE THE EDGE TO THE PATS "O". FELLOW SHEDIGANS THE SHED26 SPORTS COMPLEX AND OVER 30 WANNA BE'S EMPORIUM WILL BE OPENING ITS DOORS AT 12:00. GET THERE EARLY PEOPLE FOR SOME PREGAME. I'M OUT. PATS 31, JETS 20.

It's a GIFT!

The Bills gave the Pat's a gift tonight! The Pat's finished well, taking advantage of two mistakes made on the kickoff return by the Bills: first, taking the ball out of the end zone, and second, fighting to stay up when being tackled to allow the strip.

It was a frustrating outing for the Men in Red, but, they hung in and, as always, didn't give up!

Brady eventually looked like his old self; Welker got into his groove; Moss worked hard on the crossing and out routes; and Ben Watson stepped up and made the day!

The Bills played pretty well, keeping the Pats frustrated; but, the Pat's overcame their poor play in the first half to prevail in the end.

A great ending, but, let's hope every game is a lot less stressful than tonight's!

Next week: Pats at J-E-T-S, JETS! JETS! JETS! Favre-less but, Sanchez supplied. Should be a good one!

YEAH MONDAY!!!

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE PATRIOTS TONIGHT IN THERE THROWBACKS!!


OTHER THAN THE THROW BACK WE WILL ALSO GET TO SEE WHO THE REAL #81 IS IN THE AFC EAST. MY MONEY IS ON MR. MOSS EVEN THOUGH T.O. IS NO SLOUCH AND WHEN HIS MIND IS RIGHT IS A DYNAMIC WR.




I ALSO WILL MISS TEDDY BRUSCHI AND ALL THE JOY HE BROUGHT US FLYING OVER O-LINEMEN ON HIS WAY TO MAKING PLAY AFTER PLAY.

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!!!!

TO QUOTE A PHRASE OF ONE OF OUR FORMER LOCAL 22, TEDY BRUSCHI, " HOW DO WE LIKE PLAYING ON MONDAY NIGHT?....... OH YEAH!!!!!!".
FELLA'S MONDAY NIGHT , FIRST GAME OF THE YEAR, OUR QUARTER BACK- TOM BRADY IS BACK, AND THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX . WHAT MORE CAN ONE MAN WANT? WHAT MORE CAN CHARACTERIZE THE MOST WONDERFUL SEASON OF ALL?
THE 2009 PATRIOTS SEASON IS UPON US. THE SHED 26 WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME YOU ALL BACK AND INVITE YOU TO OPENING DAY - PATS VS. BILLS AND A SPECIAL HALF TIME TO HONOR #54 TEDY BRUSCHI. THE SHED 26 DOORS WILL OPEN AS SOON AS THE FIRST PATS FAN ARRIVES! SEE YOU THERE!

Monday Night Football - Cocoaboy

Cocoaboy has been invited again to assist Bill in the opener against the Buffalo Bills down at the Razor. Sorry, but when Bill B calls I have to assist, it's good for the Shed 26, sideline correspondent. I'll call in with updates from the field .

In Bill we Trust . . .

Who else wouldn't be surprised that Bill Belichick has a statistic telling him that 6'-6" 310 lb 29 year old linemen become 50% more injury prone after years of health, even in their final year of their contract, deminishing their effectiveness? Hmmm . . .

Unending Gratitude to Richard Seymour!

Thank you, Mr. Seymour! We will forever be indebted to your contributions to the Patriot's! Business is business, but, more importantly, as a man, you will always be a standout in the lives of many in the New England community! We wish you all the best!

Cocoa

Cocoaboy will not be in attendence at the Shed 26 tonight. Cocoaboy will be down at
the Razor helping Bill evaluate talent for the upcoming roster cuts .
