Happy Holidays
Just wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday. I hope everyone spends a few minutes this holiday season appreciating their families and their friends along with all the things that they have and all the liberties that they’ve been given. It’s important to take a few seconds to understand how fortunate most of us are. I also hope you take a few minutes to give back in any way...
Turnover stat: Patriots never a team to fumble... →
Six straight games without a turnover is an NFL record. It may not be the only record for these Patriots. The record for fewest turnovers in a full NFL season is 13 — established by the 2008 Dolphins (Parcells’s first year in Miami) and the 2008 Giants.

This is an everyman. This is the guy in front of you in line at the DMV, getting new plates for his pickup. If you happened to run across Danny Woodhead somewhere out in the real world, where, at 5-foot-8, he actually stands only one inch shorter than the average 25-year-old American male, you wouldn’t give him a second glance.
A-Gon to the Sox

Wouldn’t it be great if they’d sign Crawford now?

If you have a moment read this article. It’s absolutely insane what this computer virus did:
The construction of the worm was so advanced, it was “like the arrival of an F-35 into a World War I battlefield,” says Ralph Langner, the computer expert who was the first to sound the alarm about Stuxnet. Others have called it the first “weaponized” computer virus.
Simply put, Stuxnet is an...
