You know what\'s funny? The Boston College Eagles football team is about to enter the Top 5 for the first time in their history, and not a single person in this town cares.
If the pats were 0 and 5, and the red sox finished below toronto, then people would be talking about the eagles.
It\'s not that they don\'t care, it\'s that there are more important things going on.
No. This town knows NOTHING about college football. There have been many years where the Sox and Pats were going nowhere and BC was ranked and bowl-bound all year, and people would only talk about the Sox and Pats going nowhere. BC rarely and barely makes the front page of the Globe sports section. You don\'t even see an Eagles picture or banner in any bar outside of Chestnut Hill. The Eagles don\'t even exist to most people, regardless of the team\'s success. They\'ll always be the #3 story, behind Sox offseason talk and Pats season talk and if the Celtics are any good they\'ll surpass BC too. It\'s kind of embarassing but oh well that\'s just how the town is.
Anyhow, amazing Monday night game tonight, I won\'t recap it here but go watch the highlights. The Cowboys
did barely win, but after looking like that against the 0-4 Bills you can say sionara to any chance America had to convince itself that they would beat the Pats next week. Some people had already told me to watch out for next week. Please. Turn the ball over 6 times against the Pats like you did tonight Romo, see where that gets you. Look, I\'ll give the Cowboys huge respect and say Pats 31-21. I mean cmon, the Pats have won every game by at least 17, so saying they\'ll only beat the Cowboys by 10 is giving the Cowboys huge respect. And Spacey, did you watch the game against the Browns? The only reason they didn\'t look sharp is because they didn\'t want to run it up against Romeo Crenell and Willie McGinest, so they just experimented with backups and weird formations in the second half. I mean, watch the game again...they are
literally running practice out there. They go to Stallworth all first half when Moss is available just to get Stallworth going and get him some touches. 1st and goal from the 2 late in the game, the Pats run the same play three straight times up the middle and tell them it\'s coming, intentionally not scoring. They let those guys off the hook and that\'s fine, those are old friends. If you want to see the opposite scenario, i.e. the Pats continuing to play all-out when the game is in hand, wait till the Jets come to Foxborough in December, the Pats might win by 40.
