Go Pats!!!!

[Just Sold]

They Score Again - 31 to 10. The Pats are Awesome!!!

[Pepper]

It looks like my old hometown - Phila. PA will be battling my new home - New England ! How totally cool is that. I spoke to my sister and informed her that the Pats will be kickin' the "Iggles' " butts!

Woooooo HOOOOOOOOO!

Steelers? Are they still around??????????????????????

[glennsteely]

Everytime I post a thread about sports, it gets bumped......what about freedom of speech? I thought New Hampshire was the live free or die state. I am beginning to think my threads are not welcome here, is it because I am not a local? Congratulations Patriots fans.......and......welcome to the terror dome....it should be a good game, but my money is on the E.A.G.L.E.S......EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rattlesnake Gal]

Technically the forum isn’t supposed to have politics or sports. People get more than a bit passionate about both. Besides, you’re an Eagle’s fan!
New England is our team, and they rule!

Sorry Don - In the excitement of the moment - momentary mind loss!

[Grant]

Uh...I meant BALD Ealges! Yeah, that's it. Nice birds. Wish I could see one.

[ITD]

Yeah Glennsteely,

I tried to comment on the game last week and it got bumped, then I reread the FAQs. Not complaining though. The rules are why this is a great forum, the rules keep it clean and focussed. Sports, politics and bike week discussions can get ugly quick if not for our webmaster...

Go pats......

[Chris Exley]

I love New Hampshire, so my second favorite team is the Patriots, but sorry, gotta root for the hometown on this one. Plus, you already got a championship this year with the Red Sox. Don't be greedy, now. Spread the wealth.

In keeping with the “Forum rules”,,,

Is there a good sports bar in the Wolfboro area where a person living in, going to, dreaming of being at Lake Winnipesaukee” can go and see the PATS beat the Eagles??

Sorry Don, just had to do it.

ToW

[webmaster]

Don't get me wrong, no one is a bigger Patriots and Red Sox fan than me. It's just that this forum has always been completely dedicated to the Lake Region and I prefer to keep it that way. When I've taken polls and asked if I should allow politics or other unrelated issues in the answer has always been a resounding NO.

The way I've handled it over the past few years is to allow a single thread when the teams get to or win the championship. I'll let this thread go so please limit Patriots talk to this thread.

ToW has found the perfect way to connect the Superbowl to the Lakes Region. Information about places in the Lakes Region to watch the game or attend a Super Bowl party are certainly relevant and allowable.

Don

[KonaChick]

OK here's one that should relate. How many of you have seen or know of Pats, Sox, coachedor players who have places at the lake or have seen any of them up here. I used to see Charlie Weiss(sp?) all the time at Heath's in Ctr. Harbor but haven't the last few summers.

[Just Sold]

Sorry I only know of the Jets Athletic Director being at the lake all summer until early August. I have seen his boat.

A Bruins player had a place on Rattlesnake many years ago but I cannot remember his name.

There has to be one or two current New England sports people on the lake.

[upthesaukee]

Thanks Don for your "exemption" this year...Seems kinda special with the Sox and the Pats lining up to be champs the same year.And I do agree with past polls...that's what makes this forum so great and focused. But..........go Pats!!!!!!

[Grant]

There's a Bruin (former), whose name escapes me at the moment, who has a place over by Rum Pt. Scott from Dive Winni pointed it out last summer.

Now this is going to bug me until I remember who it is (which will certainly occur @ 3 AM).

Lots of Eagles sighted around the Lake, judging from posts to the forum. This is a good thing. A very good thing. I love Eagles. And I consider myself a Patriot. This does not make me schizo...

Steve Leach maybe?

"Great place to watch the Super Bowl" !

(((((((((( GO PATS ))))))))))

[Rattlesnake Gal]

Does Patrick's get real smokey?

[tricia1218]

Friends saw Pat Burns of the Bruins at the Broken Spoke.

>>Seems kinda special with the Sox and the Pats lining up to be champs the same year.

Chris, Upthesaukee, How quickly we forget! :-) It's already been done. That was last year! 2004 - Pat's win Super Bowl in February. Sox win Series in October. Now we're just setting up for a repeat in 2005!

