Just a few things...

-First off, I can't be happier that the Yankees are now going from the greatest franchise history to the greatest franchise in history to harbor steroid users. The best part is they still don't win. Special thanks to Giambi and A-Rod for solidifying their place in history as useless steroid users that can't win when it counts. I used to have respect for them, though I hate them, but its too bad that the sporting dilemma has gone from bad to worse.

-The news of A-Rod is not really surprising in our generation of roider's and cheats. Personally I don't believe that roids give that much of an advantage in baseball because either u can hit or throw or you can't. The distance and velocity doesn't mean shit if the player doesn't have the talent initially to make in to the show. However i was baffled that only A-Rod was called out on this list, either give up everyone or no one at all.

-I hate Bud Selig, this guy has fucked up big time. He did the right thing to take the necessary steps to deter steroid users from continuing their faulty decision making. But come on, why was this list that came out show up on the Mitchell report? I think its a conspiracy because he is no fool to letting his most marketable name be link with the use of performance enhancers. Like our country as a whole its time for baseball to go in a different direction and be lead by someone with youth and knowledge of the changing times to make the necessary changes that the sport needs to take to remain, and in some regards regain its role as the most followed sport in our culture. Plus, how do you fuck up an all star game? Seriously what kind of ass clown do you have to be to accomplish this?

-Well, well, well TO got cut. This is no surprise cause this guy is a selfish little cock sucking bitch that cries when his team can succeed without him being the cause. While Terrell has compiled hall of fame numbers he will never win a Super Bowl, and will continue his league wide merry-go-round of fucking each organization side ways until he retires. I can't say adding this threat won't provide results for the Bills, but they will never win with him and hopefully for the sake of Edwards and Lee he doesn't fuck up their continuity and deter them from progressing and improving year in and year out. Fuck you TO you fucking franchise ruiner.

-I have been enjoying the WBC this time around. Did the Netherlands really knock out the DR what the fuck is that about? I guess its true what they say that anyone can win on any given day. Who the fuck would have thought it would have been two loses to the fucking Netherlands. I don't know what to think about this, I am just baffled a team full of MLB stars can loose to a team that has two players in the show. Otherwise, this tournament has been entertaining with the USA make Venezuela their bitches, Japan showing that no one can compete with them in the general Asian area, and the entertaining play from guys who are auditioning for possible future MLB contracts a la Dice-K in the 2006 WBC.

-As for the Pats moving Cassell and Vrabel, I like the move because it allows them to sure up cap space to bring in more and younger players to fill the holes that fucked them in the ass last year. I would have loved to see a better draft choice but I trust in the brilliance of the hoody. I just love the out come of Cutler showing the world the bitch that he really is. My thoughts of the rumors surrounding him is that he shouldn't be surprised that he was shopped, hell who in their right mind wouldn't want a QB molded into the likes of Tom Brady, one of the greatest signal callers of all time? Oh and Culter get the sand out of your cunt and play, your making millions to play a sport that you just may be overrated in.

-Finally, Clay Buchholtz is showing the dominance that the Sox have been coveting for the last three years. I love this, I love seeing everyone jumping back on his nuts and proclaiming that he is nasty. My fellow blogger's kicked the kid when he was down saying he wasn't shit because he lost himself last year, but as usual people are quick to come to conclusions and down play the potential that our athletes posses. These signs of maturity and growth only adds to the prospects of the up coming season for the Sox. Be ready fans for a vastly improved pitcher that will make an unexpected, to you doubters, productivity. I believe that his reemergance will allow Tito and Epstien to keep Masterson in the bullpen to get those most out of their your pitchers.

Patriots 13 Bills 0

The game was in the toughest conditions you can play in, but the Patriots were able to weather the storm, and give themselves a chance to make the playoffs. The wind was so bad that they had to delay the game to level the goal posts, so there was a lot of going for it on 4th down. The difference in this game was the play calling. Buffalo had no clock management and really blew the game when they tried to throw on a 4th and 2.

Matt Cassel's stats don't show how well he played in this game. He was able to hit the passes he needed to, and even ran to convert some very important first downs. The Patriots ran Morris and Jordan a total of 44 times, and although they didn't have a lot of yards per carry, they battered the Bills around. The Patriots are now 11-5, but still have to hope either the Jets or Jaguars win. We will have more on this as the 4pm games come to a close. Go Pats!!!

