Cheer up, folks... there's plenty to do

The Patriots Remember them? Sure, Brady's done for the season, and the Patriots right now look like just another team in the running for the AFC East title . . . but is there any better ritual than Sundays in front of the big screen watching football? (Or, we suppose, Monday nights?) Like the Rays, the pesky Bills are making a charge to the top of the division, and the Patriots play them twice down the stretch, in addition to key matchups with Indy, Miami, and the (bleepin') Jets.
