FOXBOROUGH, Mass. —How does 73-0, Patriots, sound?

The Belichickmen are playing the Broncos tonight in the latest Game of the Millennium, and everything is going New England's way. Again.

Could this be teed up any better? Could things be any easier for your Patriots?

Does the media just not care about sounding like idiots? They must not.

Wha--the Broncos are underdogs in this game?

Is that what the 13 1/2 point line in Vegas means?

When rc shows up lets all go over to the positive only gameday thread.

I'm more excited and less nervous than I was last week. We've got nothing to lose. The pressure is all on them.

Go Broncos!!!

Slick just posted this in the game thread, and I'm pretty sure this is the other side of the coin to the hyperbolic point that Shaughnessy is trying to make...

I think alot of it is to keep viewers tuned in. Manipulation of the masses by the select few. If I can share anything in this crazy thing called life, it would be that people are sheep. Do something extraordinary. be weird

Personally, I love it. I suspect that this was a little bit tongue in cheek, but if that's the attitude of most of the people out there, the Broncos can play fast and loose. They have nothing to lose, so go out have fun and fly around. Maybe something miraculous will happen. If not, well that's what's expected anyway.

I was thinking this must be tongue-in-cheek too, but I got to the end without any hint that the writer was being hyperbolic.

I dunno... is it possible he really feels this way? Seems ludicrous. Sure the safe bet is taking the Pats, but 73-0. Really?

Fair enough... have to say though. His writing sucks. If you have to know his history in order to tell if he's being sarcastic, that's just not good writing.

Probably. Bob Kraft hates Shaughnessy as he always finds something negative to write about concerning the Patriots.

Since there's not a huge amt to be negative about he writes a tongue in cheek article.

One more thing, every year Bob Kraft throws a wonderful party at his house for the media. It's a great event. He pretty much sends every media member a personal invite except for one person - Dan Shaughnessy.

Yeah, Shaughnessy doesn't think the Patriots are very good, despite their record and home field advantage...so I think the Denver Post publishing this one piece of his doesn't really capture what his point was...

Yea, i heard that before. 18-1. Nuff said.

Is it just me, or does this game WREAK of history? History as in the 1996 division playoff game against Jacksonville. We mocked them all week and that they had no chance... And look at what happened.


Like the famous saying goes, "If you don't learn from you're past, you're DOOMED to repeat it!!!"


GO BRONCOS!!!

Do you really mean 'wreak'? Or do you mean 'reek'. Neither word really fits here.

Anyway, enough of being word choice police, Go Broncos.

The D is something to be negative about. 17th against the run and 31st against the pass? It's a darned good thing for ya'll you pass so well, because with that erratic running game you'd be in real trouble without it.

This game reminds more of 55-10 vs SF, or perhaps against the Raiders last season.

This team didn't even to deserve to be on the field.