We watched most of the Sox games and playoffs at the lake with friend and neighors. Perhaps we'll need to go to one of those Lakes Region bars to watch the Super Bowl. (one for Don)

Go Pats!

[glennsteely]

BUT, I see other people do it and it is ok, I do it and bump time! It just seems a little partial, borderline discrimination even. I guess its a New Jersey thing, and I am from New Jersey, and I am an EAGLES fan, for life, and I guess that makes me a low life on this forum......but, I am sorry to say, the only rings you are going to see from this game are the bells that Brady is going to be hearing when Brian Dawkins puts the mash on him in the pocket, he wont be seeing rings, but hearing them, what he will be seeing is little birdies.....oh, would they be EAGLES? Or, maybe he will be seeing stars.....there are enough pro-bowl players in our secondary for him to be seeing stars, everywhere he looks......there, I have said my say, and really, I just hope for a good, clean game of football, where no one gets hurt, that we can all enjoy.

I love you guys, and I wish the pats the best of luck, but I still hope we win.............Glenn


Go Eagles!

[dpg]

Glen: I understand before the game the players will be comparing rings. Lets see one, two and for the Eagles? oops sorry!!!

[SIKSUKR]

You can't be serious. I can't beleive glensteely beleives what he is saying.The Eagles are going to stomp on the Defending Superbowl champs who have 1: Just humiliated the best offensive team in the league and 2: just blew out the best defense in the league.They can beat you any way you play.On the other hand,Philly has played a very weak NFC and the in the playoffs have beaten two pretty average teams.Lastly,by the way the Eagles were celebrating,they won their Superbowl last week.Can you say DYNASTY!!!

[glennsteely]

DYNASTY IS THE COWBOYS IN THE 90'S I AM SORRY TO SAY THAT YOU GUYS ARE NOT THERE YET!!!!! I am also sorry to say that the rings they will be comparing before the superbowl will be ring tones on nokia phones......you will see, my friends.......when Brady takes that first hit, when one of our squad gets through that weak and undersized offensive line of yours, and I say one because you never know who it will be, Dawkins, Trotter, maybe The Freak.....M. Lewis, Dhani Jones......it comes from everywhere, all angles, every cleat hole in the field will have an Eagle popping up, looking at Brady, ready to clean his clock and make him hear his own version of AC/DC's Hell's Bells. Not in our house is your teams motto, but we are not playing in your house, and even though we are meeting in Florida, I am sorry to say.....it is our turn. We will beat the Pats and when we do, expect to never hear the end of it from me.

By the way, the colts, while having their strong points, were not the best offensive team this year, in stats, maybe, but you know, if you know anything about football that if they were the best....they would be there....Same thing for the steelers, the best defense? Get real. stats again I guess, numbers do lie and lie often, they couldnt make it in the play offs with a rookie qb, even if he is the best rookie qb to come out of the draft in a long time, it is too much pressure for a guy with no experience in the big games.....Brady is a target for Jim Johnson and the boys.....we will show you the best defense in the nfl, your teams so called die nasty is suspect brother. Glenn

glennsteely,

You got a mouse in your pocket???

Don't give me this 12th fan in the stand stuff, the field is basically neutral. What position do you play? Can’t wait to see you on the field.

But you are an Eagles fan and that’s good with me.

As I sit in the sports bar in wolfboro watching the PATS beat the Eagles I’ll be looking for you to make the play of the game.

Thanks for the laugh. Here I was coming to work 2'nd shift, facing a snowstorm to drive home in next AM and then there was your post to lighten my day. Your talent for balderdash is refreshing, bravo, well done ! I'm disheartened to see you so sorry but then again what else could be expected, you're rooting for the wrong team. As for the dynasty bit you are correct but the operative word is yet. Dynasty now .... no; after this SuperBowl ... yes.

[Grant]

If the Pats win this year, and on paper they should, then they've officially earned the "dynasty" label.

And I say this as a lifelong Eagles fan.

However, Pats fans and fellow Lakelovers, keep in mind that the Pats started this "dynasty run" by entering their first Super Bowl as a 14 point underdog.

