A Moral Victory, At Best

Let’s be honest: a 9-3 team led by Tom Brady (one of the two best QB’s in the game today) playing against a 4-8 team led by Rex Grossman (one of the five worst starting QB’s in the league today) shouldn’t have been a close contest. My primary concern going into yesterday’s game was whether [...]
