The big o show begins with their cutting edge analysis of TV commentators. You see, because they’re so great on their award winning tailgate show.

Writers like Rapoport crack me up.

What the heck does “feed the hot back” mean?

Hey Ian, some breaking news for you – the topic isn’t baseball – running backs don’t go on individually driven hot and cold streaks unless their playing with debilitating injuries. You either run well and see the holes, pick up blocks and make catches or don’t.

Pats defense is going to surprise people around here and when playoff time rolls around, I’m sure none of the local writers will be reminding us of what they wrote over the last couple of weeks about the team.

Mayo and Meriweather are going to make the leap while Bodden and Springs are much better than Hobbs, O’Neal, etc. The Pats are considerably faster and more athletic on defense than they’ve been in recent seasons.

We, as Patriot fans\local media observers need to stop with the “they’re all against us, why does no love OUR team?” whining. Nearly every local scribe has made them heavy Super Bowl favorites even with 6 new starters on defense and a QB coming off major surgery – name last team with that combo that got this much respect? And Felger has practically gone overboard in praising Mayo and was actually leading the pack in saying D had to get younger and faster. Sure Borges is a contrarian but he sticks out because he is practically a lone voice in the chanting, pom-pom waving crowd. Keep looking for the boogeymen and the haters but I’d rather enjoy the games and, like the overwhelming majority in the media, realize how lucky we are with this team.
As an aside – Bruce, solid start for ESPN boston. I like the site, they brought out heavy hitters right away with content(Gammons and Reiss) and chats (Bruschi, Gammons and Simmons). Guarantee their hits\traffic surpass all local sports media sites combined today.

Haven’t even played a game yet but the local can’t let go of the doom and gloom surrounding the Patriots. How soon until Felger starts ripping Mayo – you know because he’s so original and insightful.

Great article by Jackie Mac. I wish she wrote more.
