A Red Sox State of Maine

Deep Thoughts on World Affairs

After that shameful choke to the Fins yesterday (and if Belichick just TAKES the field goal instead of trying AGAIN on 4th down, the Pats win-this team could easily be 9-3 right now) the only redeeming feature of yesterday was watching Brett Favre’s ancient, narcissistic ass get kicked in the game of the week.

I love Bill, but he is killing this team right now. As is Brady, with his sudden newfound penchant for endzone picks. WTF is going on here? Despite their generosity in trying to give it away, I still think the Pats win the division...only to get their asses handed to them by the Josh McDaniel-led Broncos. Oh, the humanity...

Oh, and '72 Fins? Keep the champagne chilling, assholes. Colts and Saints 12-0... although if someone is going to match the asshole Dolphins’ perfect season record, I would far prefer it to be the Saints rather than the asshole Colts.

Finally, how soon do you think it takes Limbaugh to call his former butt buddy Tony Dungy  "a racist with a deep hatred for white people"? Five minutes? Maybe ten?

The Boys are Back in Town...?

So.

Charlie's available.

Romeo's available.

What did Jake and Elwood say...?

Who says you can't go home again?

After the Game

This is exactly how I feel:



If this season goes down, it is because of THAT PLAY. Too freakin' smart for your own good sometimes, Billy. What a fucking stupid play.

You got lucky this time, Manning, you fuckwad,because our coach is a M-O-R-O-N. But you can't count on that every time, Commercial Boy.

Fuck. I am so pissed off right now, I feel as if I just watched a month's worth of Liz Cheney interviews by Neil Cavuto. Fuck.

The Sexiest Man Alive

Yeah, yeah, Hugh Jackman is a fox.  But hey, anybody can make 6'2" of chiseled muscle and gorgeous facial features look good. It takes something really special to turn a wiry 5'9" into a headturner...something like Wes Welker, who turned in 12 catches and 134 yards yesterday, including a big 13-yard gain on 3rd & 10 in the 4th, with the Pats' prospects for victory looking really grim right then. The man has an uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time, and he's just so humble about it all: "I'll do whatever they ask me to do. I just go out there and do my job each and every play, and do it to the best of my ability, and I think that's everybody's role on the team."

I mean, what woman wouldn't go nuts for a guy like this? Especially on third and long...

 

Talented, versatile, tough and smart. Yup. He's a Belichick guy, all right. And a cute one to boot.

Quote of the Day

Peter Gammons on Mike & Mike this morning:

"We're wrestling in every sport and in every manner with what is cheating, what isn't cheating, what is game, what isn't game. A friend of mine suggested this morning that they take away the San Francisco Giant's first round draft pick because of the spying with Bobby Thompson knowing what was coming in 1951. These things go on in sports."

Wake up, people, take a good look in the mirror, and stop being such sanctomonious assholes.

No, on second thought, continue being sanctomonious assholes. Belichick clearly doesn't care what anyone thinks, and it will spur on the rest of the team because they'll be feeling like they have something to prove. Wouldn't be surprised to see 'em go 16-0 now...

Edit: This was a good quote, too, from a poster called justwinnow on the Red Sox board, who usually annoys me:

Bill is so much better than any other coach it's cheating just to have him on our side.

Amen, brother. Bring on that pansy-ass loser Tomlinson and the rest of the pathetic Chargers.

The Good Times Keep On Comin'

Rain postponed the Sox/Sox game last night. Great. Now on top of everything else, I get to fret because doubleheaders are tough to sweep and Kevin Cash will probably catch Game 2.

But not to worry! Well, as a Red Sox fan I will still worry about today, but as a Pats fan I am breathing a little easier this morning. In what can conservatively be called The Best News Yet for the Pats, it appears that Asante Samuel will be back on the field soon, poised to sign a $7.79 million dollar deal (about $7.4 mil more than he earned last year, btw) and return to the Pats in the near future. Which is especially good news, considering Chad Scott is done for the season (again). It also gives the team some depth at the position, so hopefully we won't be seeing my man Troy Brown out there defending anytime soon.

Season opener Sept. 9 vs the pathetic wannabe Jets. GO PATS!!!!
