Looking at their final 53 man roster reminded me that Paulson Adebo is on the team, in addition to Bobby Okereke.
Now that that skunkbear Brady and Belicheat are gone, I am cheering for the Patriots because it's the local team, but cheering for the Giants adds the bonus of annoying my Pats fan friends here.
Belicheat's new team not doing so well, UNC trailing TCU 48-14 late in the 4th quarter.....
10 years ago, Stanford was paddling Sonny Dykes-coached teams at Kal on a yearly basis, and we would point and laugh. Now Dykes takes the Horned Frogs on the road against one of the top five GOAT coaches of the NFL and doomhammers the Tar Heels. If a present-day gremlin went 10 years back in time and told us that Dykes and Belicheck would coach against each other and Dykes would win 48-14, we would be scoffing and going, "Wait, what?"
The slow one now will later be fast, as Bob Dylan would say......
