Long gone are the days of the Patriots’ squeaky clean image. It seems like Bill Belichick is loading up for one last run at the Lombardi trophy, going for gangsta appeal over character. The Pats drafted Brandon Meriweather, a player that, despite his above average talent, is probably best known for stomping on another player’s head during the Miami-FIU brawl.. now that is a champ.
The bigger news, however, was when he decided to part with a 4th round pick to acquire the NFL equivalent of a really hot girlfriend that won’t put out, Randy Moss. The Packers passed on Moss when they were unwilling to part with their 4th rounder because they had their hearts set on a far more dynamic player, Allen Barbre, an offensive tackle from Missouri Southern State.
I can’t wait for the first time Handy Dandy Randy wimps out on a crossing pattern, and then Tommy Boy gets in his grill he comes back with, “Man I’m Randy Moss, I play hard when I want to! I just ran a route last play fool, you tryin to kill me?”
That would be classic, but maybe not as classic as when he catches a touchdown and pulls a fatty out of his sock in celebration, and has Pat Patriot hook him up with a light. I could be wrong, maybe by mid-season Moss will win over the locker room and get Brady, Bruschi, and Belichick to sport the Fro. They could show more team unity by greenhousing the big inflatable Pats helmet when they come out for Super Bowl XLII, that’s 42 for all you non-Romans out there.
