Una Moss? Whoa, not so fast

 
Spanks! :)
——————————————————–
Randy Moss may just be pulling the Brett Favre  move we all predicted that he would.No, not the sending inappropriate photos to a random sideline girl. But the retiring and then coming out of retirement shtick.

Before everyone gets all riled up,I am fully aware that Tom Brady has verbalized his man-crush on Randy Moss and would welcome him back to the Patriots with “open arms”. I’ve had some people ask me on Facebook if this is really happening.


We are best fwendz.

Here are my thoughts on this:
- Tom Brady has enough toys to play with on the offense. It’s getting to the point where he could literally throw into any direction and one of his 45 decent receivers will make the catch

- Is it possible to have too many flashy wide receivers on a team? Is it, Cincinnati? I think so

- Why are they event thinking about receivers at this point?! SAFETIES? OFFENSIVE LINE? I feel like those are the real pressing questions.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it would make for some interesting competition between the receivers to throw Randy Moss into the mix (As if there isn’t enough competition?) but this is just getting ridiculous. It’s like the Patriots are becoming a real life fantasy team.

If Randy Moss would like to play again, he needs to go to a team that needs him, not the Patriots. It’s beginning to seem like the Moss and the Patriots were in a relationship that was getting better and then had a really nasty breakup. It’s just not something you can forgive and then act like nothing happened.

Moss needs to move on and when I saw alleged reports of  the news of him visiting the New Orleans Saints facility today, it made perfect sense (although my twitter buddy @JasonLaCanfora reported that this was false. Womp womp). It did bring up an interesting thought for the Saints since one of their top receivers, Marques Colston may be out for four weeks with a broken collarbone.

So for all of you getting ready to get more life out of your old Patriots Moss jersey, don’t get too excited.

Randy, it’s not us, it’s you. I hope you

How I Spent My Halloween..Patriots Style

 

As I mentioned in the previous post, I decided to be Nicki Minaj for Halloween. Although some people weren’t sure who I was, enough people yelled “YOUNG MONEY!” to me so it was well worth the leather pants and killer shoes.  Hope everyone else had a killer Halloween, I know I did!

Just when I thought that my weekend couldn’t get any better (thanks to a hella good time in Pittsfield, MA), I trekked back to Foxboro for my first ever Patriots home game. It was definitely an interesting experience from the beginning. Whether it was sitting in traffic because I made the mistake of getting on Route 1 or freezing my ass off because it was so windy, I LOVED IT ALL.

Thanks to Kristyn G and her Pops for making my tailgating experience delicious. It was interesting to park in a secret area, have a wicked awesome tailgate and hike for 15 minutes to get to the stadium. I saved myself some money from not parking at the stadium and also managed to escape three hours worth of traffic after the game. It was definitely worth the walk and as I was told, it’s a hike that a lot of dedicated Patriots have made before, I felt like it was just part of the experience.

So I guess what you’re really wondering about is how the game was, as far as my experience as a true fan. Honestly, I don’t know if I can ever go back to being just a pure fan of the team.

Since it had evolved into part of my career, everything about watching has turned into a process. For example, while people were giving out high fives, I was looking at the rotations they were making on the offensive line and also examining the various tight end sets they were trying out. It’s all become very technical for me and I can’t help it.

I guess my emotional attachments to the Patriots has been overshadowed by my love for the sport of football. I still adore the team and the organization but I guess things tend to change when you have a different understanding of the sport. Above it all, Gillette Stadium is still my favorite stadium and the Halloween game was definitely an interesting one to make my first official experience as a fan.

Here are my thoughts on the game:

  • I

Getting “jipped” by the NFL according to my brother, Favre and Away, Get ya Popcorn!

 

Somewhere between the NFL Draft and Manny Pacquiao knocking out a guy from Manchester, I realized that I will be done with college life in less than 2 weeks.  There are a few things that I have put on hold during this crazy transition period: writing and sleep.  As of May 23rd, I will no longer be a student at Johnson & Wales University.  It’s been a wild and crazy ride, now it’s time to get this writing career on track!  Expect more updates and articles after graduation..it’s definitely go time!

::::NOW FOR THE SPORTS NEWS::::

First things first, my little brother texted me today saying that I got “jipped” by nfl.com.  He said that they copied my headline.  See if you agree:

slide1slide2

I appreciate my brother feeling a little cheated, but Niko, I don’t think there are regulations for headlines…I still think mine is better though. :)

If we  go back to a few Brett Favre posts, it seems that we have already discussed his POSSIBLE return.  Now, I know he’s retired about 56 times within the last 3 years and to be honest, I really think this is the last time.  Although I do think that Minnesota could use someone like him, especially is Tavaris Jackson is only ridiculously good on Madden, but I really don’t think he’s worth the investment.  Plus, that means John David Booty would have to give up his number..not that he had to use it too often.

GET YOUR POPCORN, GET YOUR QUARTERBACK!, GET OUT OF HERE.

Terrell Owens is coming to a television near you..on VH1. What in the world does VH1 know about sports? Besides New York tackling Pumkin on the first “Flavor of Love” reunion special, I just don’ t see who would watch this show.  People, if you are a Terrell Owens fans, that does not automatically make you a football fan.  I’ll say this, TO is why everybody thinks that wide receivers are the biggest babies in the NFL.  This is not to say that there are people who play this position who aren’t good guys, Wes Welker is a good one, of course. 10 touchdowns, 69 receptions  and 1,052 yards in 2008?  Coming from a season with 15 touchdowns and 1355 yards.  I’m a not impressed with the show that Terrell Owens keeps telling us to bring the popcorn to.  When he got traded, I admit, I was …

Brett is Favre from gone, ANOTHER NFL player getting arrested and that thing with A-Rod

 

I know, I’ve slacked off. The last time I posted was when the University of Texas was still ranked in NCAA basketball, yeah I know, it sucks for me too.  I’ve been busy with writing for the school paper, work and oh yeah, sleeping.   Is it just me or does it seem like everyone has a comment about the whole Michael Phelps thing, my personal favorite is Seth Myers’ from SNL Really?! Kellogs.  This made me giggle a lot, too bad it was at 4 in the morning and all my roomates were asleep.

Brett, it’s good to quit when you’re on top..Ma$e did.
I know a lot of people want to know what I think of Brett Favre retiring again.  As much I’d like to believe that very touching interview he gave with Ed Werder about being able to “honestly say that he will never play football again.” I just feel like the main reason why he’s retiring isn’t because he’s over football, this guy doesn’t know what else he has left to play for. He’s not playing for the team that he built his career on,  he’s 39 years old and Kurt Warner, who’s only two years younger than him was able to be moved around more than the Rams,  go to the Super Bowl with the EXACT same record as the Jets…and almost win, ALMOST. :(   I’m nowhere near a Favre hater, I think he’s a great QB.
464 touchdowns passes
5,720 completions
65, 127 passing yards
169 regular-season wins
Those numbers are exceptional enough to make him one of the best quarterbacks of all time.  I just really have no sympathy for athletes that play with dedicated fans’ emotions.  My sister Kara is a die-hard Packers fan.  The day he decided to retire the first time, she called me so devastated that I thought it was because she found out that they were canceling The Secret Life of an American Teenager .  When she heard he was retiring again, she was almost indifferent to it.  That sucks.  If Wes Welker said that he would never step into another endzone again to catch the immaculate thing we call a touchdown, I’d be pretty devastated, but if he did 2 times in a span of 2 season, I’d probably punch him in the face.
If Brett Favre decides that he wants to try another run at the NFL …
