Eat Crow, Marshall Faulk

Marshall Faulk is always finding some way to discredit the New England Patriots, for whatever reason. It's not his apparent bias that I care about, though - it's the way he came down hard on backup QB Matt Cassel and the New England Patriots early this (pre)season. Are you man enough to admit you were wrong, Faulk?

Straight from his mouth (regarding Matt Cassel):

"This guy could not get this team a win if Tom Brady got hurt and they had the lead."

Matt Cassel came into the Kansas City Chiefs game with 7 minutes to go in the first quarter, and the score was 0-0 at that time. On his first drive, the Patriots are pinned down at their own one-yard line on a 3rd and 11, and Cassel's first throw is a 51-yarder to Randy Moss. The Patriots won the game 17-10.

Matt Cassel's first official "start" in the NFL was a win on the road over the New York Jets, 19-10. He led his team on five scoring drives. That's twice he's led his team to victory, and twice he's proven Marshall Faulk wrong.

He's currently 29 of 41 (70.7%) for 317 yards, 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions (a 101.4 QB rating).

Faulk, I think Cassel deserves an apology.

That video clip makes my blood boil

However you want to describe the dynamic duo of Faulk and Sharpe, it’s anything but professional, and they wouldn’t recognize professionalism if it came from behind them bit them.

Their announcing skills are on the same level as two middle-schoolers off in a corner laughing at and making fun of the kids they don’t like. In fact, I kept hoping for all those dead-air moments – when they were supposed to be calling the play-by-play – just because it made those two shut up.

Keep the faith!

can't stand the lip service

that is one reason i majorly limit what i will read or hear. seems like a ton of
sour grapes goes with listening to the media. after the “big loss” in feb…tv went off until they settled down on their spin.

controversy seems to sell so much more. not sure why…
