Necessary Roughness with Kisha is a sports blog that focuses on football, both college and professional. However, no topic is off limits.

It’s getting close to game time folks, and I can barely control myself. Not gonna lie, my good friend Kristyn offered me a chance to buy tickets to the Patriots and Broncos game on Saturday and although I was wicked tempted, the responsible Kisha said nay. So to all you lucky fans out there braving the cold and wind at Gillette on Saturday, have a blasty-blast and make lots of noise.

During my drive to work, I get a chance to listen to the magic that is Boston sports radio. Other than getting to know Greg Stiemsma (who is actually a pretty interesting guy), this week has been full of Tebow, Broncos and good vs evil talk.  For the most part, I was ok with. Heck, it’s been pretty exciting having everyone in New England hyping up this game and even though logistically, the Patriots should win, there’s still that small thought in my head that thinks, “I mean, it IS Tim Tebow…” and that’s the part that makes this game so exciting.

In honor of tomorrow’s sure-to-be-suspenseful game, I’ve decided to compile a list of some of my favorite Patriots highlights. Watch, cheer and get pumped, we’ve got some Broncos to beat.

Benjamin Watson’s tackle prevented a Champ Bailey touchdown
If this video doesn’t get you pumped up, I don’t know what will. Always a great video to watch when you feel like giving up.

Vince Wilfork’s First Career Interception
I was both exciting and laughing the entire time this was happening. I couldn’t believe the big guy not only got an interception but he RAN IT back!

Top Ten Bad Weather Games: #7 The Snow Bowl
Gotta give props to my friend PatsPropaganda for posting this video. Although the weather won’t be bad tomorrow, this gives us glimpse of how things were in Foxboro Stadium. So much snow!

Patriots Annihilate Titans in 45-0 beating
This is one of the last games I worked at Gillette Stadium and you can only imagine how surprised everyone was when the dusting started. The stadium and the game was absolutely beautiful.

Wes Welker kicks a field goal
The Patriots are team of multi-talented players.  When Stephen Gostkowski was injured and with no back-up kicker in sight, wide receiver Wes Welker stepped up and took care of kickoffs and extra points. It wasn’t pretty but it was quite adorable. Here’s to adjusting to the needs …

On a quiet and chilly evening, Comcast SportsNet New England set the stage at the Renaissance Hotel at Patriots Place for an evening of Patriots playoff discussion. Having been invited to the inaugural event in September, I had no doubt that they would put together another fantastic event…plus, the timing couldn’t have been better as were about to begin heavy preparation for Tim Tebow and the Dnver Broncos for Saturday evening’s game.

There were a lot of familiar faces at the event. Of course the “usual Blogapalooza gang” with Erik Frenz of Bleacher Report, Ian Logue of PatsFans.com, Joe Gill of FanFeedr and Boston Sports Then and Now, Russ Goldman of Patriots Fourth and Two and Bob Hylburg, author of Total Patriots were there. These are some of my favorite people to have a beer with as they always some of the best sports stories and I’m looking forward to the upcoming Blogapalooza later on this year.

In my attempt to keep things exciting, I made a nice little video of the event. It’s filled with interesting points by CSNNE’s most notable Patriot voices.

I also had the opportunity to meet some new folks like Steve Balestrieri ( @SteveB7SFG ) who also manages the Pats Pub blog on PatsFans.com.

Overall, the evening was great. As you’ll see from the video, some of the bigger questions revolved around Tim Tebow, Josh McDaniels and Wes Welker.

There was also a big question that Tom E. Curran brought up and it made for quite the response from the crowd.

I’ll give you a hint: It involves a certain slot receiver and moolah…

Check out the video and give me your thoughts.

Spanks.…

This video is perfectly done. Saturday Night Live give Tim Tebow the Jesus visit he’s been dreaming of. Check it out below.

This video made me laugh pretty hard so I figured I’d share it with you guys before today’s big game.

I’m going with a close game initially but the Patriots will manage a victory. That is unless they’re only up by 10 points in the fourth quarter.

Goooooooooo Patriots!…

Tom Brady is a huge brat.

Like, “I threw a terrible pass and I want to yell at my random wide receiver that looks like a member of Bel Biv Devoe (Tiquan Underwood) and put the blame on him” kind of brat.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, check out the video below.

The story is that Tom Brady was originally yelling at Bel (or Biv or Devoe, I’m not sure who is who)  and offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien was just not having it. I’ve never really seen Tom Brady react like that and it kinda rubbed me in the worst way possible. In a situation that the absolute worst thing that Tom Brady could’ve done was throw an interception…and that’s exactly what he did. If that happened to me, I’d be pretty ticked off too but I would be irritated with myself, not poor little Tiquan Underwood and Coach O’Brien.

Not cool, Brady. I still love you though. Just don’t let it happen again…unless it’s because Tiquan missed a Super Bowl-winning catch, then I guess that would be acceptable.

Let’s get back to the rest of this game, the Patriots won the game but in the most unconvincing way possible.

The Patriots got the win over the Washington Redskins with a score of 34-27.
Yeah, not too impressive right? This is also the same Patriots team that gave the Indianapolis Colts some belief that they actually had a shot at winning not too long ago.

Am I confident in this Patriots team? Nope. I think that the Houston Texans are more balanced as a team and they don’t even have their first and second string quarterbacks. But does that mean that they won’t fight their way deep into the playoffs.

The Pats won’t impress anyone with their defense but it is this unimpressive defense that will make enough plays to keep their opponents at bay…that is, until they meet Aaron Rodgers, that is. I’m actually worried about those games when a scattered defense will not cut it.  Speaking of the Packers, is it just me or does it seem like more people are ok with the Packers going undefeated than when the Patriots were trying to do the same thing?

As Fitzy once said, “…because everyone hates the Pats.”

The Patriots are headed to Denver this weekend to face the golden child that is Tim Tebow. …
