Our prayers are out tonight for former Southern Ct State star Joe Andruzzi. The three-time Super Bowl winner with the Patriots is battling an aggressive form of cancer. No one played guard any more aggressively than Andruzzi and we just hope he makes it.

Andruzzi's humility and character were missing from his former Head Coach this week. Can Bill Belichick stopping acting like he's guarding Pentagon secrets when he addresses the media? This is football information, not nuclear physics that will land in the hands of the enemy. Then again, when you need to spy on the other team, maybe it is life and death...to you.

High School football kicks off tomorrow night with the return of Jack Cochran to the New London sideline. No need to worry about the 50 point rule being invoked in Cochran's first game back after stepping down in 2006 . Northwest Catholic is good enough to win the game outright.

UConn will crush Temple Saturday and go into Pitt the following week 3-0. The only questions Saturday: Will the field hold up? How much, if at all, will Danny Lansannah play? And will the final score be 40, 50 0r 60 to 7. It will get ugly. Buffalo blew out Temple. Yes, Buffalo.

Enjoy the weekend.
