the Patriots should sign Peterson

It's Monday, which means you're back at your evil desk and desperate for some kind of distracting football news you can read instead of working.  But, all you get is a little nugget that the Chargers are preparing to take Rivers to the wood shed, and the fact that Peterson is headed to New England to have Belichick stare into his soul.

The Patriots should totally sign Peterson.  What do they have to lose?  Nobody else wants Peterson.  Or, perhaps more accurately, nobody else wants Peterson at the money he's asking for.  Perhaps the Patriots could apply a title discount.  It might be Peterson's last shot.  The Patriots are going to be a creepy favorite to repeat next year.  Why not?

If Peterson has anything left in the tank (other than camel urine), can you imagine how scary the Patriots offense becomes when you also throw Cooks into the mix?  I can't.  So the Patriots should sign Peterson.  And the rest of us can have another reason to further hate New England, while they bask in their awesomeness.

I'm so very sorry you're here

Well, the new league year starts at 4pm Eastern today.  We've done this before.  We've done a terrible, mindless NFL blog before.  It didn't quite work out, but it was a lot of fun.  So we'll try it again.

If you're here, then I'm sorry.  I'm so very sorry you're here.  For there are better things to do with your time.  Or better places to visit.  But at least (hopefully) you can enjoy your brief time here.  Or maybe learn a little about this great game.

For here you shall find knowledge.  And like my other degenerate hovel, the knowledge ye shall find here is mind boggling.  So strap yourselves in.  It's football!  It's lunacy!  It's awesome.  Enjoy life.
