David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez are in camp on time! What? No! Hold on let me vomit. People continue to talk about this story like Red Sox Nation should be rejoicing, just because two players did what every Yankee has done since 1990. We should not be giving Manny pats on the back just because he did what he was supposed to do.
Did someone say Pats? I just can't get over the fact that the "mighty Patriot dynasty" might just get brought down by a golf pro named Matt Walsh. Belichick said he couldn't pick Walsh out of a crowd, well that's to bad because that guy is about to screw you over. I don't know, for me I always thought it would be a guy like Peyton Manning or Brett Farve that would end the dynasty of the Patriots, not Matt Walsh. What makes me angry though is the response of the NFL. If you have the amount of money that the NFL does you can put forth a pretty good investigation. So you mean to tell me that you can't interview every former or current Patriots employee during the Belichick era? Why did this guy slip through the cracks? It almost looks like the NFL was trying to cover this up. Now I'm not accusing the NFL of doing this, but it has to be considered at least a little bit. Why destroy the evidence so quickly? Why let an employee slip through the investigation process? Why would Walsh have to sign a agreement with the Pats about disclosing information? This screams something bad to me, or good in my case because nothing would give me more satisfaction then seeing this dynasty fall harder then Rome.
Why not just kill the dreams of every Boston sports fan? I have my first ever sports theory, this one is simply called the screwing of cities theory. Take the 2001 Yankees for example. After loosing the 2001 World Series in horrible fashion, notice how the Giants fell apart right after a Super Bowl appearance? That doesn't bother me being a Bills fan, but the Jets where never that relevant either [ even better] , during this time frame the tragedy known as the Knicks also came to be [ the team I sadly call my favorite Basketball team] the Rangers never won anything, the Mets choked away everything that came their way, and the Islanders where horrible. I am not including New Jersey teams because that is a whole different sports area to me. This is where the theory kicks into overdrive. Everyone this side of England knows that New York's major rival is Boston. Notice how after the Yankees lost the 2001 series the Patriots upset the Rams [with a little help from friend of the blog Matt Walsh] and started their "dynasty" . The first Red Sox world title in 86 years would come a few years later and now the Celtics have the best record in the East. Enter the 2008 Super Bowl. The same situation as the 2001 Yanks. A team who is heavily favored but is upset by a team that no one gave a chance, and the balance of power shifts to the rival city. While I would love it if that momentum swung upstate for football, but as long as I can see the Yankees beat the Red Sox in the series I would be more then happy. Maybe a Knicks turnaround into next season? Picking up LeBron when he becomes a free agent? Don't laugh.
So that is my first sports theory, wow I feel like Bill Simmons minus the high voice and wife. It is also 10 degrees outside of my house while I bet it is still sunny and 75 over in L.A where Simmons hangs out. Oh well, he won't be laughing during October. Mission 27!
