Who Are We Kidding? Are the Patriots Set To Win Another Superbowl?
Yep, the New England Patriots are just a lock to win another Super Bowl this year. Hand it to them. Officially close the 2007-2008 year. Since everyone has the Patriots entering, and exiting Super Bowl XLII with the Lombardi trophy. I guess everyone thinks that, right?
Nope! Not just yet. Sure, they got a Randy Moss that played apathetic last year compared to the breathtaking player that once wore a purple jersey in Minnesota eight times a year and then some. Not to mention they worked their way up to sign Donte Stallworth after he took Philly by storm. So the Pats have two new receivers that have had some disputes with their attitudes in their past. But Moss has actually acted on them.
Moss has sure had his run-ins with being the bad ass wide out in the NFL at one point in time. Anyone remember when he walked off the field against the Redskins as he knew the game was over? I know you remember what kind of disarrayed stunt he pulled in Lambeau Field in 2005 during the Wildcard Round to have fun mocking Packers fans.
Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth, Wes Welker, Adalius Thomas. Four of their [best] signings, and people are writing them to go to the Super Bowl. There have been teams of all sports that people suspect them to win the big game (or series) so easily that it’s hardly any work. People want to give the Patriots the title already without looking at the teams that could take them doing.
So hmmmmm, what if Moss gets into a sideline argument with Tom Brady. What are the scenarios in this possible case?
A.) Moss throws a punch at Brady and miss, Brady latches on to Moss and tosses him onto the table holding up the Gatorade and pats the wrinkles off of his jersey. Moss stands up and shoves Brady now, following it up with a “I Be Marshall, bitch!”
(NOTE: “I Be Marshall” is my version of Randy Moss’s version of We Are Marshall.)
B.) Brady shoves Moss aside and reassures to his #1 Wide Out that there is no gleam in his eye, and he’s up to the challenge of getting on the field and passing to Moss on every other down. Moss folds his arms and smiles, turning away to the action of the Patriots defense.
C.) Moss bitches out Brady following a drive that ended in a 3-and-out asking his Quarterback why he didn’t receive the ball after reportedly being triple covered. Brady simply replied, “I seen your do-rag slipping out of the back of your helmet and I felt that it would have slowed you up.”
Oh God, there are so many scenarios that could take place this year for the Patriots on the sidelines between Moss and Brady. Better yet, a Moss-Belichick 5-second conflict would be oh-so dramatic with Belichick ending the argument with a “I will disallow you wearing a do-rag if you keep this up. I’ll count to 3, and if you don’t shut up…1….2..—” like the way parents talk to children.
Does anyone have any ideas on possible argument scenarios on the sidelines between two players (or maybe a group!) of the 2007-2008 New England Patriots? Please leave us a comment with your thoughts.

With the NFL now relaxing a bit about coaches actually dressing up in suit and tie (Coaches Del Rio and Nolan have been given the green light to dress for success this season while it has been left up to other NFL coaches to follow “suit”), I can see a scenario where Tom Brady (Mister “GQ”…which can ironically also stand for “Great Quarterback”) finally feels emboldened to position himself alongside Bill Belichick during the pre-season opener and mention to him he might want to ramp up his appearance a bit, if only from a mercinary standpoint as fashion designers from around the world would pay Bill huge coin to don their attire. However, I can see Belichick having none of the conversation and saying to Tom…”but I’ve taken to my hood!” However, Randy Moss is standing not-so-close to the conversation and only hears something to the effect of “take it to the hood,” at which point Moss goes postal and confronts Belichick, asking him what he thinks he knows about “the hood.” Hilarity ensues as both Brady and Belichick try to calm down the highly-offended Moss.
Here’s what I envision…It’s down to the last few seconds on the board. Ten easy yards to go for the touchdown. Brady’s feeling pretty confident, he knows Gisele is up in Kraft’s private box(servicing the old geezer as a favor to Tommy). But wait…up on the big screen an adorable baby is showcased with his proud Mama. Can it be? YES…it’s Tom Brady’s little bastard. Needless to say, The Gutless Wonder throws an interception, and peyton Manning takes the ball all the way down the field for the most spectacular touchdown in the history of football. Tom has other things to worry about though. Like who does he go to first, his kid or the slutty Gisele? And dammit, what the Hell did his people tell him the kid’s name was again?
Great comments. Thanks for the laughs.
