Tom Brady, the All-American hero for the New England Patriots, threw 6 touchdowns for a career high, leading the Pats to 49-28 rout of the Miami Dolphins. Brady was unfortunately overshadowed in two aspects. Tennessee Titans place kicker Rob Bironas hit his 8th field goal to seal a 38-36 victory for the Titans over the visiting Houston Texans. He became the first kicker to ever hit 8 FG's in a game and set a record for points in a game by a kicker with 26.
On the other hand is the obvious, those Boston Red Sox. They completed a magnificent comeback down 3-1 in the ALCS against the Cleveland Indians to win the American League Pennant and advance to the World Series. Struggling through the first four games the Red Sox were reawakened in Game 5 thanks to a stellar performance by flamethrower Josh Beckett Friday night.
The big question at hand was, how would 40 year old Curt Schilling answer the call in Game 6? He pitched extraordinarily well, going 7 innings allowing 2 earned runs on 6 hits, no walks and scattering 5 strikeouts in a 12-2 rout of the Cleveland Indians. However we must not forget J.D. Drew's 1st inning grand slam off Cleveland pitcher Fausto Carmona in that game. Drew definitely regained his trust in Red Sox Nation especially with a particular friend of mine. (Can't call him Nancy Drew anymore)
Then came the pivotal Game 7 or as I like to refer to it as, The Night the Rookie Took Over. A night where Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz were somehow stymied by Indians junk-baller Jake Westbrook. (They were a combined 1 for 8 in the game, Manny collected an RBI single) It was rookie second baseman Dustin Pedroia who sealed the victory with a 2 run home run in the bottom of the 7th inning giving the Red Sox a 5-2 lead. He further contributed with a bases loaded double that cleared the bases in the 8th propelling the Red Sox to an 11-2 victory and giving them the AL Pennant.
So what more does Tom Brady have to do? If you ask me Tom just keep winning! Baseball is almost over. You'll get your curtain call buddy.

ReplyDeleteThe fact that Tom Brady can throw 6 TD's and be overlooked does not upset me, it makes me smile from ear to ear, you know why? Because it shows how consistent Brady is, it is no longer a surprise/ or a major story that Tom Brady is the best in the league, everybody knows it and in the coming months (Dec, Jan, & Feb) there will be plenty of Patriot/Brady stories, such as 16-0, Most TD Passes, & another Superbowl victory
So let everybody else have their moment in the sun, the Patriots already shine
Pat Pat Pat.....
