Foolish Thoughts: Wherefore art thou Patriots?
These Patriots are clearly not the same team that we expected to see back on the field with Brady’s return.

Foolish Thoughts on Week 6: Last-second nonsense
Who is the better Manning now? I think Peyton Manning put ex-lax in his brother’s Gatorade this week. It was time to shut up the critics. Peyton gets three touchdowns; Eli gets three picks. At least in fantasy, it looks like Peyton may have reclaimed his top spot on the Manning mantel for now. And…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 6: Last-second nonsense