And, as we know, when it's a single game, anything can (and often does) happen.

Just my $.02...your mileage may vary. My last comments on Pats/Iggles.

Go Red Sox.

[trfour]

Try it, you will love it!.... I think that they have more none smokers than any place around the Lake.... If you visit and do not agree, tell them about it!
trfour

Buy the way, Pat's are better than six point favorites, going in.

[lacey]

What's everyone doing to celebrate after the Patriots win their third bowl?

[KTO]

Win or Loss, let's hope this board is closed by then, or we may see a lot of "interesting" new posts!

[Lady Di]

You must respect the rules here, if you want to play. But you may only talk about NH weather, NH water, and NH places to eat.

You may not put down anything NH.....unless someone else does it first, and then you must be careful about what you agree with.

I fully respect the rules.

No disagreements about trials, boat sizes or taxes. Unless you want to disagree.

I really do respect the rules.

And my husband just told me that "New England is leading" 14 to 7. So, hopefully, nobody, especially Don, will come down hard on me for this.

Glenn.........I feel yer pain.....

[KTO]

And now it's 21-14 in the fourth quarter. . .

GO PATS!

[mcdude]

PATRIOTS RULE ! !

[KTO]

I would like to take this moment to say:


HEY GLENSTEELY! PATRIOTS HAVE WON THE SUPER BOWL!

[Lady Di]

The Patriots are the champs.

So, with this win comes the opportunity to talk about things other than the lake. I will be in trouble, and if that is what Don has to do, I will feel really, really bad, but I need to know where I can talk, FREELY, about things New England. I love "THE" Lake, but it's not all there is in New England. If someone can direct me to a site where I will not be so restricted, I would appreciate it. TIA.

Stay safe, all, and don't forget to check out www.thatjoshgrobanguy.com and look under media......2002 "O Holy Night"....or anything else, for that matter. It will give you all something (else) to do while betting on when the ice will leave.

[upthesaukee]

Congrats to the Pats players and coaches.


Congrats to the Eagles team as well.


A few plays going a different way...good game over all.

Now back to the lake!!!!!!


And Thanks Don Z. for allowing this thread to go on.

[KTO]

If you can't find a place to talk about everything (that you want) you can always create your own forum!

Proboards

[Lady Di]

you guys did it!!!!!!!

[GTO]

Patriots eat up Eagles!!

Glenn eats Crow!!

[Mee-n-Mac]

Well it's over and done. As expected the Pats rule but Eagle fans can feel good in that the game was a close one. I guess it just wouldn't be right with out the Pats winning via an A.V. field goal. Neither offense performed that well and there were enough missed opportunities to keep fans on both sides going "if only ...". Now I'm off to have some pie ... aaahh that would be blueberry pie !

[Lady Di]

Thanks for the suggestion.

I can navigate just fine, thanks. I don't want to start up my own board.....too much trouble. If you don't mind, I would just like to post here once in a while. Thanks.

[ApS]

Lady Di, I see you listed your home town as "Grobania".

I always thought that was Gro (Grow) plus Bane (Bane, a word meaning ruination) + "ia" (a common suffix). Put another way, that you lived in a big town, ruining the natural environment. (Like Orlando). Now I know better.

Thanks for the link. Haunting melody and excellent promotion. I've added the first page to my "Favorites", hoping to play it at Winnipesaukee's edge while I peruse this Forum during games that I don't watch.

[Lady Di]

At first I didn't know where you were going with that, and I got all nervous. But I am happy you like Josh's music.

Now..........back to the lake....

[SIKSUKR]

OK,I have been biting my lip for two weeks listening to GS.No more! I would like to thank Glenn Steely for reminding us Pats fans why we are the CHAMPS and the rest of the league are also rans.You DON'T RUN YOUR MOUTH!!That's not how to win a championship.Shut your trap,practice hard,play as a TEAM.No look at me mentality like Owens flapping his wings when they have not even scored a point.Thanks again TO for adding more fuel to the fire.The Pats were all too happy to mimick your foolish dance!Act like you've been there before.Oh that's right,Phili has not been there for 23 years and has NEVER won a Superbowl so we understand.How would you like your crow prepared GS?Yes,I am gloating a bit but we have earned the right to. Congradulations 3 time Superbowl Champion New England Patriots!! Having said that,I do think T.O. played great and Westbrook and Donavan had their moments.The Eagles defense also played well.But they ran into a DYNASTY.YES GLENNSTEELY,NOT A DIE NASTY, BUT A DYNSASTY!!! READ IT AND WEEP!!!! SS

[Chris Exley]

My Eagles. If only.......... there are too many to mention.

