Oh, and some football happened here, too. Seven Super Bowls have been played in the 76,468-seat space-ship theater they now call the “Mercedes-Benz Superdome.’’ This includes three ultimate games that involved your New England Patriots.
This is where the Fridge scored a touchdown and the Bears crushed the Patriots in New England’s only Kraft-less Super Bowl. This is where Desmond Howard kept returning kicks before the Packers beat the Drew Bledsoe Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI. And Bill Parcells didn’t fly home with the team.

A Superdome Story
The New England Patriots won yesterday, 36-20, over the New Orleans Saints. Since the Boston Globe paid for his trip to the Big Easy, he's obliged to write something.
I'm shocked, Captain Renault, SHOCKED to find Shank couldn't even note how the Patriots scrapped their gameplan from the Chiefs game and went back their bread-n-butter attack.
ReplyDeleteDarn, Shank is slipping - he seems to have missed the two shootout games at Gillette Stadium followed by the low-scoring grinder at Raymond James Stadium; he coulda beena contendah, Marlon Brando, by repeating all the nostrums about the failure of the defense, the sacrificing of Brady because of poor O-line play, and called for voiding the Stephon Gilmore trade while attacking Belichick for "not giving respect to Malcolm Butler" (and ignoring Butler's freelancing that got him demoted), and of course how the Patriots don't deserve to be 3-2 and how the Bucs were not a real team (and thus being able to ignore the fact the defense changed to adapt to the strengths of the players they have and results showed accordingly).
ReplyDeleteMust have been all that focus on the Argyle Sox and Jessica Moran's manager.
