Steal This Thread! - Week 10

I've noticed that there are a couple people who frequent this blog (no names, but their initials are SMP and C.S) that display severe cases of Attention Deficit Disorder and social anarchy. While there is nothing wrong with that IMHO, it does tend to detract from the football-centric nature of the blog. I got the message MaPatsFan.
It is great fun, however, and lets us get to know each other somewhat in our anonymity. As this is a community, albeit one that espouses the love of the Patriots, getting to know one another and sharing our experiences helps to strengthen the feeling of community. Many of the other SB Nation blogs have thread(s) dedicated to this end. Alas, PatsPulpit does not. Perhaps, I may be of service there.
From MaPatsFan: I don't mind thread stealing as it gives people a chance to get a little "goofy". However, I DO like the idea of a separate thread.
This thread (named in dubious honor [or honour for Comedic.Sans] of a book titled Steal This Book) is a thread that was designed to be stolen. Random thoughts, check. Inane observations, perfectly fine. Multiple segues, the more the merrier. Goofy pictures, haiku, whatever. If the thread gets unwieldy, I'll create a new sandbox for us to play in. Feel free to jump in, the water's fine.
A couple restrictions, however. To keep this from becoming a war, we need to steer clear of politics, and religion.
We'll start after the jump.
A new look (but not too closely) at Bill Belichick
He's divorced, so he can squire anyone he bloody well likes. But he still seems an unlikely Casanova. What is it that makes Belichick such a chick magnet?
Some people can't resist. On one blog, which railed against Belichick's hoodie, one commenter wrote, "Bill Belichick is sexy in anything he wears, for an older guy he is so HOT." We'll grant that Belichick is hotter than other NFL coaches, like Bill Parcells or Marty Schottenheimer, but he's no Jon Gruden.
The views expressed in these FanPosts are not necessarily those of the writers or SBNation.

Went looking for the perfect picture to use as Darth Hoodius
Then I ran into this. Was quite speechless and a little ill.

From Club Paradise:
Jack Moniker: I once met a proud, black man such as yourself, and I gave him a small piece of advise: wear one glove, just one glove. Do you know who that was?
Ernest Reed: No.
Jack Moniker: Willie Mays.

Can't be OJ's gloves, because we know they wouldn't fit.
Can’t be MJ’s because there are two of them.
Can’t be Belichick’s, because he would have cut the fingers off – hoodie style. It’s a real poser.

My mom went to high school in a town in Iowa that was nicknamed Melon City.
My grandparents and most of my uncles on that side live(d) there. I still remember the smell (not so nice) from the soy bean processing plant that let me know we were getting close. Middle America on the Mississippi.

I can see it a little
but Shatner had that quizzical (supposed to be deep thinking) expression that you never see from Belichick. Other than that, I think Belichick would do well with a phaser. Ever hear the song on Dr. Demento?
Kirk: “We come in peace. Shoot to kill. Shoot to kill. Shoot to kill. We come in peace. Shoot to kill. Shoot to kill, men.”
That sort of fits Belichick as well.

Might be why they *have* a frigate
Although if Manning ever got hurt, they’d need a destroyer or cruiser, just to fit the dome in.

there haven’t really been any yet. Emphasis on yet. The intelligent, informed football fans that have insightful things to say tend to do so early on in the week… and then get usurped by the “Manning BEST EVAR, Tom Brady inappropriately touches small children” come later.

One guy tried to bait me into the Brady-Manning debate
But I told him that I considered that more like a dick measuring contest. If he wanted me to concede that Manning was the bigger dick, I would.
If they switched teams, there may possibly be a way to resolve the debate. Other than that, it’s pointless. Are they handing off when they’re supposed to? Are they completing passing when they need to? Are they helping the team to be successful? What more do you want?
If the coach asks the one guy to throw for 400 yds while the other coach wants to see 150 yds on the ground, it isn’t a reflection on the player at all. It is probably just game planning for the opposition. They’re both first ballot Hall of Famers with die hard fan followers that won’t be swayed.
It’s like trying to convince someone that New Zealand beer is the best. Won’t happen.

The thing that makes me sick about that game is they try to make it Favre vs Rodgers
When the real stories are Favre’s ego vs the Packers fandom
and Rodgers’ lack of O-line vs Jared Allen.
Rodgers has put up good numbers in both outings with a poorer supporting cast.

Especially when...
the Pro Bowl will most likely be Tom and Peyton for the AFC (Schaub and Rivers might deserve it, but TB and PM have the fanbase and reputation) and the NFC being Drew Brees and (gag) Brett Madden Favre.
So all the real brothers get named while the mail-man’s son gets to watch on TV. Ouch.

If the Patriots were an element, what would they be?
The Pats have a few choices for elements:
P – Phosphorus #15 – burns up, probably not the best choice though Vito “Babe” Parilli as #15 is a good choice.
Pa – Protactinium #91 – radio-active and unstable (like having TO on your team – sheds a bad light on Myron Prior)
Pt – Platinum #78 (Bruce Armstrong, T, jersey retired), color is perfect.
The Pats are Platinum!
