Look. I understand, it’s a business. Legacy is great and all, but the bills need paying simple & plain. You know this and the PATS are the masters at this. So, goodbye Asante, it was nice knowing ya. Sure, I know your jaded and rightfully so, you were good, real good, but big time players get paid for making the big time plays. Right? We both know your dropping that game ending pick Sunday cost you millions of dollars. Think the PATS won’t start your contract negotiations with that? I’d be beating myself over the head too; even I thought you had it. Would it be wrong to proselytize that instead of seeing the football you saw dollar signs as that pass spiraled towards you? What are the Vegas odds that in a non-contract year, you make that pick easily and the 2008 PATS roll into history? Tell me where to stand, because I’d take those odds all day long knowing you’re money.

Now, I know what you’d say and the PATS know it too. You are money. Hobbs is just a back up nickel back pretending to be a 3 down player, so you guys need me like TI needs TIP. Gay, sure he’s great, but like TIP we keep passing each other in the mirror and then the shit mysteriously breaks. See you in 6 months Randall, maybe Rodney and Seau can lend you some of their rejuve-juice so 10 years and like 100 picks later you’ll be HOF too. Seriously though, Gay, you were one of the PATS who showed me something else Sunday. There will always be spots for players like yourself on our team.

I think that ultimately the bold play is this… move Harrison to nickel, he can moonlight blitzing, have fun stopping the run, and won’t be able to break a linebacker’s arm. Sorry Senor Seau, I’m retiring you now, please remember to discard your popcorn on the way out… oh and don’t forget Wilson too, you guys can catch that next flick together. Sanders I now promote you to SS with Sir Merriweather at FS. From now on I’m just going to call Merriweather “kid instinct”. Pioli/Belicheck please draft me another money corner to play with and resign me, or I guess you could try Plan Brown and I-smoke-a-lot Andrews. PATS fans out there, isn’t that the play??? After all if that doesn’t work, we both know you’ll get a $15 mil bonus and $9 mil over 4 years somewhere else.
