That Adam Vinatieri is worth every dollar the Patriots pay him and then some. He's still a bargain at twice whatever they are paying him.

I had the Patriots 2-1 at this point, having predicted before the season began that they would beat Oakland and Carolina and then to lose in Pittsburgh. No way did I think the Pats would pull off another win in Pittsburgh. So this scenario actually works out better as the Pats are still unbeaten against AFC teams.

The Pats should cruise over San Diego next week at home but the Chargers are looking scary tonight. Then again, they really have it in for Eli and you can't blame them for that.

Both New York football teams are going to lose today and that's going to make for some fun reading in the New York Post tomorrow! Too bad the Yankees couldn't lose also.

Lousy Blue Jay bullpen. Let's hope they stink against the Sox as well. I don't have much faith in the Orioles doing much against the Yankees over the next four days either.

You can feel the heartbeat of Patriot fans everywhere slow down when Vinatieri walks onto the field.

I also thought they'd be 2-1 with a loss against the Steelers. This works out much better. The Carolina loss reminds me of the game they lost the 'Skins back in 2003. They played like crap and it motivated them throughout the rest of the year.

I have to disagree. The G-Men have come back from an 18-point deficit to make it 20-21 at the half. Eli's getting much better.

Then again, they really have it in for Eli and you can't blame them for that. Actually, yes I can. San Diego was compensated for trading Eli with Philip Rivers and several draft picks. Plus, think about Drew Brees; he definitely benefited. San Diego went 12-4 last year; the Giants went 4-12. To be blunt, it would be Eli, not Philip, standing on the sideline had the trade not occurred.

Both teams benefited from the trade (with a more long term benefit for the Giants, rather than short term). It's a shame Chargers' fans can't grasp that.
