This weekend is the source of minor strife in the Coffin household, with

wife Casey rooting for her hometown (more or less) Eagles, and me pulling

for the Pats. For those who ask about my lack of bleating about the

Patriots, I must confess that I didn’t grow up a Pats fan, even though I

claim all of the other Boston teams as my own. But, I mean, how excited

can you get for a Steve Grogan led team? Having said that, without

claiming to be a (front running) fan, I do enjoy New England’s recent run of

success. And a win for NE will only cap one of the greatest year’s in

Boston sports history — so I can’t complain. So go Pats. I predict a

solid 35-24 victory.
