Chrissy Two Coats Rejoices

The Patriots traded a 4th round pick today for Randy Moss...a steal if he behaves himself. What I can't fathom is that Green Bay has been interested in Moss for the past few weeks. Are you telling me that they couldn't do better than a 4th round pick? What I know is that the Packers lost Ahman Green in free agency and they need a RB to help Brett Favre. They passed up the 2nd best RB in the draft and then they didn't trade for Moss. It makes you wonder what they're doing. The Patriots, on the other hand, know exactly what they're doing. If their passing game is successful with Caldwell and Brown starting - what's it going to be like with newly acquired Donte Stallworth and Randy Moss? Belichik is probably getting close to retiring and this is an effort to have a killer offense for a year or two before he goes. If Moss dogs it on a few plays - I can't wait to see the fireworks between the two of them. As far as Brady Quinn goes, apparently he wasn't "all that and a bag of chips". You know the Dolphins consult Dan Marino on a lot of issues and I think the kid's accuracy really came into play. A lot of things are coachable - I don't think accuracy is. He has grit and moxy and Steve Young can cry all he likes - but a lack of accuracy is going to be more pronounced in the Pros with tighter coverage and faster defenders. The pass rush is also going to be more fierce and the lineman are taller to throw over. For the life of me, I don't understand why he wanted to play for the Browns. The team isn't good enough to give him a supporting cast. Let's hope he doesn't pull a Ryan Leaf. Wait a minute...this is a Steeler site....let's HOPE he pulls a Ryan Leaf!

Patriots chances in Turd Watch just improved dramatically. With Randy 'The Locker Room Cancer Not Known As T.O.' Moss and Brandon 'Let's fight with Fla. International, I got my gun right here in my pants' Meriweather joining the squad.

Everybody picks the Pats as frontrunners for the Super Bowl. But let me say this right here and now. With the aging of some of his players and the addition of these 2 knuckleheads, if Belichick can take the 2007 squad to the Super Bowl, I'll admit he is the genius the media makes him out to be.

They still have to play the games. With San Diego, Indy and the Steelers it will not be a slam dunk! BUT just think about it...
Stallworth on one side, Moss the other, Welker in the slot, Watson in the middle and don't forget about Kevin Faulk out of the back field. How many D's can cover that!

Belicheck was actually in a GOOD mood on SIRIUS today!

GO PATS!!!!

well, 80% of what peter king says is horseshit - but he called the pats offseason the best since free agency.

i put my sister on alert for cheap tickets to the pats game @ pats. i wonder who would go with me if i got them......

i already got my birthday set for me and the dog, but still a sis got face value tix in 1997 - maybe she can get them again and the two of us can make a road trip.
