Just Wondering, about J.D. Drew, and the Dolphins

MIAMI -- Since J.D. Drew, the $14 million man who went from April 22 to Sept. 11 without hitting a home run at Fenway Park, came through with a grand slam in the first inning of Game Six last night, does that mean the winless Dolphins, 16-point underdogs, can upset the undefeated Patriots this afternoon?

Which, I wonder, would be the more surprising development to New England sports fans?

Lest we forget, Tom Brady has lost four of six career starts here, including last year, when the Dolphins whitewashed the Pats, 21-0, holding New England to a mere 189 yards total offense.

Sammy Morris ran for 123 yards and a touchdown that day -- one of the reasons the Patriots signed him as a free agent. Unfortunately, Morris, who had back-to-back, 100-yard games against the Bengals and Browns, will be out for several weeks after suffering a chest injury early in last Sunday's game at Dallas.
