Kelly Ayotte is running for Governor in NH. It’s my opinion that she was one of the few victims on 2016 because the left knew they needed the same kind of “help” in NH that they later arranged in 2020 in counties from Arizona to PA.

My friends at the Grok are underwhelmed but my thought is she was an OK Senator and would certainly be a better governor than any Democrat out there, neverayotte folks not withstanding.

On a personal note Ayotte always gave me time and never ducked a question I asked, again the Grok guys know NH better than me but I’d take her for Governor like a shot over who we have in MA.


There are four days left if you want a sub from mighty subs in Needham MA as they prepare to close their door after 33 years.

My advice if you want to avoid lines and the risk of them running out of bread which happened every day this week. Get their by 7 AM or 8 at the latest. Believe me they’re worth it and you only have four more days.

Here is my video from 11 years ago

Mighty subs in year 22 of 33

Saw a tweet at instapundit that I had to answer, that tweet and my answer explains a lot.

People with power do what they do for a reason.


Speaking of explanations:

I always thought that it was interesting that the same folks who were attacking and censoring people like me who say election 2020 was rigged and stolen never had the thought of demonstrating that the counts and the ballots were on the up and up, which is what you do if you have run a clean election that someone questions.

I submit and suggest there is a reason for this.


Finally I’m really getting sick of the “Replace Bill Belichick” chorus on talk radio lately.

Now I confess I don’t know if Bill has a plan to get back to the playoffs or the superbowl or just to last long enough to get the all time wins record but I do know two things.

  1. Barring a lot of luck and major injuries all over the league nothing he could do in the next three years will get this team back to the Superbowl
  2. There is not a better coach available that has even an outside chance of achieving that goal in the time frame I just mentioned.

I’m reminded of when a newspaper editor came to Lincoln demanding the removal of General George McClellan Lincoln asked him who he thought should replace him, he received the answer “Anybody” and Lincoln replied that anybody might be OK for him but he needed SOMEBODY.

Until I get a name who can do better I think I’ll stick with Bill.

Was it just one year ago that Cam Newton was released by the Patriots and the starting Job put in the hands of Mac Jones? Can you imagine how different this season would have been if he was kept as a backup?


At the start of the season if you told me that Patriots would be 3-3 the reaction of everyone would be “meh” and nobody would be talking much about the team.

But with Mac Jones still down with an injury and the 3rd string 4th round pick winning two straight suddenly the Pats are the talk of the town.

It’s all in the enviorment.


When Mac Jones first got hurt we were talking 4-6 weeks and some were hitting him for not opting for surgery to speed things up rather than taking the longer route. Now I suspect nobody in Patriots nation want to rush him back.

Now the wise thing with Zappe playing so well is to let Jones heal fully rather than rush him and risk further injury, the question is now that his job might be in danger will Jones feel the same.

Nobody wants to be the next Wally Pip although it’s premature to call Zappe the next Lou Gehrig


At the start of the season everyone was laughing at the idea of Belichick using failed head coaches Joe Judge and Matt Patricia running the offense together without an offensive coordinator with Josh McDaniels gone to the Raiders.

Well now nobody is laughing with the Pats 3-3 even with a 3rd string QB and McDaniels Raiders 1-4.

Apparently I underestimated Bill Belichick’s decision making big time.


Finally Zappe himself has done an excellent job in the Patriots system and I see no reason to bench him if he keeps winning.

Furthermore I see no downside of having two solid QB’s in the tent. Remember Brady going down vs Pittsburgh in the AFC championship and Bledsoe coming in to save the day.

If Bill doesn’t have that 2nd front line QB does Brady get that 1st ring and all those who follow?

I say use the SF method with Montana and Young. keep em both fresh and make other teams worry about who they’re facing.

After all these are two rookie contracts so you can afford to keep em both without big cap hits, take advantage and run with it.

I keep hearing people talking about Bill Belichick being the greatest coach of all time. Let’s look at some basic stats

Put simply Bill Belichick is the greatest coach of all time…as long as he has the greatest player of all time playing for him.

If not he is a pretty good coach smart enough to coax an extra win or two for a team.

Meanwhile Tom Brady is the the greatest player of all time who not only wins divisions and superbowls wherever he plays but he does it at an age when people have usually been behind a TV camera for half a decade or more.

Update: I’ll add one caveat, if Bill Belichick can make the playoffs with this Patriots team and this coaching staff I might have to promote him from pretty good to great in my mind.
