Good stuff Chris. Just one nit - "postprandial beverage". What's that saying about knowing your audience? Your readers don't want to have to look up words to understand what you're writing about. Come on, man!

Good article. The "tough Boston media" still hasn't questioned him questioned him about having 12 men on the field, which cost the Pats the Super Bowl last year. That was worse than Grady Little.
