Couch Potato's Delight

I was planning to write a season preview for the Patriots...and to follow up on last night's Red Sox loss...and maybe throw in a word or two about BC's victory over N.C. State yesterday. But I've worked the last 2 nights and I've also learned a thing or two about gloating over wins against Carolina teams (Mrs Potato hails from the Tarheel State).

Instead, I'm planning a long sojourn on the couch to watch the Pats take on the J-E-T-S Jets!Jets! Jets! at the Meadowlands. I hope it's an equally long day for Eddie the Fireman. I have a bowl of ice ready to soothe my aching thumb, which will be patrolling the remote between the Pats and the Sox, who wrap up their four game set with the Orioles today.

Speaking of the Birds, Mrs. Potato has taken to calling them the "Drill-ioles" after Cabrera's meltdown the other night.
