Amusing commentary on Blount

So...nobody needed this guy? Colts? Cardinals? Lions? None of you needed 78 bruising yards and two touchdowns for the price of a waiver claim? Blount is not easy to get along with, but you don't really have to get along with a power runner, folks. Just give him the football when you need tough yardage and suggest a hole for him to run through.
Sometimes, the New England Patriots seem like the only franchise that is just trying to gain the small, necessary advantages needed to win a series of football games, rather than establish a "Great Society" built on the neo-Lombardian philosophical vision of some career defensive coordinator.
Blount's a pain in the rear, but if your team chemistry cannot handle five weeks of broken tackles on a work-for-hire basis, your team chemistry probably is not ready to handle a lot of things.
Blount and Ndamukong Suh exchanged words after the Patriots' 34-9 win over the Lions. Lots of players stayed between them to make sure hostilities did not escalate beyond trash talk. But maybe Blount and Suh should fight. Maybe all of the repressed anger on earth would get absorbed by the conflict and released in a seismic blast of punches and jolly stomps.
After the shockwaves subside, free from our burden of pent-up rage, the human race can then abandon war and establish a Great Society, built upon the neo-Lombardian philosophical vision of some career defensive coordinator.
