The Rough Cut: Patriots vs Redskins 12.12.11

 

Tom Brady is a huge brat.

Like, “I threw a terrible pass and I want to yell at my random wide receiver that looks like a member of Bel Biv Devoe (Tiquan Underwood) and put the blame on him” kind of brat.

  

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, check out the video below.

The story is that Tom Brady was originally yelling at Bel (or Biv or Devoe, I’m not sure who is who)  and offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien was just not having it. I’ve never really seen Tom Brady react like that and it kinda rubbed me in the worst way possible. In a situation that the absolute worst thing that Tom Brady could’ve done was throw an interception…and that’s exactly what he did. If that happened to me, I’d be pretty ticked off too but I would be irritated with myself, not poor little Tiquan Underwood and Coach O’Brien.

Not cool, Brady. I still love you though. Just don’t let it happen again…unless it’s because Tiquan missed a Super Bowl-winning catch, then I guess that would be acceptable.

Let’s get back to the rest of this game, the Patriots won the game but in the most unconvincing way possible.

The Patriots got the win over the Washington Redskins with a score of 34-27.
Yeah, not too impressive right? This is also the same Patriots team that gave the Indianapolis Colts some belief that they actually had a shot at winning not too long ago.

Am I confident in this Patriots team? Nope. I think that the Houston Texans are more balanced as a team and they don’t even have their first and second string quarterbacks. But does that mean that they won’t fight their way deep into the playoffs.

The Pats won’t impress anyone with their defense but it is this unimpressive defense that will make enough plays to keep their opponents at bay…that is, until they meet Aaron Rodgers, that is. I’m actually worried about those games when a scattered defense will not cut it.  Speaking of the Packers, is it just me or does it seem like more people are ok with the Packers going undefeated than when the Patriots were trying to do the same thing?

As Fitzy once said, “…because everyone hates the Pats.”

The Patriots are headed to Denver this weekend to face the golden child that is Tim Tebow. …

The 2010 Faux Bowl: Why I still watched it.

 

When the news first broke that the NFL had plans of moving the Pro Bowl to the week before the Super Bowl, I was less than excited.  Actually, more confused than anything.  Not that I had a countdown to the Pro Bowl every year, but I just thought that the idea behind moving the event was absurd.  Given, that this break between football games sucked, I still think that having an NFL game in Hawaii was pretty awesome.  If they were going to move the game up, great…just make sure you keep in Hawaii.  If I was a football player and was violently injured during my season and then found out I HAD to play another game and it was in a place like Hawaii?

Miami – At least there’s water..kind of.

Hell yes. I’ll even show up early to “practice”.

This wasn’t the case. Instead, the Pro Bowl got moved up early and was relocated to Dolphins Stadium..I mean, Landshark Stadium.  Actually, I’m not even sure what it’s called anymore. Either way, it just wasn’t an even exchange.

Miami is fun and all but I feel like that they host way too many big games. I feel like the Super Bowl was JUST there like 4 years ago. Now the Pro Bowl? What about the Buccaneers stadium? They have a boat in the endzone! Come on.  How many teams can even get away with having a vehicle on their field?

So here’s the real point of this, why exactly did I watch the Pro Bowl? Especially since the Grammys and Rudy was playing.  I didn’t watch the Grammys because after U2 won Best Album for 3 years in a row, I was all set.  I watched Rudy because, honestly, that movie gets me EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Here’s my favorite line in the movie because it’s pretty much the story of my life:

You’re 5 foot nothin’, 100 and nothin’, and you have barely a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in there with the best college football players in the land for 2 years. And you’re gonna walk outta here with a degree from the University of Notre Dame. In this life, you don’t have to prove nothin’ to nobody but yourself. And after what you’ve gone through, if you haven’t done that by now, it ain’t gonna never happen. Now go on back.

Except for the not …
