Medal Year Solid: Guns Of The Patriots

Coach Belichick is coming off of a perfect regular season and a wonky postseason. The Patriots looked nowhere as solid during the playoffs as they did during the season. The wear and tear and pressure of trying to finish the season 19-0 did them in. Tom Brady looked like Clark Kent after he went into the machine in the Fortress Of Solitude and lost his powers. Remember the scene when he got his ass kicked in the bar and was in shock when he saw his own blood for the first time? Every interception he threw Tom Brady had that exact same expression on his face.

Just having to sit through the ESPY's while everyone fellated the New York Giants all night long is more than enough incentive for the New England Patriots to get focused and try to get it in this season. People are getting old. Jason Taylor is on the Redskins, Brett Favre may be slinging pigskin for another NFC squad and the Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers all want to be the class of the NFL. There is no letting up.


The Patriots finally signed top rookie LB Jerod Mayo who they hope will be an immediate impact player and hopefully their secondary will be able to prevent the big play this season. With an aging linebacker corps and a questionable secondary the New England Patriots need to put points up. As of now they have 12 players on the PUP (Physically Unable To Perform) list and some of these players are key to the success of this team.

As efficient as the New England Patriots are on offense they need to be equally as good if not better on defense to have a chance at the Vince Lombardi trophy in '08-'09. I don't know if they can equal last year's numbers but if they even come close I'd be impressed.

Laurence Maroney, Kevin Faulk and the other RB/FB's need to keep the chains moving and Tom Brady can't get tunnel vision and repeatedly throw to Randy Moss like he did too often last season. Maroney needs to become more consistent and turn into a workhorse type of runner in key situations for the Patriots to have continued success.

The first preseason game for the Patriots is August 7th, 2008 versus the Baltimore Ravens. Where's everyone else at?

Dart Waxes Poetic (or Spoken Word) About: Randy Moss

I had no idea that Randy Moss was into NASCAR! Then again, he is from a small town in West Virginia so should I really be all that surprised that he owns and funds his own NASCAR racing team? This is just one of many facts about Randy Moss that I had no clue about. Considering how in depth the coverage is about our sports heroes is in Boston I figured I would've heard about this. Then again, the Pats have won a chip in a while so people are more interested what direction James Posey is leaning in, Boston or Cleveland?

I commend Randy for being a Black man and helping to further integrate NASCAR which is notorious for not being friendly to it's participants that posess more melanin in their skin or have breasts and vaginas. Those class action lawsuits are a beeyotch, aren't they? It just goes to prove that Randy Moss marches to the beat of his own drummer.

Apparently, Randy Moss has signed an endorsement deal with Pony International. Yeah, you read that right...Pony. Pony? Pony? Shit, was Spot-Bilt not offering enough coin? K Swiss and British Knights didn't produce good enough designs and mock ups? What about Lotto or Diadora while we're at it? I guess he didn't want to be just another athlete on Adidas, Nike or Reebok's payroll and he wanted to headline his own brand. I just don't see kids in the hood (or anywhere else for that matter) rocking Pony...unless it's the 70's/80's and/or they happen to own a time machine.

The last thing about Randy Moss is that it's widely speculated that he is either an altered human, mutant, cyborg, space alien or a genetic experiment/freak of nature. You can't guard him with one man and if you give him any kind of space he'll completely burn you. Throw high, he'll catch it. Throw it to him in traffic, he'll grab it. Give it to him behind the line on an end around and he'll break it for big yardage. He's a beast no doubt. I can't wait until this season starts. The preseason is now less than a month away (August 7th)!

Brett Favre, Sit Yo Ass Down!

Apparently, our boy Brett Favre has an itch that no lotion or salve found on the market or at any pharmacy can relieve him of. The only thing that can help this particular itch is if he scratches it. By stratching this metaphorical itch it would mean that Brett Favre would once again return to being an NFL quarterback. Just one problem...that motherfucker just retired not too long ago!


I understand if he has the urge to play like R.Kelly has the urge to pee on underage girls but that's because he's used to the routine after all these years of being an NFL player. He doesn't have to come back and play. Shit, let Rodgers get a chance to get his uniform dirty! Let him lead a drive downfield and finish with a TD. Let him make a Lambeau Leap or two. Let the yooung kid get his thing in action, Brett! Stop being a shine blockin' oldhead!

Did Brett really get in contact with the Green Bay Packers organization to be reinstated or is it just rumors and conjecture? Is Al Harris an asshole for fanning the flames of this rumor? Will ESPN please come up with another news story to report? I guess we'll all find out soon enough, won't we?
