Could barely suffer through NFL game day listening to Marc Ross who sounds exactly like Donny Marshall. I thought it was him napping in and out of coverage and wondered how he switched to football.

Not going to lie, havent' really been into the Patriots this year, but seeing them beat the Bills is such a Belichek thing to do (especially for his 300th career win). Would like to think that this game today will be the turning point of their season - but I doubt it. They'll probably go back to stinking next week.

Pats will be lucky if they get 8 wins.

Anyone know why they are starting the season and opening night with two Western Conference games, as opposed to 1 of each??

True.

But the Pats are not that bad.

Yeah, I see them with more like 5 (maybe 6 wins) by the end of the season.
Not good enough to get more than a handfull of wins, but not bad enough to get a chance at a top pick.
TBH, I'm kind of surprised that Belichik actually signed that new contract. At this point in his career, I just don't see him signing on to a rebuilding project. Maybe he just really, really wants to get the #1 spot in all-time regular season wins?

Bill wants to win a SB without Tom Brady.

Maybe he just still loves football and money.

Most likely, I just don't see that happening ANY time soon! Right now the Pats are so far from a SB win, that it would take a miracle to get them there within the next 4 or 5 seasons (unless another Brady-like player is picked). I don't see a SB win in Mack Jones' future.

Caleb Williams might be the most overrated prospect we’ve ever seen with how much their talking him up that It’s actually a blessing in disguise to not get the first pick in my opinion.

No its weird, Bucks-Sixers or Celtics-Knicks followed by Lakers-Nuggets would have been better

Yahoo has been doing a player ranking series but it's 4 tiers rather than exact rankings.

Tier 1: Giannis, Steph, Luka, Durant, Jokic, Tatum.

Tier 2: Butler, Embiid, SGA, Lebron, Kawhi.

Jaylen is in Tier 3 and Jrue is in Tier 4.

Not terrible imo.

At least we can say the Lakers one is uglier than ours. Most of these are not good.

Why just city jerseys? Boston should have a town one.
