Please Keep the Audi
The Patriots resign Randy Moss today. Somewhere, Tom Brady is smiling right now - and probably breathing a sigh of relief.
I see it like this - imagine your dad is uber-wealthy. But instead of ’spoiling’ you like all the other rich kids, he makes you ride around town in an old, beat-up station wagon. The kind with the wood paneling on the side (read: Patriots receivers of 2006). Then one year he splurges and gets you the car of your dreams - say, and Audi TT (read: Randy Moss and Patriots other 2007 receivers). And so for one year you are the man around town. The girls all want you, the guys envy you.
Suddenly a year later, dad starts talking like he wants to sell the Audi. “The old station wagon got you around just fine.” he says. After a few weeks of this you find he was just giving you a hard time - the Audi is now paid for and you get to put it through it’s paces for the next few years.
Perhaps just a taste of Tom was going through the last couple of months.
