Patriots Tackling Week Two

Gronk finally makes how many touchdowns?

Pats Pulpit

Let me start off by asking this question, who's 40 and washed up? Not this guy!

In the New England Patriots second game of the season against the Saints in New Orleans, the "washed up" quarter back threw three outstanding touch down passes. Brady now also joins NFL history with former NFL quarterback, Warren Moon. Moon and Brady earned this by being 40 or older passing 400 yards or more along with three touchdowns in a single game. His passes were 30 for 39 with no interceptions. I mean, it could have been 28 for 39, but flags were thrown for two of the so called interceptions and were wiped out. (Elias Sports Bureau and Patriots.com)

In other news, Gronk made his 69th touchdown!!

But of course, how would it be a football game without any injuries? Gronk and defensive back Eric Rowe were out with groin injuries. Wide receiver Chris Hogan was on the bench with some sort of wrap on his right thigh, and running back Rex Burkhead receives a lovely rib injury. Gronk will be returning for week three, but Rowe, Hogan and Burkhead are questionable to return. (Patriots Wire)

It's great to see the boys bounce back from the "L" they took last Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs! I'm sure it was just them being so tired from all of the partying they did during the off season celebrating their Super Bowl win. ;) But you know they always make a comeback! Hoping and praying for no more injuries the next game (Totally just jinxed it, sorry guys)

Next game: Sunday, September 24, 2017 at Gillette against the Houston Texans.

P.S. I miss Vince Wilfork :(

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
