Patriots problems still lingering...

With the Super Bowl over and done with, many people - myself included - thought that all the hype/scandal with the one-loss Brady Bunch would be over. Well unfortunately for the hopeful, the Patriots just won't go quietly into the off season. In an unsurprising turn of events, an excuse came calling to combat the winning Burress's touchdown catch. Ellis Hobbs apparently has been playing with an injured groin for some time now and is going into surgery during the off season to repair whatever is broken in there. This seems very Varsity Blues to me. If this was a lingering problem, why were the Pats covering it up? Why wasn't Hobbs put on the Injury Report? I thought there were only a handful of coaches who only released these game-day injury reports, and I didn't liken Bud Kilmer - check that the Hoodie - to people like Coach John Fox. Maybe he was just waiting for a reason to list Hobbs on the Injury Report, say...like a loss? I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it...

Now for a Patriot development which actually affects something other than themselves. Tom Brady and Randy Moss pulled out of the Pro Bowl for this year. Although accompanied with 11 other NFL players to do so, Brady and Moss didn't provide a reason for their withdrawl. Brady most likely sitting on a donut after being sodomized by the Giants D-line and but I got nothing for Moss. Maybe Brady will learn a lesson about pulling out...sorry Bridget if this would've only happened a couple years ago....

Up next is the Belichick preemptive exit from the field. His excuse was that he didn't realize how much time was left on the clock and that he saw people start heading for the field. Ya...because he's never seen people storm the field before. I guess that was his excuse for the loss. He may have forgot what game it was and perhaps the game against the Chargers was the Super Bowl. and that Phoenix just happened to be an after party that took two weeks to plan.

Lastly the icing on the cake, Willie Andrews was caught with half a pound of the chron. One day after the Super Bowl. He pleaded not guilty, riding on the fact that he had no means of smoking the pot, so in turn that meant he did not intend to smoke it. Last time I checked half a pound of weed was an intent to sell, something a little worse than possesion and abuse of said substance. Maybe he was just trying to forget that whole thing in Phoenix never happened. Maybe he needs one of GOB's forgetting pills...

Well that's what I'm putting down, hopefully I have no reason to post about the Patriots until the draft and if I'm really lucky...nothing until fall...atleast Boston can keep their mouths shut for awhile, I have some breathing room until the NBA playoffs...
