I’m not a glass half full kind of guy. Just ask my co-workers. But I see an opportunity here for the New England Patriots. The Pats have gone from “America’s Team” to the team people love to hate, and there is no more obvious target than the Patriots’ model-dating, GQ cover boy, who has gone from 7th round pick to NFL star to paparazzi plaything.
While it’s been nice watching the Pats win and win and win, one couldn’t help but notice that the Pats seemed to have lost that fire to compete when they played in the last Super Bowl. And, well, no one except loyal Pats fans was too upset by that.
Gents, the gauntlet has been thrown. Want to show that you’re still the rootin’-tootin’ gunslingers at the head of the corral? Step up. Nothing could turn around the team’s image more than having another unknown or unexpected QB take the team forward. So bring on Matt Cassel, Chris Simms, or Tim Rattay. It’s a chance for the Patriots to wiin back some fans by winning when it’s not expected.
And ultimately, isn’t that a truer test of character than building a kick-ass talent base?

A good point. On the other hand, it could also be a “See – Bellechick’s a cheater, so it doesn’t matter WHO he has” thing for Pats haters.
And no, you’re not a glass half-full guy. But it’s not you’re fault. You’re more of a “I managed to fill the glass halfway and now they want a glass in a different shade with a different liquid inside by noon.”
uh – “your” fault. After years of berating people for that mistake, please now smack me around for the beating I deserve.
