Finally, a member of the Patriots addressed what everyone else has been talking about for months...the possibility of going 16-0. From Tom Brady's press conference today:
"We have a lot of records at stake, the most important one being the 16-0, and I hope we achieve that. It would be a great feat for the team, it would be great to go down as the only team to be 16-0. That's the goal I got in mind."
"I think we all realize what a win would mean, but a win’s always big. A win is always important for us and we’ve prepared pretty hard over the last four months, as every team prepares pretty hard. Being 16-0 would be a very special achievement, one that no other team has ever achieved and we’re finally at that point."
I'm sure the ultimate goal is a Super Bowl title, but the statements are an indication that these supposed "automatons" really do understand how historic what they're accomplishing is.
One more note: How about the NFL caving in and making Saturday night's game available on free TV throughout the entire country, not just on one network, but two. Throw in the simulcast Channel 5 was already going to provide the Boston market, and you now have three avenues to watch the game (CBS-4 and NBC-7) locally. I have a strong hunch Senator John Kerry's lobbying of the NFL had a lot to do with this.
That's the view from here...how do you see it? Should Brady have even mentioned the "16-0" thing?
