Welcome back, David. You still must have something in the tank, and lord knows you have the championship mentality for the locker room (and could be a good mentor on being tiny and effective to Edelstein while Welker is out), so let’s hop in the way back machine and fahkin’ do this!
Please tell me a still spry and able Deion Branch isn’t far behind you.
Whether you or your dad or your dad’s dad were around to see him play you loved Mosi Tatupu for a million and one reasons - his name, his grit, his versatility, the mustache, his toughness, his name - through thick and thin, good and bad, Super and shitty, you could always love you some Mosi Tatupu. When you froze your ass off at Sullivan/Schaeffer/Foxboro Stadium you could always count on Mosi to give it the proverbial 110%. Especially when you didn’t know the name off half the bums out there without a Grogan or Hannah or Morgan on their back. He was so awesome his name was even a joke on “The Simpsons”. “Everybody Loves Tatupu” was the sitcom that never was but shoulda been made. I’d have loved to have bought a beer for him and Jimmy Snuka, my two favorite Polynesian athletes ever. RIP, Mosi.
I think we should all grow Mosi Tatupu mustaches in his honor. Who’s with me?
The Patriots and Vince Wilfork are still dating. They’re just in a bit of a “franchise” period right now. But he has been tagged. So you ain’t getting something for nothing, OK?
Who has two thumbs, didn’t want to get franchise tagged, but did, and still hopes to get a big fat long-term deal?
It’s a good day for Pats fans, ‘cuz big Vince ain’t going nowhere. The team catering crew at Foxboro just doubled their order for everything this fall as well.
I’m breathing a small sigh of relief today. He’s the man you build your defense around. LITERALLY. This gives the Pats time to work out the needed bigass extension. THEN we add some Julius Peppers to the mix. THEN we lock up TFB. THEN we have a kickass draft. THEN we kick everybody’s ass. Got it? Write that down, OK?
Also - and I know we have one crazy as balls receiver already, which is probably enough, but knowing that Mossman might be literally, or at least figuratively, going off the reservation, does anyone out there think it’s too bananabrained to sign T.O.? I say full-steam-ahead FAHK IT and you sign him for a year. Just come out with all villainous guns blazing in the uncapped year, dickpunch ‘em all and get that 4th ring. To hell with what other people think of of them/us/you/everyone. GO FOR IT!
I would love to say about TFB, “That’s my teammate. That’s my quarterback.” Without all the pussytears.
Whaddya think? Have I totally lose my fahkin’ mind?
You try and make a simple Super Bowl 44 prediction video, albeit a very biased and anti-Colts one, and guess who shows up? Man, this jackass really is everywhere!
...I think Rex Ryan is pretty effin’ funny. Now before you lose your shit or wonder what I’m smoking or who’s brainwashed me or what watermelon pod was discovered by my bedside last night, just allow for this; if you think of sports in entertainment terms then Rex Ryan is perhaps the best vintage villainous WWF wrestling manager working today. He’s gotten our blood boiling from Day 1, making sure the Pats/Jets rivalry continues to escalate. And he wasted no time in starting shit with the Dolphins, making him THE bad guy of the division. Then, following the Jets playoff run, he has the stones to taunt the Dolphins fans at an MMA event IN MIAMI last Saturday night. He might be a flaming a-hole with an aversion to salad, but his cache of entertaining villainy is expanding as quickly as his waistline. And it kinda cracks me up. Check this interview out...
Funny shit. I still hate his team, but this guy might be alright for the entertainment of the game.
That said, again, I can’t say enough how the Pats need to sign Wilfork. He’s one of ur most important, and entertaining, and buffet-busting figures as well. What do I have to do, make a video about this shit? OK, fine!
Why is Seyton Manning so good? What does to he do to maintain that level of excellence? What are his pre"Big Game” rituals? Find out in this brand new video from GFY pal Mike Weingartner.
Also, Cheers and Ice Cold Beers to TFB for being named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team. As Red in Shawshank said, “That’s goddamn right.”
Final thought - seriously, Pats, WTF is up with not throwing some money Vince Wilfork’s way? You don’t have to pay him by the pound, but he needs to stay, deserves some bucks, and is young (and BIG) enough to be the core of a defense that is decent but definitely in transition. None of us, from Foxboro to the fans, want to see another A-hole-sante Samuel situation here. The Seymour trade last fall sucked out loud (and hurt the team). We loves the Wilfork. He’s earned the cash. And last we all checked he wasn’t the reason we had zero point zero pass rush in 2009. The NFL might very well be uncapped this fall. So let’s uncap the Kraft Family money well and spill some green love for the big fella, alright? Thank you and GOOD DAY!
Now’s the time to get the only shirt you’ll need for “The Big Game” on Sunday February 7th. That’s right - only one shirt says “I’m rooting for the Saints, but since they’re not my official team I can’t buy their shirt, but what I can rally around the idea of rooting against the Colts by wearing a relatively creative anti-Manning shirt!”
That’s right kids - get yours now before we sell out - the Seyton manning shirt - priced right at only $10, plus $3 shipping and man-handling. Just click HERE to go right to the order page and get the shirt you’ll get way more than one wear out of. It’s timeless! You can wear it whilst rooting against him/for the Saints during SB 44, plus whenever your favorite team plays him, or just whenthefuckever!
Is he one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game and makes throws that sometimes cause my jaw to leave a dent in the floor while I fill my adult diaper with awe? Hellzyeah! Do I root against him with every football fiber in my beer-soaked self now and well past forever? You know it, Papi! And I know Saints fans can’t REALLY root against him because he’s from the city and he loves it and does so much for it, plus his dad is from there and played for the Saints and does so much for N’Awlins and blah-blah-fahkin-blah! Even if it makes a one-time wear on Super Bowl Sunday against the Colts it’s $13 well spent.
Also - in case you missed it, the funniest sports video making the rounds now is also the most heartbreaking; the Vikings fan dad who goes from zero to apeshit when Favruh threw the 2nd dumbest INT of his life Sunday. This guy is so me 10 years from now, just 1,000 miles west.
