Levi, I wouldn't call it a "roll"...they have escaped at least twice against very bad teams.

They did play 4 games in 17 days and lost 2 major starters.

Next 6 weeks are brutal (Chicago, Denver, @Indy, Det, @GB, @SD). Personally I would be happy with
4-2 out of that schedule. Anything better than that would be a "roll".
Pats biggest problem is that they've raised expectations to a insane level, fans expecting an SB every year, even Belichick/Brady can't do this.

I grew up in the Boston 'burbs and the Pats were consistently mediocre at best, until Kiam took over they were the most poorly run franchise in the NFL.

Went to see them play my Bills at 2 bit Schaefer Stadium ( early '90s) and there were more Bills fans there than Pats fans.

Cut them some slack and enjoy the ride

Agreed, Gerry...we see that window closing very quickly and are hoping for 1 more great year before Brady
and Belichick move on. Rumor has it that when Brady hangs it up, so will Belichick.

We could then very easily be back to those Schaefer Stadium days.

I had no idea that drug money found its way into auto racing as well during the 80's. This article is about 80's racer Randy Lanier and his involvement in the drug trade

http://jalopnik.com/the-man-who-turn...-50-1644603033

Although the article seems to be somewhat sympathetic to Lanier, I believe he got what was due to him. Had he tried through honest means maybe he'd have been another American great.

IMSA
International Marijuana Smuggling Association
Pretty much most of the Camel GT/IMSA GTP was fueled on the drug trade. John Paul SR busted as well. I remember going to the races in Miami back in the day when they were downtown. It really was something.....

Finally ordered, received and installed my Sullivan Racing Products gas pedal. I can now heel-toe without gyrations with my generous swim fins.
Awesome product. In satin.

Yes, the gas pedal. Very, very similar.
I can now rest the ball of my foot on the brake and do the roll right on the gas to rev match as before my foot was just too big to crank my heel to the right bottom.
It's PERFECT for me and works awesome for project #fatfoot
