From Boston.com. There are so many things wrong with this article, it's hard to know where to begin, and end.
First off, this article is about a simulated game. That's right a game simulated on the Madden '08 video game. On top of that, the writer, not content to fabricate an entire sporting event with computers, makes up fake Randy Moss quotes with his brain, which we will see, is much dumber than the computer brain foudn in my old Caleco-vision. One of those fake quotes is this gem: "I remember telling Tommy before the season, 'If we play like we're capable, can't no one stop us.'" Which is weird because he's not just making up a quote but an entire conversation that occured about 5 months ago.
Then he goes into this mind-numbing thing about analyzing the Pats off-season priorities and bringing back various free agents, but only from the perspective of knowing the results of this fake game where Randy Moss has earned himself "a few extra offseason dollars with [his] play Sunday." In a fake game. Are those real dollars?
It's also really annoying how he keeps describing a player using his speed as "turning on the blazers." Anyone ever heard this term before. Rockets or Jets maybe, but blazers? Then, continuing to discuss Moss's speed, he says on one play - in the fake game - Moss turned on" some of that 'The old Randy Moss is back' speed." Why not just call it the "old Randy Moss" speed. Doesn't that imply it is back? How is the old Randy back, when the old Randy was never even this good?
But the cake-taker is the fake quote from Bellichek in his post-game victory press-conference. "Asked to sum up a perfect season, Belichick paused as if searching for the perfect words to encapsulate the 2007 campaign. 'I'm not here to talk about the past,' he said, with a simulated smile."
This is a joke right? We all know Bill doesn't like to get into detail in his press-conferences but does this person seriously believe that some 30 minutes removed from winning a championship Bellichek will have to simulate a smile? That he won't reflect on the season because it's in the past? Like all he's thinking about is game planning to sit on the beach and drink Mai Tais.
Someone got paid to write this nonsense.
