Tom Brady Don't Play No Defense

Correction to the last post: WE fear change.

The Patriots lost 30-10 to the Chargers last night in prime time, with the Pats looking like they didn't even belong on the same field as the Bolts. To quote a classic film: "I feel like I'm Han Solo, and you're Chewie, and she's Ben Kenobi, and we're in that fucked-up bar." Why are we stuck in bizzaro world? Early in this calendar year Patriots fans were pushing to copyright "19-0." This year? SportsCenter's Hannah Storm just told me "Without Tom Brady, these Patriots are a different team." No shit Hannah. Last night, Matt Cassel missed a wide open Randy Moss by 10-15 yards while Moss was in the end zone. He was also sacked four times. But the most disappointing thing about the Matt Cassel era? To me its our defense. To quote one of the smartest men I have ever met, "Tom Brady don't play no fuckin' defense." And that's the saddest part.
