Welcome to the Donkey Show.

Do you realize that NFL Training camps open in Less than 2 weeks?

STRENGTH
The top of the depth chart. A 1-2 punch of Randy Moss and Wes Welker is tough to stop on many levels, and also opens opportunities for the third receiver in three-wide packages.

WEAKNESS
After Moss, Welker and Jabar Gaffney, there is some uncertainty.

TOP QUESTIONS
Can Chad Jackson step into the role vacated by Donte’ Stallworth? Can Randy Moss (98 catches, 23 TDs) and Wes Welker (112 catches) duplicate their remarkable 2007 seasons? Will Kelley Washington emerge as more than a special teamer?

INSTANT ANALYSIS
The Patriots were in three-wide or four-wide packages on 67 percent of their offensive snaps in 2007, a reflection of how they wanted their playmaking receivers on the field. Donte’ Stallworth played in 60 percent of the team’s offensive snaps last season — most often as the Z receiver on the tight-end side — and that role is up for grabs. Chad Jackson, a second-round draft choice in 2006, has a golden chance to assume those responsibilities, with Jabar Gaffney and Kelley Washington also options. Gaffney is valuable in that he plays all the receiver spots. Although his official position is receiver, Sam Aiken was signed as a free agent more for his special teams skills, so he could be a sixth addition to the roster (the team kept five receivers out of camp last year). Fifth-round pick Matthew Slater, who is a return man with the ability to play safety and receiver, could also factor into the mix. C.J. Jones and Robert Ortiz are longer shots.

FUTURE
After re-signing with the Patriots for one year this offseason, Jabar Gaffney is lone player atop the depth chart with a contract that expires after the 2008 season. Chad Jackson (2009), Kelley Washington (2009), Randy Moss (2010), Wes Welker (2011) all have multiple years left.

Welcome to the Donkey Show

Check out this article from the Bleacher Report. It takes a Unbiased look at spygate. Arlen Specter was on tv yesterday calling for an unbiased inqury into this mess, Is he really serious Maybe he should call for a Congressional hearing on why we are paying 4 freaking dollars for a gallon of gas.

The Residents of Pennsylvania should Be Really Embarrassed that They have Elected this Dinosaur to congress over and over.

“What is necessary is an objective investigation, and this one has not been objective,” said Specter.

Since he is so objective himself being a Eagles and Steelers Fan. The fact that anyone Believes anything Matt Walsh says is really unbelievable. Read the article from the Bleacher Report. He is basing all his assumptions on what Matt Walsh has said to him. Never Mind the fact that Matt walsh was fired by the Patriots. The he stole the Tapes. Lied on his resume about his Job with the Patriots But we should believe that his is a fine upstanding American?. Seems Logical too me.

“Paolantonio starts by writing that some in the media have made a “hasty” conclusion that Spygate is over? Hasty—is that the correct word to describe a story that has lingered for over nine months?

The reason the story persisted was because of an article based on false accusations printed in the Boston Herald and adopted by ESPN and others, that a former Patriots’ employee had a video tape of a Rams’ practice.

A story by the way that ESPN and other media outlets refused to run on their own because they did not at the time find it to be credible. Good thing then they followed up by spending months talking about the not credible accusations. “

I was watching NFL live last night and got to listen to Mark Schlereth spout his Nonsense about cheating again. This is a Man who played for the Broncos who Like to Cut Block people and ruin careers. The fact that he thinks they could edit video and relay that info to the players during a game shows He took way too many blows to the head as a player. He should also know that Video is what the NFL is all about.

How about when the Dolphins admitted buying tape of the Patriots the week before they played. The NFL is all about SCOUTING, Say it with me SCOUTING and Video tape is part of that process. What do you think the Players do all week but look at tape of the upcoming opponent and thier tendenceys so for a Former Player to say what Mark Schlereth said is just plain retarded. I expect former Players to have a Reasonable insight into what goes on but these Lemmings just want to forget that aspect.

I Really hope their is a Congressional Hearing into this Matter But Only if they take a Look at EVERY TEAM in the NFL. Lets start this show up right bring every team in and ask them about thier Video taping procedures. Arlen specter wants to make this about the integrity of the League Fine open it up but I Know for a fact that the Majority of the owners want this to just go away Why? because they know that the Patriots are the not the only team Violating Rules. See the Colts and their Pumping in crowd Noise which is a VIOLATION OF NFL RULES. oh wait there is a coverup there to maybe.

AL can’t hang is the Man. He Just keeps getting Full Tilt to add More swag to the Kitty for us Bloggers.

Welcome to the Donkey Show

Listen to Brady Interview Here. it is 35 min but skip to 2nd to last arrow.

Now that we can Move past the Joke that was Tape gate You might want to listen to this Interview of Tom Brady on Weei. Talk about class You won’t hear the Best team didn’t win or any other bullshit talk. He is down to earth and tells it like it is. Skip to the 2nd to last arrow to hear about the SuperBowl and his thoughts on it Once again Tom Brady shows lots of class which is something the Chargers and Colts might want to learn. I know you all hate the Patriots and Tom Brady But he really does Personify what you want in your Franchise Quarterback. He is well spoken, Dates and Impregnates Hot Models/Actresses and Doesn’t pass the Blame. He also doesn’t stand there Blowing Kisses on the Sideline to an Opposing team Like the Retard in Sandiego and then saying The Best team Didn’t win or some other crap to justify your team losing.

Yes the Boston Herald Fucked up Royally. They Printed a story That was FALSE.

Boston Herald Apology:

We own up to error on walkthrough story

“On Feb. 2, 2008, the Boston Herald reported that a member of the New England Patriots [team stats]’ video staff taped the St. Louis Rams’ walkthrough on the day before Super Bowl XXXVI. While the Boston Herald based its Feb. 2, 2008, report on sources that it believed to be credible, we now know that this report was false, and that no tape of the walkthrough ever existed.

Prior to the publication of its Feb. 2, 2008, article, the Boston Herald neither possessed nor viewed a tape of the Rams’ walkthrough before Super Bowl XXXVI, nor did we speak to anyone who had. We should not have published the allegation in the absence of firmer verification.

The Boston Herald regrets the damage done to the team by publication of the allegation, and sincerely apologizes to its readers and to the New England Patriots [team stats]’ owners, players, employees and fans for our error.

So Can we finally put this to rest? or is Arlen Sphincter going to Pursue getting his Beloved Philadelphia Eagles their SuperBowl rings that they don’t deserve. Right after he Talked to Matt Walsh and Saw the Video of the Rams Walkthru, Oh wait there is No video of the Walk Thru see the Apology above. So when will Arlen Sphincter Specter Issue his Apology for Being so Fucking Wrong and Clueless and sticking his Nose where it didn’t belong in the first place since he is a U.S Congresman you would think he would have more important matters like the Mess In Iraq Or Fixing the Defecit or Making sure We can’t Play online Poker By Passing the Uigea.

Thats All I got for now.
Peace
The Not so Evil Wwonka
