Prelude - Playoffs? But we're only half-way through the hockey year! What gives? Well, actually, NFL playoffs are just three weeks away. However, in light of New England Patriots absolute dominance this season, small talking football over the next few weeks will be easy to do. Let's show you how.
Sport - Football
Event - NFL football playoffs.
Issue
Winter didn't stop NFL games including the New England Patriots victory over New York Jets. The Patriots are now 14-0 and stand poised to be only the second team in NFL history to have a perfect regular season.
Can they win throughout the playoffs and make their entire season perfect? Only Indianapolis probably stands in their path. The other conference might send Dallas but New England already showed what they can do to them back in week 6 winning 48-27.
Point to say - "So New England is 14-0!"
Follow up point - "Can New England sustain it through the playoffs?"
Get out of the conversation - "Are you going to watch any of the Canadian Junior games over Christmas Holidays?"
Backgrounder
Patriots Remain THE story of the football year.
Party trick
Got his from the Globe and Mail a few weeks back, but it still works, so try this at your next party. Bet someone a drink and then ask "has New England Patriots lost a game this year?" They will likely say no, whereupon you reveal that yes, they did, back in January when they lost in the playoffs to the Indianapolis Colts.
Analysis
This has the potential of being really big. Or a really big puff of smoke. It all depends on how big and how far the suspensions go. But ultimately, fans must decide if this product is worthy of their money.