Congrats to the Patriots. They were the better team last night.

See you in Detroit.

Chris,you are a breath of fresh air in the smog of Eagles fans.Listening to the first hand reports on the Boston sports talk show of the behavior of a lot of Eagle fans at the game was too bad cuz unfairly or not,it does reflect on all of the fans.Takes a big man to fess up.I must admit the Eagles did surprize me and put out a great effort so hats off to your team.As far as your"If only",the one that would apply is,If only they didn't play the Patriots.Maybe we'll meet again next year. SS

[Chris Exley]

Funny, I haven't heard anything about bad Eagles fans (either in the national or local media). That isn't to say that there weren't any (but every team has its bad fans). It is unfortunate that things that happened 35 years ago (the snowball throwing at a drunken Santa Clause) have been perpetuated by the media. We are passionate. How else do you explain 30,000 un-ticketed fans making the trip.

Most of the "man on the street" interviews I saw last night and today, were of people who were heartbroken, but the talk was already of next year.

When the Eagles arrive today at 3:00 I am sure that the Airport will be swarmed with people who just want to say thanks for a great season.

Yeah, it hurts, especially when you are so emotionally invested in something, but it is, after all, just a game. And.......

There is always next year.

[Grant]

Yep...this was indeed a hard loss, but not unexpected (on paper, anyway).

Consider the "couldas": Eagles held Pats scoreless for most of the first half. But they committed the one mortal mistake that they could afford in this game: turnovers. Still, they were IN THE GAME with five minutes left. Bottom line: They lost it. Had McNabb been "on" (a la GB mauling), the result probably would've been different. But the better team prevailed.

I have to admit, way back when the playoffs started (and even before) I picked the Pats and Iggles in the Bowl, and picked the Pats to win again.

That being said, I truly believed they would pull it off, but it became evident
verey early on that this was not the case. You can't turn the ball over more
than once and expect to win. The defense was great for both teams -- the Pats are sooooo good at magnifying your weaknesses. Brilliant. Force McNabb and he'll under-throw, over-throw, and be very predictable.

Pats entered the locker room at halftime and adjusted their game -- and it paid off almost immediately. The Eagles obviously went in for a potty break and little more. McNabb shoulda'would/coulda adjusted, calmed down, and done little things -- like making 3-4 step drops instead of 7...keeping his eyes open to 2nd and 3rd receivers (he did the same thing in the previous two games...leaving receivers open). What was with the clock management in the fourth quarter!!?? Etc., etc., etc. All sorts of Monday Morning QB'ing going on here!

The good news is that the Eagles have been prudent & smart with the cap, have locked in some young talent for the foreseeable future, and *should* return to a fifth NFC title game for at least three of the next five years.

Now I'm beginning to understand how Bills fans feel.

So now it's over...'til the fall. Pitchers and catchers report in another two weeks...

gfe

Bottom line: Pats rule. The better team won. Belichick is the man.

[Grant]

And, if I may, one last observation for all of you T.O.-bashers...

In the post-game press conference, he addressed those who still think of him as the self-absorbed "selfish" player that he was perceived to be while in San Francisco. "The media made it a situation to where they thought I was grandstanding. But like I told a lot of people. If [that was] Brett Favre, they would have called him a warrior. For me, they said I was selfish. If I'm selfish, I'm selfish because I want to help my team win."

I think this summarizes T.O.'s season with Philadelphia quite nicely. He was, by all accounts, a REAL team player this year. There were none of the characteristic outbursts, and his team mates and coaches ALL speak quite highly of his contributions -- both on the field and the locker room. His performance last night, in light of his injury, was nothing short of spectacular. I'm looking forward to see what he does this coming fall!

Congrats, Pats!
