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 :(

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
