Death, Taxes and Tom Brady

There are only a few certainties in life: they are as follows.. death, taxes and Tom Brady. Tom Brady has been listed as probable on the Patriots injury report just about every game prior to 2008, but I have no doubts that Tom Brady will be starting and on his way to another strong playoff run.

I was at the bar the other night (this is rare I promise!). My buddies and I are trying to predict Tom Brady's touchdown passes and how many will be split up between the Patriots two leading receivers Moss and Welker.

In my opinion Tom Brady will probably throw between 40-43 TD passes this year. Of them I'd say about 17 TDs for Randy Moss and 6 to Wes Welker.

The argument from everyone else is Tom Brady's health, the offensive co-ordinator, Fred Taylor etc. I'm thinking Fred will get plenty of Carries but.. Tom Brady is going to be putting the team on his "shoulder" and taking the pressure off the running game ( i know this is the opposite of what most teams want but.. most teams don't have Tom Brady).



I'm curious to find out what everyone thinks. How many touchdowns will Tom Brady throw this year? Will he appear as probable or questionable on the Injury Report?

One thing is for certain TOM BRADY will be TOM BRADY. He's been hit hard a thousand times, he wasn't fragile before his injury and he's not fragile now. Don't buy into the ESPN hype on the "sore shoulder".

Brandon Marshall to the Patriots?

Brandon Marshall has been suspended by the Denver Broncos for his recent behavior.




Obviously Marshall is upset about his contract and he wants a new contract or to play for the New England Patriots. Well, he didn't really say that but who the hell wouldn't want to play for the Patriots?



And shit...What Patriots fan doesn't want Brandon Marshall on their team? So Josh McDaniels (or Mack Daddy as we use to call him in high school) if you're reading this, we want your man. We are willing to send over Kevin Faulk, and Joey Galloway.

Brandon Marshall instead of handing the ball to the ball boy decided to PUNT the ball. Belichick will LOVE THIS! Versatility! He can punt? Hell let's throw in Chris Hanson.

In all seriousness though, this guy needs out of Denver and fast. What better team to join than the New England Patriots?

There is NO way Brandon Marshall comes to the Patriots. EVER.
