Out with the new. In with the OLD!


Look! I am down when it comes to giving the elderly employment. If they are capable of picking up a phone, greeting customers as they walk in a Wal-Mart, cleaning off some tables, and passing magazines to patients in a hospital. But the last thing I want to see is one taking hits in the NFL!
How old is Vinny Testaverde? 60?! I think in his rookie year is when Jim Brown broke the NFL record for rushing in Cleveland! Bill Walsh just invented the "west coast offence"! Tom Landry was still coaching the Cowboys! And ABBA was touring the road with there hit song "Dancing Queen"!Ok, maybe not that damn old. But at 43. How effective can he be at his age with these new savage animal defensive players out for blood?.
Vinny Testaverde re-signed with the New England Patriots on Saturday for his 21st NFL season.Testaverde, the top overall pick in the 1987 draft by Tampa Bay after winning the Heisman Trophy at Miami, also has played for Cleveland, Baltimore, the New York Jets and Dallas.
He provides an experienced backup to Tom Brady. The Patriots other quarterback, Matt Cassel, has thrown just 32 passes in two seasons with the team after playing sparingly as a backup at Southern California.
He was out of the NFL last season when coach Bill Belichick, who had only two quarterbacks on the roster, asked if he wanted to be an insurance policy.
"We all knew what the situation was going to be. I knew I was the emergency guy," Testaverde said.
Are the Patriots that fucking desperate?! Out of all the experience younger quarterbacks out there. You pick up a guy who needs a fucking girdle to work?. So if the great "Tom ( I'm a whinny,little Bitch) Brady" get injured. You are going to bring out "old man river" out on the field to take a couple of snaps?! So you go the entire NFL draft not choosing a talented young quarterback. But getting a 3rd string backup from SoCal!What?. Tom Brady didn't want to have any competition with a younger and maybe even better arm?.
What the fuck do I care. The Pats are going to have a "eat ass" type of year anyway! They are overrated, and way past their prime in winning another Super Bowl! Tom Brady WAS good when he had that perfect offensive line a few years ago. And Belichick, despite being an NLF defensive genius. Cannot keep pulling rabbits out of his hat forever!
But getting Vinny is a bad sign for things to come for the Pats. What?. Jim Plunkett wasn't available?!
