It ranks up there with hiring Bill Parcells, Bill Belichick, having Mr. Kraft become owner, drafting John Hannah & Leon Gray, and, oh yeah, some skinny kid out of the Michigan Stinkbears.
This team on paper--which granted has never ever won a game in football history--is by far the best Patriots team ever assembled. No disrespect to the teams of yesteryear. To Ted Washington, Willie, Teddy, Andre Tippett, Don Blackman, Russ Francis, Tim Fox, Stanley Morgan, Steve Grogan, Clayton Weisuhn, Sugar Bear Hamilton, Julius Adams, Don Cryder, Steve Morgan, the late Mosi Tatupu, hell, even J.R. Redmond.
We should all celebrate with our wives, girlfriends, pet iguana, or whatever. Buy the champagne and chill it for further use.
It's dangerous, cuz our expectations are so high. Will anyone be satisfied with anything less than the Super Bowl? Of course not.
Is there a cindarella team like the 2001 Patriots this year? Time will tell.
But this day is the greatest single day free acquisition bagging in history. Opposing coaches won't get much sleep. They will struggle against incontinence. They will mumble profanities in their sleep. Their wives will get no play. Their children will be ignored.
Albert Haynesworth will push offensive linemen ontop of their QBs. Chad Johnson will be turned into Jerry Rice with our QB. Special Forces will desire to wear Patriots caps as they travel the tundra. Tom Jackson of ESPN will put a Patriots bumper sticker on his Lexus.
We added have two supremely gifted athletes at positions of need--among the very best in their category--in the last few years of their playing careers...who want to be here. Who desperately want a ring.
Tom Brady can pick up a crystal meth habit and we can win the SB. Brian Hoyer at QB? No problem, we can win it all. I'm scared because what comes after hubris?
The fall.
But sit back and enjoy it, cuz it's going to be one wild ride. And I think the Jets won't be able to stop us. Or anyone else.
haha
