against the kansas city chiefs appeared to signify the end of Tom Brady’s illustrious nfl career. Pat patricia’s defense was exposed many times by the likes of the speedster Tyreek Hill and new offensive superstar in Kareem Hunt. The two combined for over 280 yards alone and forced the new england defense to break more than bend.

I can not remember a year where I was as excited for the Vikings season and then this goes and happens. Twenty minutes into practice on Tuesday Teddy Bridgewater took a snap from under center and as he was dropping back to pass he screamed in agony and went down.

Commercials. We all hate them. Television these days have more commercials than the actual show we are watching. But there is one day of the year that people look forward to commercials. It’s the day that the Super Bowl is on. Millions of people get together and have parties, gather around the television and see who is going to win the title.

The New England Patriots are undefeated so far this season with a record of 8-0. I believe that the Patriots could go undefeated in the regular season because they have been playing very well and a lot of their games are not even close. I think they will go 16-0 because the rest of their games should be easy for them other than maybe the Denver Broncos, or the New York Jets, because you never know what could happen in a divisional game. So far this season they have won against the Steelers, Bills

Let me tell you about a guy named Aaron Rodgers. He can throw a football so fast that it started a fire in the field. He also can run 200 miles per hour with the football and plough 15 people over at a time. One time in a game he threw a football so hard that it blew everyone out of the stadium. He can run the whole football field in less than 2 seconds. When he hurdles over a guy he can jump 100 feet in the air. When he scrambles the player on the other team tries to tackle him at the 50-yard line
