Why won't someone put a baseball bat to Tom Brady's knee? Where is Jeff Gilooly when you need him? These fuckers need to be run out of the league. I can't take their pompous, obnoxious asshole attitude anymore.
This is exactly why the Miami Dolphins '72 need to remain the only post-merger perfect season in league history. They are not smug. Sure, they're proud of the season, & have their little champagne toast each year when the last undefeated loses for the first time -- though one year, it was a little weird, when that team was the Brian Griese-quarterbacked Broncos, which meant Bob Griese had to root against his son (then again, just like Tom Brady, #### that Ann Arbour ####) -- but they shut up about it, otherwise. Not 'til this year did Mercury Morris bring his proto-rap to SportsCenter, in the wake of SpyGate & the very real possibility that the humourless Capt. Hoody & the Social Conservative (except for he) Quarterback Cock of Invincibility would finish the regular season, at least, without a loss. But now, now, if the Patriots win 'em all, we'll endure Bill Simmons for time immemorial slurping Brady like BS's name is Bridget Moynihan, & the rest of the MASShole Nation running their mouths. Do we want that? Do we? Do we??
No, we don't.
& before you #### go off about Don Shula's own cheating ways, leaving the Balto Colts in the lurch after SB3, let's not forget that Belichick did his own team switch in late '99/early '00. After Parcells retired "unexpectedly" from the Jets, Belichick was hand-picked as the successor & accepted the job. Within 48 hours, though, Belichick performed the dance we later saw from Dana Altman at Arkansas, & moved over to the Patriots (Belichick's & Parcells's prior coaching stop). That left the Jets on the hook for a coach -- they hired Al Groh from Parcells's offensive staff; he was gone within the year, though, to coach at his alma mater, UVa -- then to suffer the Herm Edwards era, & now the uneven Eric Mangini.
Of course, in Belichick's defense, that cougar that he #### & dumped in the Jersey swamps just wouldn't let go. He had to get away, to another state, to keep her off his back.
