There are a few things in life that I know I just don’t have any control over like hurricanes, my reactions to goals at a Bruins game and sneezes, but then there is something like the Free Agency season in the NFL that really drives me insane. I know that this is a really important time for teams to look at the major weaknesses of their defense and offense and perhaps maybe making some big moves to get higher draft picks, but seriously, can we please take into consideration the effects of these moves have on their fans. Some of the bigger moves that have gone on have literally blown my mind. So this post (for the most part) will be dedicated to the big moves that have occurred the past few days and why I either approve or disapprove.
MIKE VRABEL & MATT CASSEL —> THE CHIEFS
This is, by far the one that has irked me off the most. Besides the fact that the Patriots got absolutely nothing for these two, its MIKE VRABEL. You know how much I’ve always wanted a Mike Vrabel jersey?!? When I went to my first football game in Miami way back in 06′, I literally, was the only person cheering for Mike Vrabel. The Dolphins fans around thought I was making someone up on the Pats. Folks, he’s one of my favorite players. One of my favorite moments is in the 2005 Super Bowl when Vrabel caught a 2 yard TD, I vividly remember him telling Brady after he celebrated the touchdown, “Don’t EVER do that to me again.” How are we just giving this up? Given that he has not been as effective as he has been in the past 4 seasons, but neither has Donovan McNabb but Philly isn’t giving him away like a free sample. The used Mike Vrabel like a bonus product for Matt Cassel, like he’s just some random free agent that doesn’t count. This is just absurd. Mike Vrabel and Tedy Bruschi were a great inside/outside LB pair..and now it’ll never be the same. I hope this is what you wanted Bill, because if this doesn’t work out, I will be very, VERY upset. Oh, P.S. Good job on getting Fred Taylor.
My verdict:
BRIAN DAWKINS —> THE BRONCOS
When I saw this on t.v., I literally went, “ARE YOU CEREAL?!?” A few posts back I …
