Please Welcome Back Greech to TSH

OKAY, I would like to take a quick second to apologize to our Faithful fans…To Sean: sorry we left, but cheer up buddy, we’re back! To Felisa: hey, what time is it there? Time to read TSH again! To Hemi: hey pal, how about those C’s?! Get ready for a Celts like turnaround from TSH. To Timmy: Ked, ya, ked, our web logs back dude!!. To Dannys Mom and Dad: sorry Danny snores so loud. To Sharon: Thanks for never giving up in us. To Sammy: thank you for all your kind words. To everyone else I forgot, or didn’t make up, welcome back to the poorly constructed thoughts of Greech and Danno Mac.

It’s been a while now, nearly a month, but you can’t seem to turn on the TV or radio without hearing something about it. First the talk was all about the shock of one of the greatest upsets in Superbowl history (congrats to all the bandwagon NY Giants and Eli Fans) , next it was all the pundits saying how Belichick is a poor sports becuase he ran off the field before the game was over (which he did, but there was 1 second left and the guys got man boobs. I think the least we can do is give him a 1 second head start to the locker room after arguably the biggest loss in professional sports ), then it was more talk about the time the Patriots didnt follow NFL protocall when videotaping the other teams coaching staff (I was never a big fan of "videogate" "spygate" or even "watergate"), followed by some guy named Matt Walsh claiming he had a video of the Rams before Superbowl XXVI (Danny: that is roman numeral for 36), then Willie Andrew getting caught with ½ pound of Lawrence’s finest bud, then there was talk about retiring players, players leaving, ex players bad mouthing the team, recently Kevin Faulk was busted trying to sneak in a video camera…ummm, I mean 2 blunts into a Lil Wayne show, and just yesterday we released one of our most productive, when healthy, defensive players, Rosie Colvin. To put things simply: The month the Pats are having is very closely rivaling the roll Britney Spears is currently on (over/under 5.5 months before she pulls a Ledger. Any takers?)

This isn’t to say that Dan Shaughnessy will be writing “The Last Night of the Patriots Dynasty” anytime soon, but this is definitely a string of rather large chinks in the Pat’s armor. Some of these things can be easily fixed; I have a feeling that Rosie will be coming back to the Pats, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Pats make a run at former corner back, Ty Law, who was recently release from the Chiefs (and whom I also recently saw at the Celts-Cavs game, and from the looks of it I think he’s been enjoying those chicken fingers baskets they have at the Garden a little too much). We also look poised to re-sign Randy Moss, and from people I know who are “well connected”, apparently the only thing holding up the deal is a clause he wants in his contract that would make it mandatory that Willie Andrews and Kevin Faulk invite him to any and all concerts/parties/functions they attend while on the Patriots. We also hold San Fran’s pick in the draft (#7), and with a decent chance no difference makers will be left at line backer, I’m thinking that we trade the pick for a package of lower picks, and then let Belichick and Pioli work their magic. I’m also hoping that our offensive line takes up the Debbie and Roger Clemens work out regime so they don’t get tossed around like 4^th grade girls next year.

So what if our season ended worse than the season finale of The Sopranos, there is no question that when the odds come out the Pats will still be the favorites to win it all. While that may not be consolation for what happened a month ago, its still hope, and we and as we all know, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

As always, thanks for skimming, and if you actually read this entire rambling, well the least I can do is buy you a beer. Send us any thought/questions/comments you might have to TheSportsHub@gmail.com
