I promised myself that I would try and keep sports out of this blog as much as possible. I spend enough time at ESPN.com, Yahoo Sports, etc. to be declared a shareholder, so I feel like I should broaden my horizons. Sure my Boston bias will show through every once in a while, but I can’t help it. Like in this particular case, which is so catastrophic, President Bush should consider Foxboro, MA a national disaster area.
See those tendons tearing in his knee folks? At this exact moment, my heart was being torn from my chest. What seemed like another playoff run for the Pats has quickly turned into a dogfight for the division with the other three teams looking stronger than last year, particularly Buffalo. So the Patriots will be now be faced with the same situation that they were in 2001, when Brady came in as an unknown and led the team to their first Super Bowl.
The only difference is Matt Cassel isn’t replacing Drew Bledsoe. He’s replacing a future Hall of Fame quarterback and the reigning NFL MVP. I won’t lose faith yet, but the one team that always seems to find ways to win just lost the captain of its ship. And stormy weather may be in the forecast for the New England area (literally and figuratively, in case you haven’t looked outside).
On a brighter note, I have something fun planned for my next post that I want to try and I hope anyone who reads this enjoys it and comes back again. The quadnews.net appreciates all the people who have been reading so far and hope you continue to spread the word.
