I thought it said "singing". One of those weird play on words.
Which is why he bled soA guy who once had a run in with Mo Lewis.
In reality, most people can't.I have never had the Bledsoe wine. Always felt it was too expensive. I am definitely not a connesseur. I mean, I enjoy red wine but I sure can't taste the difference between the $10 bottle of cabernet and the $50 bottle of cabernet.
My wife's family has been in the wine business for three generations, so I've had the opportunity to sample all sorts of wines. The difference between a $10 and a $20 red is pronounced. Between a $20 and a $50 less so, and above that you're wasting your money unless you have a very discerning palate.I have never had the Bledsoe wine. Always felt it was too expensive.

It's not Drew's fault he was ballyhooed, deified, worshipped and coddled. The same goes for Elway, Kelly, et al.I think PatsFans.com needs it's own whine.

Remember when some Jets fan started a rumor on the web that Bledsoe got traded? It looked legit and spread like wildfire. This was way before BB was HC and Brady. Pre Twitter for sure and maybe Facebook.It's not Drew's fault he was ballyhooed, deified, worshipped and coddled. The same goes for Elway, Kelly, et al.
The delusion concerning this player is greater than any subject in the history of Boston sports. The absurdity of Kraft's comparisons of him to Williams and Orr is matched by its irony as Kraft shrugged and said he was 'praying' when Brady, who actually is worthy of the GOAT comparisons, was in danger of leaving.
Drew was okay. Accomplished, well liked by his teammates. A nice person. Didn't have the acumen, awareness, timing, game management skills or ability to make exceptional plays under pressure in the clutch moments that the great ones do, but most don't. That's what makes those few great.
Joe Thornton is a good hockey player, but he's not the Second Best Forward In The History Of The Boston Bruins.
Drew retired because he refused to be a backup. Tony Eason was finally released by the Patriots because he refused to take a pay cut.
Bledsoe racked up a lot of passing yards. He did so because he was played.
Drew Bledsoe is The Most Overrated Athlete In The History Of Boston Sports.
Drew Bledsoe cannot carry Steve Grogan's or Doug Flutie's jockstraps any more than he can Tom Brady's.
Grogan played when he should not have: Specifically, when most people would be hospitalized. This can be judged as a fault. This attributed to many (or most) of his bad plays. Montana and Brady made their share of bad plays as well.
Grogan's injury list fills a medical chart. Bledsoe was touted as a hero when he literally played with an injured finger.
Much of this relates to the false laughingstock narrative, which fueled the suicidal logo and uniform destruction and the "It's been centuries since we had anything to cheer about here!" insanity of 1993.
It is mind numbing how people make Bledsoe out to be a hero how he [pouted] handled remaining on the bench while an obviously [to the sighted] vastly more effective player remained the starter, while Steve Grogan and Doug Flutie are ignored for how they handled being healthy, active and were benched in favor of Tony Eason.
The Patriots were, competitively, the joke the league treated them to be in 2001, and I had no realistic expectation of success, as long as Bledsoe, the new recipient of the richest contract in NFL history, was the starting quarterback. I watched, and I rooted, as always, but I wasn't fooling myself. I got hope when I first saw Tom Brady. Not when he played, but when he spoke to the media before his first start vs. Indy. That guy displayed the attitude of a winner.
This must be when Carroll was coach?Remember when some Jets fan started a rumor on the web that Bledsoe got traded? It looked legit and spread like wildfire. This was way before BB was HC and Brady. Pre Twitter for sure and maybe Facebook.
Patriots nation was in shock.
Personally i agree with youMy wife's family has been in the wine business for three generations, so I've had the opportunity to sample all sorts of wines. The difference between a $10 and a $20 red is pronounced. Between a $20 and a $50 less so, and above that you're wasting your money unless you have a very discerning palate.
In the early 90's, I took a wine tasting course with a client at Windows on the World atop of the World Trade Centers and after 6 weeks diligent study, we determined, after hundreds of guzzles....the more expensive the better....especially when the firm picks up the tab.My wife's family has been in the wine business for three generations, so I've had the opportunity to sample all sorts of wines.
