Tom Brady? He’ll kill ya. If he catches you half asleep, he’ll punch you right in the face with the stretch—he’ll hand the ball to Woodhead, or Green-Ellis, or Ridley, or Faulk. Guys aren’t ready. They’re not ready. He’ll do it five plays in a row, on national TV, in front of the world. And he loves nothing more than humiliating you. Because I know this: he humiliated me. It’s a hell of a system they have, and he is the greatest trigger of our lifetime. Look at him! He’s snapping these plays off before the Jets are ready. You can be as multiple as you want on defense, but, when you play Tom Brady, he regulates you. He turns you into [whispered] trash.

Dear BB:

If you happen to get draft pick #199 next year PLEASE DRAFT A CORNERBACK with it. He can wear number 12 ½.

which is 12 backwards

As a fallback, just trade for all the 6th round picks you can find and pick OLBs, a Safety, and maybe another WR or two. They can all wear variants of the number 12.

#'s that have powers

draft a safety and give him #36 (or #37) and a CB with #22

Gruden is a two-faced idiot.

Yeah, but that's a great line.

Tom Brady turns you into trash. Awesome.

This guy doesn't know the meaning of two-faced idiot.

or a lot of other words.
