With all their boasting and arrogance of last year drained out the window with a devastating loss in Super Bowl XLII to the New York football Giants, their nation took an even steeper nosedive last week with the season-ending injury of their starting quarter back and last year MVP Tom Brady. Now nobody wants to see a person get a serious injury, but I'm going to steal a page from Sharon Stone's playbook and call this karma. The New England Patriots have a long and mysterious history of "cheating" and they were flagged for it last season. Imagine how many times they have gotten away with it? Maybe it is the reason for their 3 Super Bowl victories. Now without going into hate mode on this team, I will say that they have been given a chance to wipe their slate clean and rally behind this new quarterback Matt Cassel, who could be what Tom Brady was when Drew Bledsoe career was setting sail. The fact of the matter is that Tom Brady will never be the same quarterback again, even though he was a pocket quarterback. The throwing motion of a right-handed quarterback takes a great deal of strength from the left knee, which is where he has torn two ligaments. A lot of people are counting out Cassel after seeing the ace Brady go down, but he might prove himself beyond anybody's expectations. Even though I am not a Pats fan, I am always for the underdog.
