The last time the Patriots traveled to the University of Phoenix Stadium, they left with the Lombardi trophy from Super Bowl XLIX.
Then you look at the matchup against the Patriots on Sunday Night Football and they are not just favorites, but they are big time favorites going up against the Tom Brady-less Patriots squad.
“I’ll be cheering like hell”, said Brady, following the Patriots final preseason game against the Giants, in which he started, playing 39 snaps. “There was humidity and not enough humidity and whatever it was and altitude”. “I’ll be excited to be back out there in October, when I’m there for real, but it was a really cool thing to do, and I was certainly very humbled and flattered to see it”. I didn’t follow the story.
“I think if you just read the article a year ago in Sports Illustrated you get a sense of how broad their game plan is, how many options they have”, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Thursday.
Does he think the league will punish him even more for this? Palmer simply stated that if you get caught doing something wrong, you have to face your punishment.
Tom Brady says that DeflateGate is really and truly in his rear-view mirror.
Ultimately, Palmer’s comments will have no impact on Sunday’s game.

“I actually think it’s a great opportunity for the players to come together and the players to recognize all the things we have negotiated, and as we negotiate hopefully a CBA extension, that we as players come together to really stand up for the things we believe in and continue to fight just as the players who fought before us”, Brady told host Jim Gray in a pregame radio interview on Westwood One before Thursday night’s National Football League opener.
