The Manzielian Candidate

If there’s an upside to being seen as a devious underhanded cold calculating imp of Satan it’s that over time, your competitors see you as even more devious and underhanded and cold and calculating an imp of Satan than you actually are.

Cooler heads don’t always prevail. Thankfully, this time they did. Big Vince will be back in 2014.

Waiting By The Telephone

In between a dry unproductive hacking cough I thought would turn my face inside out. Yuck! The loss of Talib, the signing of Revis followed hard by Wilfork’s request to be released. There would be no restructuring of Big Vince’s contract, no cap relief. I’m reminded once again that everything ends badly or else it wouldn’t end.

Business is Business

Sometimes you can prepare yourself for the inevitable but when it happens, it’s still something of a shock.
