I’m sure Bill Belichick has shown some lowlights this week of this 30-10 drubbing back from 2008. I had purchased tickets to this one in the middle of the summer, then Brady got hurt and well… needless to say it was little less exciting. I still can’t get the “we got more bounce in California” song out of my head.

The worst part of the whole day was knowing I would probably catch some flack about TB12’s injury, I mentally prepared a comeback. The Chargers had lost Shawne Merriman for the year as well so I told myself, if anyone makes a Brady ACL comment come right back with a Merriman comment.

Well, I’m walking into the stadium, decked out in Pats garb and some Charger fan comes up and pats me on the shoulder and asks “how’s Brady’s knee”. And what did I say back? Nothing. I froze. I blame the excessive amount of alcohol in my system. But it was a total George Costanza “that’s what I should’ve said!” moment. 

At least this weekend I’ll still be able to use Merriman as a comeback.

Patriots at Chargers Tailgate Plan

by

For those of you New England Patriots fans headed down to San Diego this weekend here’s what a huge clan of Pats fans will be doing. Barry Inciong organizes an entire weekend of fun whenever the Patriots play in San Diego. I’ve pasted in the itinerary below. I won’t be there Saturday night but hope to meet lots of Patriots fans at the tailgate on Sunday.

SATURDAY NIGHT PARTY

We’ll be having a private party at Players Sports Bar, 7061 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92111 on Saturday, 10/23 6pm – 8pm

Players is a popular Boston bar with plenty of Pats sports memorabilia and we’ll be in a private area with plenty of TVs.  It’s located just 1.5 miles from the Courtyard Hotel in case you want to cab it.  The Courtyard Hotel may run shuttles for us.

While we are hoping to have some special guests join us, we won’t know for sure until they actually show up.  If you were with us in Seattle in 2008 or Denver in 2009 you probably have a good idea of who has been invited.

We’ll have a salad, pasta and pizza buffet (soft drinks also included, bar drinks are on your own). Cost will be $20 at the door.  Advance payments are no longer being accepted.

A list of people that payment has been received from can be found at the end of this document.

TAILGATE PARTY

If anyone is going straight to Qualcomm early to get in as soon as the gates open (and not joining our caravan) please contact me as I’d like to have someone who can give us a report on gate openings, traffic, etc.


As we’ve done in past years, we’ll be tailgating right between G4 and H4 which can be reached through Gate 3 by going west to east on Friar’s Road.

Note that you do not need a prepaid parking pass to enter this area.  Parking is $25 per vehicle.  There is no additional charge for attending our tailgate party.


Rather than coordinating food and drink as a group, everyone should bring their own.  However for the benefit of those who are from out of town or are coming in on the trolley, I will have water, beer and hot dogs available for $1 each with all profits going to charity (New England Patriots Charitable Foundation Kick Cancer Campaign and San Diego United Way).

NFLN Lombardi: Branch vs. Moss

NFLN Lombardi: Branch vs. Moss

Really nice breakdown of the differences between what Randy Moss and Deion Branch bring to the Patriots offense. I didn’t feel it immediately but seeing Branch and Welker out there together is pretty cool. Nothing against Moss, but it didn’t take long for me to like the feel of this Patriots team with Branch instead of him better.

Reiss: Crable Adopts Worker Attitude

Sounds like my boy Crazy Legs has been keeping a low profile in the locker room when the reporters are around, but it’s good to hear that he’s doing well. He generated some good pressure against the Ravens, who knows if he keeps progressing he might see some time at a spot other than DPR (designated pass rusher).
