(Insert Name Here) Blowout!


I'm not about to use the logo or name the game and get sued.

It's that time of year again, that big game that I refuse to name for fear of getting sued is coming up on Sunday and I figured it was about time to write something new. So, without further ado, this is my bonanza on the game, or as I like to call it, me writing about one or two topics about the game that I care about.

Tom Brady And His Boot:
About a week ago, the story broke through footage from TMZ that Tom was wearing a boot on his plant foot, immediately it was all that you heard about on the WWL and multiple other news outlets. Now, I could be wrong about this, but I really don't care about whether Tom is wearing a boot or not. Yeah, it could be considered news, but at the same time I don't think it is threatening to their performance in the game unless something comes out about him having a serious injury, which has yet to happen. The only bright spot of this was the joking about who was going to play quarterback that went on between the receivers, it only would have been better if later in the week a story broke about Randy Moss wearing a boot, then Wes Welker, then Adalius Thomas and so on throughout the roster. The thing for me is that I would see wearing the boot as a preventative measure at this point, very similar to a pitcher icing his arm and wrapping it after a game or a running icing their knees after a race, if I was a professional football player I would be wearing one after a game if i even stepped the wrong way during or after the game.

Randy Moss Being A Quitter:
A year ago Randy Moss essentially "quit" the Raiders. Now, he is in the big game playing for the undefeated Patriots, and apparently some people in the media have taken issue with that. Screw that, anyone of his calibre that happened to be playing for the Raiders under Art Shell should have done the same thing. The Raiders were, are, and always will be a sinking ship until Al Davis calls it quits, whether with the time or life. Congratulations to Randy Moss, you did what you had to do to get out of Oakland and into a winning team where you have shown that you can mature and become a team player as opposed to classic Randy.

Those are two of the stories I wanted to preach on before the game, there will be more in the coming days...be excited.
