"Just throw it away, Tom. We've re-signed Thomas Welch." (Mod Edit: to PS) - New England Patriots Forums

So much for the fond farewells posted by many, yesterday the Patriots brought back incredibly offensive lineman Thomas Welch. Tom Brady's safe while Welch stays on the Practice Squad.

Please join me by bowing your heads and praying for good health for the offensive line so that Thomas "The Usher" Welch doesn't get activated and Tom Brady killed.

Based on what I saw last week, this is one of the few instances where I can say I've never met the guy, but I hate him.

Kidding of course......kind of.

Really? Hate is pretty strong. For me to hate a guy on my team he's got to have something akin to John Lackey's magical formula of on-field douchebag + off-field major douchebag + sucktastic production + lockerroom cancer.

Let's take it easy on the guy. Hopefully he will learn from whatever mistakes he's made and come back strong. Hopefully he'll get another shot and do right by it.

I don't mind him on the team for depth at least until he learns his role better, but I certainly don't want him playing as much as he did last week.

Tito never manned up enough to say that. The guys were a bunch of a-holes, but the manager never seemed to do or say a thing about it. He supported "Lacks" to the end.

And look where it got him. Tito and Lackey's recently divorced-while-going-through-cancer-treatment now ex-wife should form a support group of people whose lives were ruined by John Lackey. Hell, I'd probably join in on the fun.

But I digress, carry on about Thomas Welch, nothing to see here.

Hopefully he'll never, evah get another shot here.

So how do you feel about Welch's execution?

I'm all for it.
