Well, simply put, the New England Patriots needs Julius Peppers because they have no pass rush.   Burgess was a joke, he had something like 5 sacks, many of those coming late in the season.  Where was he the rest of the season.  They brought this guy in as a PASS RUSHING SPECIALIST, yet he did NONE of that.  That’s fantastic.  Back to the point at hand here.  Julius Peppers is a premier defensive end.  He is (was, if he doesn’t sign a new contract) for Carolina what Richard Seymour …

Just a couple quick things I’d like to conclude after sitting on my couch sipping my coffee:
1.  I’ll borrow this one from ESPNs Stuart Scott:  The Celtics & Lakers have combined to win more than half of the total amount of NBA Championships played (33 of 63).  Celtics of course have the most, with 17.
2. The Pro Bowl is a joke.  It’s even worse that it comes before the Super Bowl this year.  That way, the best players can’t even play.  That’s awesome, way to go Roger Goodell.
3. Peyton Manning …

I would say this one is over.  But the 2006 AFC Championship Game is the first thing that comes to mind when making this claim.  I thought the Patriots started a bit flat when the Colts drove the length of the field and scored that opening TD with ease, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say the Pats have looked unreal since then.  I guess we have to wait for the rest of this game to be played out, but hopefully Moss catches a couple more TDs and we …

Really looking forward to this game.  I just want to start out by saying I hate Joey Porter with a burning passion.   This guy has a hard-on for being a huge douche bag.  What gives buddy?  Were you neglected as a child?  Give me a fucking break.  I hope someone on the offensive line buries this guy once and for all.
Brady needs to throw at least three TDs for me to be happy, and Maroney needs to show he’s the running back worth the 1st round pick four years …

So the Patriots have a fairly tough road ahead of them by way of their 2009 Season schedule.  That NFC South is going to be a lot to handle, especially with The Saints & The Falcons, each with great offenses (and we know the Patriots secondary has sucked royally the past few years; hopefully that will change this year with the addition of Shawn Springs & Leigh Bodden).
I’m very very excited for the 2009 season to get under way.  Since the Patriots traded Matt Cassel & Mike Vrabel I have been …
