Great Expectations
Posted Under: Uncategorized
I, for one, cannot wait for the ‘07 season to begin. The oddsmakers have the Patriots as 2:1 odds of winning Superbowl XLII, and with the incredible off-season moves the organization has made I do not find this far-fetched.
They addressed the wide receiver problem in free agency, and through a mid-draft trade. They signed cornerback Tory James and drafted Brandon Meriweather to play Safety to help their secondary woes (remember getting burned by the Jets in their first meeting in Foxboro with long yardage plays?). Maybe Meriweather can’t play right away in first and second down , but we can certainly bring him in on third and long until he proves he can match wits with opposing receivers.
Every once in a while we get a report on the latest fashion no-no commited by Brady (wearing a Yankees cap or a handbag). We can watch how the roster unfolds, knowing many players may not actually play but be kept on practice squads so as to maintain depth. But mosty we wait until the games are played. At least our QB isn’t throwing tantrums for lack of receivers or playing with dogs too rough and at least our coach hasn’t been fired or retired and let us be thankful that our players aren’t in trouble with the commissioner.
My point is things look good in Patriot nation. As the Red Sox are winning let us hope the Patriots will dominate once again in ‘07.

So you think the worst sins committed by Brady during this off-season had to do with his (non)sense of sytle, huh? The way I got it figured the one and only real thing he screwed up on is about to be born into a fatherless home. Only a man could write this trash.

thanks for the critique. i was mostly referring to the legal troubles of some NFL players resulting in bans of playing time, like Adam “Pacman” Jones. Last time I checked fathering a child isn’t against the law and this isn’t a gossip column. I will not begin to speculate on how Tom decides to or not to raise his kid. But he will be allowed to play.
