FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- It has been more than 21 months since Malcolm Butler picked off a Russell Wilson pass at the goal line, allowing the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl as the world wondered why Pete Carroll didnt have Wilson hand the ball off to Marshawn Lynch.On Sunday night, the teams -- and those two players -- meet again, this time in Foxborough.We all know what happened, Butler said Wednesday. It always (brings a smile) whenever I think back on it, but thats not going to help us win this game.This is bigger than me. That play will not help us Sunday night, so we have to be ready to play.It might not be about Butler, Wilson and Carroll, but you can guess how many times NBC will show the play and delve deeper into it Sunday night.In some ways, the play will overshadow another game between two good football teams. The Patriots are 7-1 with a three-game lead in the AFC East and the favorites to come out of the AFC. The Seahawks, 5-2-1 and atop the NFC West, are always a factor in the NFC.Butler was a rookie when he made that interception and is developing into one of the top cornerbacks in the league.Hes a really good player, Carroll told the New England media via conference call Wednesday. Good ballplayer. He seems really instinctive and aggressive and confident. Hes done a nice job.While Seattle is coming off a 31-25 Monday Night Football win over the Buffalo Bills that snapped the Seahawks two-game winless streak, New England is coming out of a bye week -- the Patriots still very much in the news even without playing.The Patriots are 12-4 under Bill Belichick/Tom Brady coming out of a bye.The day after their last game -- also a win over Buffalo -- the Patriots traded Pro Bowl linebacker Jamie Collins to the Cleveland Browns for a draft pick, stunning the football world with the move.Then, after a weekend of watching football on television, came Election Day, and the questions over Brady and his support for Donald Trump and a letter sent by Belichick to the then-candidate showing support.Asked Wednesday why he gave Trump permission to talk about the quarterbacks support, Brady said, Why did I give him permission? So youre assuming I gave people permission? Asked again if he did, he said, Im just going to talk about football this week.Finally, asked if he in fact supported Trump, Brady, who said he liked people or teams that win, said, Yeah, I talked to my wife; she said I cant talk about politics anymore, so I think thats a good decision made for our family.Belichick confirmed his letter.Ive received a number of inquiries relative to a note that I wrote to Donald on Monday, he said. Our friendship goes back many years and I think anybody thats spent more than five minutes with me knows Im not a political person. My comments arent politically motivated. I have a friendship and a loyalty to Donald.A couple of weeks ago, we had Secretary of State (John) Kerry in our locker room. Hes another friend of mine. I cant imagine two people with more different political views than those two, but to me friendship and loyalty is just about that. Its not about political or religious views.I write hundreds of letters and notes every month. It doesnt mean I agree with every single thing that every person thinks about politics, religion or other subjects. But I have multiple friendships that are important to me and thats what that was about. Its not about politics.Its about football. We have a huge game this week against a great football team, a great organization, and thats where it all is going forward on Seattle.Carroll, the former New England coach, said, I like coming back. I had a good time there. Its kind of fun, you guys have so much good stuff. Its kind of an honor to have a chance to play.As far as what he might have said to his players about the election, Carroll said, Weve always addressed whatevers at hand, going on around the country in all different areas and ways, to some extent. Not always in great detail, but we try to stay up with whats topical and whats current. Cheap Vapormax China .

Still, the crafty right-hander is doing a pretty good job of keeping up with the Mets All-Star starter. Gee pitched impressively into the eighth inning a day after Harvey tossed his first career shutout, helping New York beat Colorado 2-1 Thursday and sending the Rockies home after a dreadful road trip. "Harveys Harvey. That guys unreal," Gee said. "I just try to go out there and do what I can do to help win baseball games. Luckily weve been able to do that." Gee (8-8) scattered eight hits without yielding a walk in 7 2-3 innings to win for the first time since July 14. He allowed Corey Dickersons homer leading off the fourth inning but no other extra-base hits. The 27-year-old with a shaved head has pitched at least 6 1-3 innings in each of his last seven games, most by a Mets pitcher this season, and hes 2-1 with a 2.39 ERA in that period. Unlike Harvey, who has a fastball that reaches 100 mph, Gee works the corners and mixes speeds, frustrating batters. "Dillon Gee is a prototypical pitcher," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "Hes got four quality major league pitches and when hes using all four hes tough to hit because he has the knack to throw those pitches at any time." Rookie Wilmer Flores had an RBI groundout and Anthony Recker a sacrifice fly off spot starter Jeff Manship as the Mets completed their first three-game sweep over the Rockies since 2008 at Shea Stadium. Manship (0-1) was called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs for the start because right-hander Tyler Chatwood had inflammation in his right elbow after a bullpen session Tuesday. Chatwood was throwing to test a tight hamstring that forced Colorado to push back his start two days to Thursday. Now hes on the DL, the latest blow for the sinking Rockies. Colorado was 1 1/2 games out of first place in the NL West on July 2 but are 11-21 since to fade from the playoff race. The Rockies lost nine of 10 games on this trip. That matches a 1-9 run from June 22 to July 1, 2007, for the clubs worst road trip. Playing without injured All-Star Carlos Gonzalez the entire series, the Rockies scored just three runs against the Mets, including a 5-0 defeat Wednesday night to Harvey. "I know it hasnt been pretty on the road this trip," Weiss said. "The bottom line is youve got to make adjustments constantly in this game. Figure out how people are getting you out and make the necessary adjustments. Its a constant battle." Colorado came out aggreessive with a young lineup Thursday, but fizzled quickly.dddddddddddd Gee gave up consecutive singles to start the game. Colorado let him off the hook, though, when D.J. LeMahieu was tagged out trying to advance on Dickersons flyball to right fielder Marlon Byrd. With a runner on third base, Michael Cuddyer grounded out to second. "The whole big thing is catch the ball and get it in," Byrd said. "You cant worry about what the runner is doing." Dickerson led off the fourth with his second homer of the year, a drive into the bullpens in right-centre. Cuddyer followed with a single but was caught stealing. The rest was easy for Gee. He was pulled to a nice ovation in the eighth after yielding a single to LeMahieu. Scott Rice relieved and walked pinch-hitter Troy Tulowitzki. David Aardsma then got Cuddyer to fly out to left field. Filling in for injured closer Bobby Parnell, LaTroy Hawkins was perfect in the ninth for his second save. Manship arrived in New York from Colorado Springs about 5:30 a.m. and was on a big league mound for the first time in a year 7 hours later. "Jeff did a great job, especially considering the circumstances," Weiss said. "Had to work hard a couple of times to get through some stuff, but kept us in the game. Kept them in check and took care of our bullpen on a day when it could have been rough." Making his first major league start since May 1, 2010, for Minnesota, he appeared to tire in the fourth, when the Mets went ahead 2-1. Daniel Murphy and Byrd singled to start it off and Ike Davis walked to load the bases with none out. Flores flung his bat at a low and outside pitch, sending a slow roller to shortstop. Jonathan Herrera charged and made a quick throw across his body to just nab Flores at first, but a run scored to tie it at 1. Recker followed with a sacrifice fly to put the Mets ahead. Manship lasted one more inning. He gave up two runs, four hits and three walks. "I felt great out there," Manship said. "I was a little bit tired just before going out there to warm up and everything, but once you get out there and kinda take it all in, you kind of overcome that." NOTES: Harvey said he was fine about 12 hours after being hit on the knee by a line drive with two outs in the ninth inning of his win. Harvey said he had no swelling or discomfort in the knee. ... To make room on the 40-man roster for Manship, the Rockies recalled lefty Christian Friedrich from Colorado Springs and placed him on the 60-day disabled list with lower back inflammation. ' ' '
