Deion Branch To New England Patriots? Why He Could (Kind Of) Replace Randy Moss

This is kind of cute...lol

Rumors have begun swirling that the New England Patriots may be pursuing Deion Branch in a possible trade to reunite the Seattle Seahawks receiver with his former team. This is according to the Boston Herald.

After the shocking news of Randy Moss' sudden trade from the Patriots to the Minnesota Vikings, it appears the Patriots aren't done making midseason moves to their roster.

All stories of the trade at this point remain speculative, but it can't hurt to speculate on what his return would mean to the New England Patriots.

It's quite obvious that Deion Branch doesn't have much left to give in his NFL career. His long history of injuries have hindered his production for the past four years or more, and he only has 13 receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown through four games this season.

That may be close to Moss' totals on the year (9/139/3), but make no mistake, Deion Branch won't have near the totals that Moss will finish with.

He won't haul in 1,000 yards or double-digit touchdowns.

He's not 6'4" and fast as a gazelle. He doesn't fix the Patriots current issue of a lack of a deep threat and a red zone threat.

But man, does he love the Patriots. He sobbed at the mere mention of his former team in a press conference this summer, as he recalled the great times he had with the team.

Branch and Tom Brady were linked almost by a psychic bond between them. This was never more apparent than in a 60 Minutes bit featuring the two. Tom Brady told the reporter what route he wanted Branch to run without telling Branch, yet he was able to figure out what route just from looking at Brady's eyes and his body language.

While that won't carry them to a Super Bowl, that kind of relationship with Brady will certainly make for a great example for the young receivers on the team.

Branch's departure from New England may have been similar to Moss', but his love for the New England Patriots runs deeper than many would think.

He would make the ultimate replacement for Randy Moss in the locker room. Ship out the guy who could only complain about his contract after a 38-24 week one win; bring in a guy who loves the team and the organization so much, he weeps at the thought.

It's all speculation at this point, but it would be fun to watch Deion Branch come back to New England and show the young guys what a real leader looks like.

turning back time

look at his hair. lol

farewell moss

i know that this has been over 24 hours ago but still...
You will be dearly be missed, moss. youve done the patriots a lot of good for the past 4 years. its kind of saddening and shocking when i wake up to news about you being leaving new england for the vikings. i don't know why you thought that you did feel "wanted" in new england when you didnt receive a contract offer when the season started. please dont think that way. do you know remember what youve done for the team the past couple years? youve helped make the patriots almost undefeated with a perfect regular season in 2007 and im sure they wouldnt have been able to do that without you. how could people forget that? regardless what happened the past couple of weeks, watching you play with the pats has been awesome. hope you do well in minnesota. also, please try not to cause too much unnecessary drama from now on.

get well soon

dear computer,
i know that some bad people has done some really bad things to you last night. im so sorry i couldnt be there to kick their ass and save you. but please don't give up, youre too precious to leave me like this. you can get through this.
love your owner,
j

don't fucking use my orange juice as chaser....its too good for that. you fucking owe me some good stuff and get it right this time. i only drink fresh orange juice not concentrated shit.

10 Breakout Performances of Week 4

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/482676-nfl-scores-10-breakout-performances-of-week-4#page/11

guess who is number #1?

No 1: Patrick Chung

Patrick Chung really brought his big boy shoes to the game last night against the Dolphins.

Chung recorded five tackles, blocked two kicks on special teams, and returned an interception to the house. He was all over the place last night and just made a ton of great plays for the Patriots last night. Chung single-handedly took the life out of the Dolphins last night.

Watching the game last night, Chung was the player who stood out for me. He was awesome last night.

No 2: Rob Ninkovich

Rob Ninkovich came into the game without an interception in his career, but he sure left with one after the game against Miami.

Ninkovich grabbed two picks and also had four total tackles in the Patriots' win against the Dolphins last night. The Patriots always seem to find guys like this, and I wouldn't be shocked to see him make some more plays down the line.

Bill Belichick just knows how to put players in positions to succeed.

WOOT! No 1& 2 are pats!

oops i forgot to mention ninkovich in my last blog. my bad...

please

as much as i love you and your team. please please please do me a favor and cut your hair. its not a good look for you. i can always come cut it for you if you wish. :) but please, your hair is getting disturbing. thanks.

What a glorious day

VICTORY!
What a great night in football! So, its time for some blogging...i even posted up some pictures (man, this is a good night)

Patriots vs. Miami 41-14

Early in the first quarter, i was really nervous about the 0-7 score because pats had a 57% favorite for winning which isn't that high. but, im extremely glad that things turned around for them and a great night to watch monday night football (well, i didnt actually watch it on live tv.).

things that was awesome-
wes welker continues to be awesome. 8 receptions in the whole game. i guess thats a pretty big night for him.

brandon tate's 104 yd kickoff return. wes welker usually does that return but i guess "baby tate" (as sneha likes to call him) did it just as well.

aaron hernandez, former gator, is turning into a great tight end for new england.

rob gronkowski, aka. gronny (another nickname from sneha), also doing some awesome stuff on the field. no interceptions this week for him but solid job.

man, i must say the rookie tight ends, hernandez and gronkowski are really working it.

randy moss's pink shoe laces-i guess its a breast cancer charity event but man, he's really into accessorizing on the field. like his pink shoelaces and his red gloves. that man must be a stud off the field as well. but i must say, he does cause some serious drama from time to time. playing wise, the one reception intended for him he missed and he wouldnt usually miss. so, perhaps not such a great game for him tonight.

benjarvis green-ellis- we may have lost our top RB, ken faulk, but benjarvis green-ellis certainly does this job. he was the top rusher of the game. there was a lot of rushing during this game and it was because of this man.

danny woodhead, new to the pats certainly did his job, caught a td. supposely a RB, but certainly can get the job done. recently released by the jets before week 2 of the reg. season (vs. pats), he certainly proves to be a potential star. so suck it, jets. we just let a good player go. but i must say, he is pretty small in size like wes welker. wow he looks smaller than welker. i guess good things come in small packages?
observe how small woodhand is in compared to everyone else?

kyle arrington turned a blocked field goal into a td. what can be more awesome than a 2 in 1?

but the greatest player of the night-

PATRICK CHUNG. yes, he was great. blocked a punt, blocked a field and caught an interception for a td himself. what more can he do. what could be great?! although only minimal amount of asian blood run in him, i feel proud to be a pats fan and also a chung. i wonder if we're some want related. lol probably not...

gotta also thank the miami special teams for the numerous errors they made. i hope it doesnt hurt too much and things will be ok in miami tomorrow.
I'm sorry whoever you maybe ( from the captions...im guessing youre yeremiah bell?), i hope you dont get yelled at tomorrow morning and thank you for making this game so awesome and letting my team do their job. its been great. and everything will be ok.

when belichick says, "DO YOUR JOB" well bill, they did their job! at least he smiled a little bit. lol but the mysterious man still stands.

Please smile, belichick. your team just got an awesome win. :)

in the words of sneha, "such a sexy game." well, it certainly is.

ok, that was long. toodles

i dont need you

where have you been all my life? don't dare give me this crap.
