Big F-You to Roger Goodell

Houston Texans v New England Patriots
Third-string QB Jacoby Brissett gets it done with a TD in 27-0 win over the Texans

I cut cable so I missed the first two weeks of the NFL season (except for the highlight reels) but last night I discovered something wonderful. The game was streaming live on Twitter. So I watched the first half in full-screen hi-def on my laptop. And I watched as an important national near-obsession was resolved.

The standing wish of 31 other NFL teams and their fans was that the Patriots were crap without Brady. That suspending Brady for 4 games for something that barely qualifies as an equipment violation would put them in their place. But that wish has not come true, capped off with a 27-0 defeat by a third-string quarterback of a supposed AFC contender, the Houston Texans.

The Patriots are now 3-0 without Brady and have not one but two backup quarterbacks who can get it done without him in the building. Most teams wish they had just one quarterback who could do that.

F-You Roger Goodell.  F-You!
