Predictions...... Worthless!!

Plax, for the love of the game, please refrain from saying anything that could potentially give the Pats a psychological advantage, bulletin board material, or haunt you throughout the off season in the event we are not triumphant on Sun.

Predictions mean nothing, and they are unnecessary. If the "TEAM" executes the game plan to perfection, you will be hoisting that trophy Sun night. You will have ample time to gloat and celebrate at that time. But that course of action will not be warranted if you are truly the classy competitor I believe you to be.

The media has a job to do, but you do not have to give them an assist selling papers by making outlandish statements. The game is played between the lines. That's the way it has always been, and rightfully, that's the way it will always be. Any misguided statements you make now can only hurt the team. And the media will surely grill your every word with a fine tooth comb, if you are not victorious.

I applaud, and salute the squad for coming together this season and accomplishing what "very few" thought would have been possible. The "Shut Up & Play" mantra has been oh so appropriate. Just think how Tiki must feel at this very moment. He should be one of the primary commentators on Sun, but his words have condemned him as well.

I have been a staunch supporter of this team throughout my lifetime, and throughout this season, even when it seemed bleak. I have always used "cautious" optimism when forecasting Big Blue potential, but I'm on the sidelines, and I still exercised respectful restraint.

I like the solidarity, and unity this team has displayed. Focus hard in practice all week. Games like this can turn on a dime, and get out of control. An emphasis must be put on FOCUS, CONCENTRATION, & EXECUTION. Be complimentary to the media, but only say the things that will encourage your team to be at their best on Sun. That being said, I believe we have an excellent opportunity to be victorious, but it wont be easy, and talking will have no affect on the outcome.

GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
