The 2002 NFL schedules are out. The Pats open at home against Pittsburgh on Monday Night, allowing John Madden to make (I believe) his second trip to Foxboro in roughly 76 years of broadcasting. Your Superbowl champs also get a Monday nighter in Tennessee, a Sunday night home game against the Jets, and another Sunday nighter in Oakland. That oughtta be fun. For more National TV fun, they go to Detroit on Thanksgiving.
