Nice to see you too, Ma. I wish I could answer yes to your question. It’s tragic for someone from my neck of the woods to say the summer has been a blur, but this one has.

I am not sure what to make of my Patsies this year.
I actually do think that they will be a better team, but I certainly do not anticipate any breaks at all from the Officials, or from the Media. Au contraire.
The Patriots have an easier schedule this year than they had last year. Still, an undefeated season though doable, is unlikely.
I have tickets for the Oakland Raiders game (in Oakland) in December.
