PATRIOTS (-10) over Dolphins
Had my first "Could Maroney end up being the most exciting Patriots player of all time?" conversation with my buddy J-Bug this week. Went extremely well. But even we weren't as excited as Patrick from D.C., who asks, "What's the Laurence Maroney corollary to the Papelboner? Whatever it is, I have one." The Laurection? I dunno.
As for the Dolphins, lost in the sweeping incompetence of Culpepper and Mularkey -- quick aside: how can you run a halfback option pass for a game-tying two-point conversion and keep your job? -- has been the decline of poor Zach Thomas, who can't keep up with any fast tight ends or shifty running backs anymore. Watson, Graham and Maroney are going to eat him alive Sunday. It's going to be like the scene in "Rollerball" when the three Tokyo guys teamed up on Moonpie. Throw in the Culpeppocalypse and I'm laying the points.
(Question: Do you think Nick Saban lies awake at 3:30 in the morning talking himself into the Joey Harrington Era and telling his wife, "You know, he was saddled with the worst receivers in the league in Detroit … and the crowd never gave him a chance … and he had three coaches in four years … and if his name was 'Joe' instead of 'Joey,' he'd sound much more competent … " as his wife keeps mumbling, "Go back to sleep, honey, go back to sleep."?)
