Right now I've got the Backyard Brawl on and I'm waiting for the Iron Bowl, which could be the biggest Iron Bowl in the history of Alabama/Auburn. While you're sitting around eating turkey sandwiches with extra mayo (that is if you avoided the Black Friday rush), there is some very, very good football to be watched today, tomorrow and Sunday.The thing I took from yesterday would have been Tom Brady's performance in the Patriots 45-24 victory. The guy just proves again and again on game day why he is the best Quarterback of this era, taking the torch from Joe Montana during my childhood. If you like football, this guy is absolutely amazing. He's probably playing better football than he did during his historic 2007 season by now going 199 straight passes without an interception.
Brady's continued dominance is what I'll take from this Thanksgiving day, but there were two more pretty good games to watch after New England blew out Detroit. It seems like the first game of the day is the one that sticks with you just because it's your first football fix of the day. It started out a competitive ballgame but Bill Belichick's band of football players got another big and impressive victory.
Not to be lost in the shuffle, the Jets kept pace by beating Cincinnati in the Land of the Sopranos 26-10. My boy Mark Sanchez brought the Jets back from a deficit but only threw for 166 yards and a touchdown. The wins by the Jets sets up a showdown for the NFL game of the year on Monday Night Football between the Patriots and Jets on December 6th. The winner of the game is probably going to be a home-field advantage candidate while the loser will battle it out for a 5th or 6th seed and get no home game. It's a playoff game before the playoffs are going to be played.
Now that Colt McCoy is potentially out for the season; I have to find some other team to hold my interests.
