Patsfans.Com To Be Active in Free Agent Market?
FOXBORO -- Patsfans.Com is rumored to have immediate targets in the free-agent bulletin board market, according to BulletinBoardBulletinBoard.com.
Patsfans has been eyeing several high profile free agents, including LARamsFan, RyanTheColtsFan, and Warhorse. Neither Colts poster could be reached for comment, but LARamsFan released a brief statement.
"I am tickled pink to be UNDER CONSIDERATION of the EVIL EMPIRE!!!! My agent advised me not to talk further FOR LEGAL REASONS," LARF posted Tuesday. "MWAHAHAHAHA IT WORKED," he added enigmatically.
Although the "Visitors Locker Room" on Patsfans is under investigation for tampering, none of the three high-profile free agent posters actually stayed there, and so their signing would not be tainted by the investigation.
In other Patsfans news, PatsfanEuropa standouts MikeTheBrit and GomezCat have been brought in, after showing steady improvement through the 2006 campaign. One high-profile veteran was let go, according to sources, but no source will name him publically.
Turning to the draft, Patsfans scouts have been combing through collegiate bulletin boards, looking for standout posters at both inside and outside slacker, as well as corner slack and offensive innuendo positions. While Patsfans has been characteristically guarded about prospects, Patsfans will likely look for value and versatility from the college programs, valuing post-study and hard work over swagger. Anybody who catches Ian's eye on draft day, however, can expect a gruelling training camp. Just the game breakdown threads can go for dozens of pages, and grown men have torn their own heads off rather than read some of PatsFanInVa's tomes.
Of course, there will be the usual assortment of street free agents available to provide warm bodies in camp, hungry posters a year or two out of college, or who never attended college at all, just looking for a roster spot. While they don't bring a polished pro posting presence, their raw energy toughens up the squad before the real season begins, and they're usually not afraid to hit. The problem comes when injuries set in, and battered egos take their toll.
"It's one thing to have that guy in camp in July," said one moderator. "But developing one that makes the starting roster takes a lot of patience."
