Tom Brady??? Dunno if he's a legend yet. I'm from Boston. Born and Raised.
Brady is getting there but need to see him play for a few more years.

But the Patriots are my team. They are 2 to 1 oddes to win again..Lotta pressure this year... But with Dillion, they might be even better.

first game vs Indy is going to be a classic.

Last tiime i was in Vegas. It was 2 to 1 for the Division. Things might have changed though.

I agree. Manning is good but he cant play outdoors. Well at least in the Pats stadium. Hes something like 0-10 or 0-12...

Marc,

I grew up in Sharon...but my family lives in Stoughton.Sharon blows.....tiny ass town with alotta rich pricks..haha..I moved to Boston though once I graduated HS.

U are so lucky. U going to that game. Ill be in sunny Patong though...

Can't wait. three weeks till I get there. my first trip.

Until he wins a superbowl, he will be known as not winning the big one...
Bledsoe is past his prime... Gotta say though my fav QB is Favre..The guy is just one sick player....McNair is pretty sick too.

the best thing ive ever seen. on the dvd from this year's superbowl. they show rodney harrison freaking out because he broke his arm and wants to go back in the game. they show Ty Law telling him to calm down, they are gonna win, and Rodney Harrison says" how do you know" and Ty Law says" we have Tom Brady, they dont!" when the brothers believe in their white QB he has to be clutch!

every bar in soi eric has a tv. i was actually at one bar that had soccer on, looked over and the sox were playing on in the next bar, i just asked the bar to put the sox on. also, star sports plays like 4 MLB games a week and they will advertise what games will be on and when. I am sure in September they will put a few red sox games on. just check the bangkok post, they have a listing of whats on tv

Football

I have been in LOS during football season both of my first two trips. There were always some of the bars in Soi Eric down past MTB that played American football games. Also the bar next to Rockhard Go-go Bar played football games.

When I watched the Super Bowl with Tampa Bay and Oakland, I had to get up at 5:00 A.M. and watched it live in my room in Chiang Mai. Kickoff was at 6 or 7 AM. But for regular games, they replay the games on cable there during evening hours and you can watch at the bars. There used to be a bar on Bangla that was an American theme bar and played football, baseball, etc. all the time, but it has since closed.
