Welcome Back, Tom

Like a world class opera conductor, Tom Brady huddled up his orchestra, took the stage, kept his composure, and did what he does best…win football games. Opera fans know exactly how every concerto is going to end, yet they still get excited at its climactic finish, and that’s exactly how the mood was in Foxborough on Monday Night. Anyone who has watched football this decade knew what was going to happen. It didn’t matter that the Patriots were down by 10 in the waning minutes of the game, and it didn’t matter that it was Tom Brady’s first full game since 2007. Yet when Brady threw one touchdown and then another, though we all knew somehow that it was going to happen, it was still as exciting as it can get in week 1 of the NFL season.

On a side note, is it me, or do the Bills always find a way to lose prime time games that they have no business losing?
