I've been to about 20-25 Pats games, with the most memorable being the 20-3 playoff win over the Colts in 2004. I've also been to 3 away games (Carolina, Miami, & Buffalo, all Pats wins!). It was so easier to get tickets pre-Brady...
In the league I've been running since the 90's, 10 of the 12 teams finished either 7-6 or 6-7, the team that everyone thought had the worst draft finished with the best record in the league (8-5), and the 3 highest scoring teams all finished 6-7 and missed the playoffs. Absolutely unreal...

HEAD COACH JON GRUDEN
(On Earnest Graham and Warrick Dunn)
“Warrick returned today and Earnest, we’ll see where he is on Wednesday. He hurt his knee. He has a chance to play in this game but I can’t really tell you anymore until...
But given the fact that very few rookie WR's get 70+ catches in a year (I think there has been something like 5 or 6 since 1991), and the fact that only 2 WR's (T.O. and Curtis) have had 70+ receptions since McNabb has been QB in Philly, there's no way he would have made the bet under those...
Let me restate it. If he has less than 70 catches, then I win, with the $$ winnings being equal to the # of catches. If he has 70 or more, the same is true, but for the other guy (i.e. if he has 70 catches, I owe him $70, if he has 80 catches I owe him $80, etc.)...
Yeah, it's not about the cash - a lot of guys in the league have known each other since we were in elementary school (we're all in our 30's now), so it's much more bragging rights than anything else...
I forgot to mention that - if he misses more than 3 games due to injury, the bet is off. But if he was suspended (or benched) for a game for any reason, that doesn't count as a game missed...
So in the league I've been running since the 90's (live draft, 12 teams, PPR), one of the guys took DeSean Jackson with his 8th round pick, and was boasting that he'd catch at least 70 passes this year (after a relentless thrashing by the entire league for taking him so high).
So the two of us...
