What’s Next for the Patriots
February 28, 2009 by SOS · Leave a Comment
In a very surprising move yesterday that Patriots agreed to trade Mike Vrabel to the Kansas City Chiefs for an undisclosed draft pick, or at least we think. This move hasn’t been officially announced so there could be more in the works. Would the Chiefs be interested in Matt Cassell as well? Do the Patriots have a Vrabel replacement in waiting (other than Shawn Crable who didn’t play a down last year). Are the Patriots going after Julius Peppers, who would fill the void left by Vrabel and move to OLB from the DE position he played in Carolina. Could the Pats simply be getting rid of a player that they think has his best days behind him and opening up some cap room to keep Matt Cassell? The Vrabel move saves the Pats more than $3million on this year’s cap.
What is Mike Vrabel’s worth as far as a draft pick goes? He is a soon to be 34 year OLB with a lot of mileage on his legs, coming off a season with only 4 sacks. If the Pats only get a pick I am thinking that it would be a 3rd or 4th round selection. Not sure if that Pats value that more than someone who fits well into their scheme and in the locker room.
I think that this is a great move for the Chiefs who get a veteran who comes from a winning franchise and helps the worst pass rush in the history of the NFL (only 10 sacks last year). Scott Pioli is already making a big impact bringing in “his” guys. Replacing Sperm Edwards with Todd Haley, pulling a Gordon Ramsay and telling Brian Waters to basically “piss off” and now trading for Vrabel. I am assuming that he has a lot more work to do in figuring out whether to trade or keep Tony G and Larry Johnson.
The Patriots also announced the signings of “Fragile” Freddy Taylor and TE Chris Baker the Touchdown Maker, who has been on everyone’s fantasy team during a bye-week at some point in the last three years. Can Fred Taylor be the 2009 version of Corey Dillon, in one word “no”. The Pats will most likely use the committee approach to keep Freddy T, Sammy Morris and Maroney all healthy. The Baker move is interesting because the Pats now have 36 TE’s on the roster and none of them are better than average.

What a way to Go Out

I know I guy that couldn’t win this bet if the time was 12 seconds, you might know him.
THIS was one bet Sergey Tuganov was determined to win.
British newspaper, The Sun, reports the 28-year-old Russian man died after taking a bottle of Viagra pills for an apparent 12-hour sex romp.
Two women told Moscow police they bet Tuganov $US4300 that he wouldn’t be able to satisfy them during a non-stop half day sex marathon.
The mechanic died of a heart attack minutes after winning the wager, Moscow police said.
“We called emergency services but it was too late, there was nothing they could do,” said one of the female participants who identified herself only as Alina.
Medics said he most likely died from the quantity of Viagra he had ingested.
There are 30 pills in an average 100mg bottle of Viagra.

Chad Finn Slams WEEI – I somewhat agree
February 26, 2009 by SOS · Leave a Comment
Boston.com OT Sports Blog writer had an excellent blog posting today that can be found here, in which he rips apart WEEI radio programming. He makes some valid points and I think he is a little overly critical. I do agree that the station is so successful because of the market place it is in, but the shows for the most part are entertaining. I am only able to listen to Dennis & Callahan every morning, which is the show I like best. Callahan is such a sideshow and the angriest white man ever it makes my traffic filled commute somewhat enjoyable. I really stopped listening to the channel full time as the homer-ism and extremely biased point of views continued to get worse. Plus, some of the hosts just aren’t credible, it gets really annoying hearing some slapdick trying to talk about sports when he regurgitates something one of the WEEI co-hosts said earlier that day.
This was a great plan by Finn as he got a full days worth of free pub. Unlike some of the station’s members, Finn actually has an opinion and wrote a pretty compelling article. On the other hand, the station’s personalities do a good job of getting people to tune because you never know what they are going to say next. Liberals hate when Gerry Callahan talks politics, Conservatives love it! John Meterparel always picks against the local team (sans BC) when they have a big game. John Dennis threatens to castrate others and records it. Pete Shepard & Fred Smerlas are the biggest Patriot butt boys ever. But they all have a dream job that pays them very well, while we rant on crappy little blogs.
