We’re now into the second month of the season and there are a few things about the NFL that we now know for certain. 1) The New England Patriots ARE Tom Brady, 2) Raiders owners Al Davis is more of a cartoon character than I am, and 3) the Bears lose to the teams they should beat (Panthers, Bucs), and beat the teams they should lose to (Colts, Eagles). That does not bode well for the Lions game. Will they find a way to blow it? Let’s find out.
