I'm a life-long Patriots fan -- we don't get the media coverage out here like you get, Stephanie, but I've heard similar reports on ESPN about Brady. One of my bosses plays FF, and a few weeks ago, he said to me, "I got your Tom Brady as QB, so he better not let me down!" "My" Tom Brady? Don't I wish!
I told him I had my own doubts so soon after his injury/surgery. I missed last weekend's game because I wasn't home, but after I heard how horribly they played, I was glad I didn't see it. Yesterday's game wasn't televised out here, so I couldn't watch.
DH has been a Green Bay fan most of his life, but he said last night that he wants to also cheer for Favre and the Vikings this season, especially after that amazing ending yesterday! Next week's game should be great!
Also, I don't follow Detroit at all, but I'm happy for the fans and the city that the losing streak is finally over. I can't imagine how relieved they all are!
