16-0. Eyes on the prize now. Go Patriots.















I've been a Randy Moss fan since his Viking days. I've never seen a wide receiver move with such quickness and versatility the way he does. With Tom Brady as his quarterback, the possibilities are endless. I knew they were going to go far this season. A bit overwhelmed though with what they've acccomplished.

Lots for the history books

::Patriots are the first NFL team since the 1972 Dolphins to win every game on the schedule going 16-0 this season


::Brady has 50 TD passes for the season, breaking Peyton Manning's 2004 record of 49

::Moss now has 23 catches, breaking the mark of Jerry Rice, who did it in 12 games during a strike-marred 1987 season

::Pats have a record 582 points for the season. The old mark was 556 by the 1998 Vikings.

Now, it's not all about Brady and Moss since they have a good supporting cast that keeps their backs covered whenever they need it. Brady's plays couldn't have been made without their defense and his offensive guards and tight ends.

Next stop. the Championship.

Our deepest Fear

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

-Timo Cruz (Coach Carter movie)
