So we all stayed up for the dreaded Sunday night game… after 36 consecutive hours of drinking and 12 hours of thinking up reasons not to clean. We waited for the awful country songs, the pregame show where they laugh every other word because some study shows that you get better ratings and we waited for the blob of humanity that is John Madden. And we waited… and then we waited for an extra hour…
It sucks to tape your eyelids open just to get to the end of a game that you eventually lose. Fortunately enough, there were several items from Sunday night’s American Football game worth discussing. And because I am too ADD/ADHD/LAZY/DYSLEXIC/NONCONFORMIST to want to write all about them… I will use pictures to show them to you:
Brady's first 6 starts: 4-2, Cassel's first 6 starts: 4-2
1. Matt Freakin Cassel. Many of my friends have recently asked, “StartMattCassel, do you really love Cassel? Like… really really?” Of course not, life without Brady is awful. I miss his manpurse, I miss his perfectly shaved dimple chin and I miss his arrogant, stuck-up, go-eff-yourself-because-I-am-drilling-an-amazonian-beauty-and-you-are-not attitude.
That being said… Matt Freakin Cassel is an actual quarterback! And I’m riding this backup horse as far as he’ll take us.
If Brady’s knee keeps him off the field any longer than currently planned, look for tha Pats to Franchise Cassel. If Brady is back on time, Cassel will be in perfect position to sign a multi-year, real money deal with another team.
Vince and his lovely wife, Bianca.
2. Vince Wilfork didn’t kill any body. And just look at that face… how could he?
Fresh from a little sit down with Daddy Goodell, Vince took a 35k slap on the wrist and promised to play nice for the time being. The good news is he still recorded a trio of tackles and registered an assist as well.
My thoughts exactly.
3. What happened there with that whole 4th down thing… and then they were going for it… and then you see Bill sprinting down the sideline waiving a T.O. call to one of the refs, and then they got the first down… but then they didn’t because the ref counted the T.O. and then they kicked a field goal which they could have just done in the first place?
I still haven’t gotten concise reasoning for that. WTF?
Feel free to chime in with comments if you have an explanation… But as long as we’re ridin’ a back-up… the admiral must be perfect.
2nd year Safety Brandon Meriweather
4. Our D-Backs didn’t totally suck. A group of guys I either hate, ala Ellis Hobbs and Deltha O’Neal, or haven’t heard of, ala Antwain Spann and Ray Ventrone, DID NOT get the ball tossed all over their faces. Though I’m not overly excited about the depth chart when it comes to DB’s, they have no Number One corner and our enforcer is out for the season… so for what they’re working with… not bad.
And though judgment on young DBs should be reserved for 2 full seasons and sometimes up to 4, Meriweather might also turn into a real live football player.
I love vince wilfork….