Patriots Beat Jets 19-10

Say it together now...game management. That is what you will be hearing from the Patiots the rest of the year. There will be no more fun and gun. There will be no one throwing 50 TDs, or blowing out an opponent by 30 points. The Patriots are back to basics my friends, and that was what this entire win was about. New England controlled the clock, and didn't let Favre take over the game. The Patriots were up 6-3 at halftime (maybe the most boring half I have ever watched). The 2nd half wasn't much different, as the Patriots wouldn't take the handcuffs off Cassell. The Patriots were able to score a TD on a 1 yard run by Morris (which is funny because he ended up with negative yards on the day) to go up 13-3. Maroney was unable to play most of the game with a shoulder injury, but he should be fine as he was back in during the 4th quarter. The game was basically sealed when Thomas sacked Favre for negative 13 yards, and the Jets had to punt the ball with about 5 mins left. The Patriots were able to get some first downs and seal the victory. It wasn't pretty, but the Patriots showed they can win without Brady, and are still at the top of the class in the AFC East.

Brady Out For Season

Yahoo Sports Michael Silver is reporting that Tom Brady suffered a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the 2008 season. It's difficult to even wrap my mind around the idea of someone else playing quarterback for the Pats. Needless to say, this injury will deeply impact the fate of the Patriots for the 2008 season. This will undoubtedly be the most talked about story for this coming week. Rumors have already begun to swirl about the hit being dirty and cheap. I have seen the replay, and have determined that injuries happen, this play was no dirtier than Carson Palmer's injury two seasons ago.
It won't do any good for Pats fans to dwell on the obvious negatives of this situation. The players know that the only way to get through the season will be to back new quarterback, Matt Cassel. Now, we all know the story of Matt Cassel, the lifelong back up who never got a chance. The talking heads on ESPN have already began comparing Cassel's journey to Brady's. Let's get one thing straight right now, Tom Brady was the league MVP, he raised the bar statistically and threw an unprecedented 50 touchdown passes. Matt Cassel is not Tom Brady. He is not the "new" Tom Brady. What Matt Cassel is, is a serviceable backup quarterback. This guy hasn't started since high school. I don't want to downplay Cassel or dog on him in anyway, but he hasn't done much to impress me thus far. With that being said, he has the potential to lead the Patriots to a 12-4 season. The cupcake schedule will aid Cassel through his first professional campaign. Cassel already seems to have developed a rapport with Randy Moss, which will be crucial for this season to be a success. Cassel has been understudy to 2 outstanding quartberbacks, let's hope he learned a few things along the way. While his preseason struggles appear to be a thing of the past, Cassel will most likely be on a tight leash his first couple weeks until center.
For all Pats fans, hang in there. This season is not lost, and can still be salvaged. While losing Brady is a devastating blow, I believe in Matt Cassel. He can hold down the fort while the golden boy recovers.

Patriots Beat Chiefs 17-10

I am going to try to get through this post as best I can. I'll tell you right now I don't want to, because I fear the worst. The Patriots won today, but the real story was the injury to Tom Brady. The injury happened when Bernard Pollard came in low on Brady. Let me start by saying to all those fans that think that this play was dirty... Yes, it was low, but he didn't mean to, and shit happens. To make that play even worse Moss fumbled the ball, and really put this game into question. The latest news I have heard on Brady is that he will have an MRI tomorrow, but I will keep you updated as soon as I hear. Anyways, back to the game.

The Patriots were able to squeak out a victory behind the solid play of Matt Cassell. To be honest, I don't think Cassell deserves to be on any NFL team, but today he filled the "Trent Dilfer" role to perfection, going 13 for 18 for 152 yards and a TD. The Patriots defense is what won today's game, but still I am worried about Hobbs as he got burned a couple times, and I am not sure he is ready to be a #1 CB. Maroney and Morris combined for 104 yards and a TD, and the Patriots are going to need guys like that to step up if Brady is out. The game got very tight at the end as the Chiefs had a chance to win. Kansas City had 4 chances to put in the in the endzone to tie the game at 17, but were unable to do it. In my opinion, I would have probably tried to force Larry Johnson into the endzone, but instead they tried to force it to Bowe a couple times, and the Patriots were able to hold on 17-10. Once again, the real story here is Brady, and I will let you know more as soon as I do. Now excuse me I have to drink myself to sleep...
