What the hell kind of fan are you??????????????



Colts squeaked one out.. Now it looks like Cassel has some knee injury?

I'm the kind of fan that turned out a trip to Yankee/Shea Stadium the last year in each stadium this summer to go see Brady-to-Moss in New England, that lives in Arkansas and will probably only get 1 chance to see Brady play in his career because of the expense of school and the trip. This trip is costing me right around $2,000 and I can't just come up with that kind of money every season; I had been saving for quite some time to go to Yankee Stadium for the history-aspect, then ditched it for a Pats game. I'm just not the type of person that can say, "hey, i'm gonna go to a Pats game this year" on a whim, it's way too expensive and hard to do.

Of course I love the whole team and i'm still having trouble deciding whether I want to go or not b/c I want to go see Rodney Harrison, Bruschi and all the others and don't know how much longer they'll be around.. but if I can sell my tickets this year, i'll be going next year for sure when they play Carolina in New England. I'm not going to turn down a Yankee Stadium trip and not see Tom Brady in person if I can help it because that's the whole reason I decided to go.

Not trying to be rude, but don't criticize me for wanting to sell my tickets if it'll cost me that much to go on a one-time opportunity and not even get to see my favorite athlete play. I'm not one of those types of fans who jumps off the boat when something goes bad; I've stuck with the Pats for a while now and i'm not abandoning this year.. I have a lot of faith in Cassell and Belichick, I think they can win the division without Brady this year.

For real.. The Colts apparently had a pretty crazy second half comeback as well, that was nuts!

The Broncos shouldn't have won that game, they really blew that fumble call. That was bs.. so much for "the best accuracy", throwing a nice pick in the endzone.. wait, that must've been the plan

The colts game was awesome I was watching it at work.

The Patriots played very well, no mistakes and Cassel played like he needed to. Still the team in the AFC East to beat. Buffalo is looking good though.

Yeah, Buffalo is looking really good!! I think they'll give the Pats the hardest time within the division.. man, that team is looking solid

Here we go Steelers!

I expected the Steelers to have some points up by now

Game looks like a yawner. I'll tune in for second half....that worked for the Denver game.

There is a lot of rain and 50MPH winds.

RUN RUN RUN!!

Go Steelers, I suppose.

As long as Pittsburgh beats Dallas i'll be happy.

I hope Parker starts tearing it up.

Ben to Ward TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Picked off by Troy! WOOOO!

Broncos/Chargers: Well, Rivers filled in very nicely for Tom Brady, my FFL #1 pick.

Very exciting game but tainted by 2 very bad calls that went the Broncos' way.
Cutler made some mistakes but played very well. He was the guy who encouraged Shannahan to go for it on the 2 point conversion.

***

The NY Giants beat hell out of the Rams. Giants started off a bit slow on offense but really got it together by game's end. Justin Tuck is a mennace out there to opposing QB's.

Cassel did ok, he managed the game well we are just going to have to get used to a average at best offense this year. I am still concerned about playing better teams.
