This feels like the end.

This current Patriots season has been off, it has been off all year. Whether it was losing to former player coaches badly, Josh Gordon’s drama, or now more recently the Josh Mcdaniels thingy its just an off season.

The defense has gotten better as time has gone on and that’s a tribute to the players on that side of the ball and the coaching of course. Tom Brady has been off, Gronk has dropped off the earth, and Julian Edelman is still screaming let’s go but nobody is listening.

It would appear that perhaps, and this is from watching body language (Para-language) cues all year that something final is happening this time in Foxboro. I will bet that win lose or draw this is it for Brady, Bellichek and Gronk. Josh Mcdaniels will probably be left with the task of rebuilding and trading or drafting a new quarterback in April. It is just a hunch, but body language often speaks louder than words, and this years words seem pretty final, win or lose.

Save your End of year advice.

As 2018 closes I am so over people coming out of the wood work to wish us all good luck in 2019. The contempt becomes palpable when somebody starts waxing philosophically, as if their nugget of wisdom might solve the worlds problems. Where were all those sparks of wisdom the rest of the year? Did you wake up today December 31, 2018 wiser? I think not.

Here are some random closing remarks. Share more, ask more, volunteer more, work out more, eat less, reduce your carbon footprint, be there more, be here less.

Happy New Year!

Begining of the end, or preserving the TB12 brand?

Tom Brady is showing signs of well age. Errand passes, interceptions and ghost rushers are starting to become part of the Brady legacy. Is Brady finally declining? saving it for the playoffs? or preserving the TB12 method?

If the Buffalo Bills come to town and win at Gillette, we can all start hoping Danny Etling will be ready to go in 2019 but who will his coach be?

If this is the dreaded final end to the dynasty, is it not a foregone conclusion that Brady and Belichek will depart together? Will Josh Mcdaniels stay and rebuild the Patriot way? We will have better answers Monday, lets hope its a very good Christmas eve.

It was surreal moment even for a White House accustomed to surreal moments.

During a meeting with President Trump, Kanye West delivered animated and wide-ranging remarks on issues from the 13th Amendment to U.S. manufacturing.

West spoke to reporters for nearly 10 minutes in the Oval Office. Wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, he repeatedly complimented Trump, who nodded in agreement.

West said he loved everyone — including Trump’s former presidential rival, Hillary Clinton — but he said he could relate to Trump’s “male energy.”

“It was something about when I put this hat on, it made me feel like Superman,” West said. “You made a Superman cape for me, also, as someone who looks up to you … looks up to American industry guys.”

After West finished speaking, Trump, who is known for his own stream-of consciousness speaking style, said, “I tell you what — that was pretty impressive.”

“That was quite something,” Trump added.

Absolute truth: I have had this head of lettuce in my refrigerator for 6 weeks, not one brown edge, not one leaf thrown away. Just pulled it out of the crisper drawer. What sort of nuclear-chemical madness is this, @greengiant? How can this be perfect for so long??
