What? One short sentence on a new baby and then one huge paragraph on football. Where's the cotton picking pictures?

Inquiring minds want to know!!!! please and thank you

I had to go back and read his post about the games and confirmed he didn't even mention about the refs non Pass Interference call that gave the game to the Pats.

Oh no you didn't ! Those are fighting words with LS!

Backing up to unload the second load, the 2WD driveshaft broke. Both u-joints snapped off and a yoke broke. It is now loaded on the flatbed and strapped down.

No liking that!!! Now you have to get it towed and repaired? I wouldn't know where to start with something like that.

Another "tarnished" win!

Hope ya have a safe trip/visit GB. Yup, it's a bit chilly here

We made it ok..Not a bad drive at all. Less windy than it was at home, and temps were above freezing..they had a light dusting of snow or sleet the day before, but everything was cleared up before we passed thru Tyler.
Sure saw lots of cotton and a few fields of beans rotting in the fields north of Lindale and especially around Tira. Also saw lots of hay for sale tho.

I just fixed the same thing for a neighbor of mine a few weeks ago. Not a bad job at all if you've had much mechanic experience, and understand how those joints go together. IMO tho, the ones that use CV joints are a lot easier to work on.....a lot messier tho, with all that black sticky lubricant.

Really hated to see Mahomes' year come to an end, but the QB stats tell the story.
PASSING
N.E.
T. Brady...348 YDS, 1 TD, 2 INTS
Rams
P. Mahomes..295 YDS, 3 TDS
RUSHING
N.E.
S. Michel 29 ATT, 113 YDS, 2 TDS
Rams
Da. Williams10 ATT, 30 YDS, 1 TD
Live by the pass and die by the pass...
NE is just a better balanced team and doesn't reply solely on Brady to win the big game. Mahomes has carried the Rams all year.


The Non-call & Rams loss.... Hey, it builds character!!

(I had picked the Saints to win too)
(But, had it happened in the New England game, we can all rest assured Goodell would reverse the outcome in a heartbeat, as much as he hated having to give NE and Brady the trophy the last time they won the superbowl)

1 TD and 2 interceptions doesn't sound like a very good stat. I guess he must have gotten them close enough for the ball carriers to pull his fat out of the fire.

More than good enough.. to win, but the stats I was referring to were those that show NE and it's QB spreads it's offense around while the Rams relied too much on P. Mahomes.
Watching Brady driving NE down the field in OT it was pretty clear to me who the better QB was/is.

Superbowl may be a complete reversal, but the same QB appearing in 9 super bowls doesn't happen by accident.

That would be true!
