The Fins purposefully designed Hard Rock Stadium so that the visitors would be in the baking sun and the home team would be in the shade.... that might have something to do with it.

It was filmed in the Austin area - the two main kids (Owen who uses the adaptive control and Gunnar) are actual best friends since kindergarten. There was a big article about them in the Austin paper.

Man, that's just silly. Brady has done more with less talent for years. He has absolutely no deep threat this year and many years for that matter. Manning had a Hall of Fame running back and receivers

Yup. we were talking about that last night... the only real deep threat that he had was Randy Moss for a few years. While Wes Welker and Julian Edleman have been reliable journeyman WRs, I don't necessarily consider them to be deep threats.

But that is fine because I'm not sure if the deep ball is his forte.

Not the score I was expecting....our offensive and defensive lines have played out of their minds the last few games. And that play by Jason McCourty to prevent a TD is definitely highlight reel material. As much of a savant as Belichick is (and he IS a football savant), these players still have to execute and somehow they always (ok, almost always [emoji23]) manage to do so.

So today I’m hanging out at Disney World with a couple hundred thousand of my best Pat fans checking out the GOATS [emoji16]

I'm guessing the Patriots and Dolphins won't be meeting in the Super Bowl.

The Pats lack of success vs the Dolphins in Miami probably won't help another AFC team get to the Super Bowl.

.

Journeyman? I don't think so. I'd add Jordy Nelson (ex-Packer) to the group and see all three of them as HOF candidates. It's guys like these that keep the drives going that allows the deep threats a chance to be deep threats.

Edelman the MVP is a super freak. He must be spending quality time in the gym. Think he's got a few more years left in the tank.

Cough, remember his PED suspension, cough.

I don't disagree and perhaps I chose the wrong word, it is just that I view Edleman and Welker as different WR from the speedster/deep threat type like Moss and Rice.

I didn’t see this companion piece when it aired, but it’s about just this planning effort for the flyover:

Yes, I saw that piece. Impressive timing.... especially at 400 mph.

Breaking news - Robert Craft owner of Super Bowl champion New England Patriots has a warrant for his arrest. He and 100 other men were caught in a police sting in Jupiter Florida in a day spa soliciting sex. Looks like the day spa gives more than massages.....

Sounds like they got the wrong guy. The Patriot's owner spells his name Kraft.
