Being the Steelers fan that I am, it is programmed in my DNA to loathe the classless Brady and Belicheck and all things New England. Fuck them. I've been waiting all season to see someone lay the smackdown on that smug asshole and end his season. Well, now I feel like less of a jealous asshole because Michael Wilbon and Charles Barkley agree with me. Barkley was the guest today on PTI and he basically said "somebody's gonna put a hit out on Tom Brady." Classic stuff. Hopefully, I can find a video of this soon. As for Wilbon, here's an excerpt from his Washington Post column:
"The Redskins' coaches shouldn't have to say a word. The players, sensing what was going on, should have done whatever necessary to drill Brady right in his strike zone. If Brady walked off the field without help, it would have meant the Redskins didn't hit him hard enough. If it brought a penalty or two, so what? The score was meaningless at that moment. Establishing the team's willingness to make the Patriots pay for their boldness is all that should have mattered"
Bravo Wilbon, bravo. It's just a shame the Redskins couldn't get the job done. If the Patriots continue their "Insufferable Douchebags '07" campaign, someone, on some team will start taking cheap shots. For the sake of the NFL, it has to happen. Please, man up NFL defenses because we're all really, really sick of it. It can't happen soon enough.
