In honor of another great win for the New England Patriots in which Tom Brady found two of the three members of the Lollipop Guild (Wes Welker and Julian Edelman) open for completions we have ceremoniously summoned the spirit of the Wizard of Oz to name this episode The Lollipop Guild. While we explored other options that involved Ya Dude's at Gillette and their Super Ex-Girlfriends, we decided to stay on the playing field to name this episode.

It wasn't pretty, but the Patriots got it done and are now 3-1, this week, Adam gloats over his standing prediction of a 13-3 finish for the Pats even as the road traveled gets much tougher with the Patriots headed to Denver next week.

The Red Sox provided much less excitement as they are spending their couple of days before the playoffs start trying to figure out which rookie sensation will help them win the World Series this year, even while getting screwed by Brett Favre (Timmy explains.)

And it's fantasy round-up time as the boys round the horn on baseball, football, hockey and nascar. A BIG congratulations to our World Series champion Coach K who went 19-3 with his Bentley Bombers to take home the crown.

The New England Patriots acquired third-year LB Prescott Burgess today in a trade with Baltimore for an undisclosed draft choice. To make room for Burgess on the 53-man roster, the Patriots released C Ryan Wendell. Burgess, 6-3, 247 pounds, was originally a sixth-round draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens in 2007 out of Michigan. He saw action in eight games as a rookie, posting seven special teams tackles before ending the year on injured reserve due to a hip injury.

It's crazy to think that the Patriots who are playing so well right now and who could potentially go 11-5 could become the first team since 1985 to go 11-5 and not make the playoffs, but it could happen.

After our 47-7 thrashing of the Arizona Cardinals (sorry Kurt still just can't figure out that Patriots D) and a nice loss by the Jets, the pesky Miami Dolphins still stand in our way of winning the division and making it in. Can you believe this? The Miami Dolphins of all teams could stand in the way of the New England Patriots making the playoffs. Tell me that a year ago and I along with the rest of the Patriots faithful would've laughed you out of the room, but this is clearly a different year.
So what are the playoff scenario's for the Patriots?
