The weather has gone from snow to sleet to rain, and the winds are whipping here at Gillette Stadium, scene of Jets-Patriots.
The conditions are simply nasty, and it'll be interesting to see if the Patriots' offense can operate with any kind of proficiency.
A ride to the stadium that normally takes about 30 minutes took a good two hours. Tom Rock did yeoman's work in navigating the treacherous roads. Just another example of how valuable Rock is to the operation.
Weird visual: With snow and sleet covering the seats, and with tractors plowing the snow and slush off the field, there's a picture of a fireplace burning logs on the scoreboard. Is this supposed some type of reverse psychology?

So...uhh....bob....
any ballsy pronouncements before the game...?
If the Jets win this one, are you gonna eat a laptop?...
notebook?
egg white omelet?
Which is more likely to happen?...
The Jets winning the game outright, or Coach Bill inviting the New York reporters to his house for wings and beer?
go jets...
by the way...it's 72 and dry in my TV room...
enjoy the game
i got the jets winning today, even after kellen clemens' amazing first pass of the game and man-moron's decision to bring in pennington on 3-and-18 only then to take him out on 4-and-2 and go for it with brad smith.
I had Miami winning and the Jets losing. Sorry La Monica!
An interesting Turkish folk tale relates to the weird video of the fireplace:

You never know what interesting things a Cornellian might come up with.
hey hookslide.....you mean 72 in your bedroom......
Why does a Turkish folk tale have anything to do with Cornell?
After reading that one, it left me cold and hungry ... and, of course, optimistic about the future of humanity.
