You're over-selling Lastings, but your point remains a solid one: Omar Minaya is not very good.

I'll admit, I'm playing toward the ceiling of Milledge's potential, yes.

But it's still his potential.

The players he was traded have proven where they topped out at.

Solid back-ups, journeyman millionaires, rich off their polite mediocrity.

Who knows what he could have been, still could be?

Or, perhaps, I just identify with prodigies who've been kicked to ground for not paying off immediately and  for being loud-mouthed and over-enthusiastic while they were not immediately paying off.

Perhaps I grew up, too, in orange black and blue. Forty-four being the number of Syracuse Orangemen, the number of Mark Twain's Mysterious Stranger and the number he wore on his back when he was in Queens, when they could've been kings.

Y'know. Just perhaps.

Have I mentioned that Bill Belichick is a Sith Lord here yet?

Because he is.

He's usually better at hiding it, though.

Quite a lot, actually.  Before the Patriots game there was apparently a lot of sniping in the press how the offense wasn't carrying its load.  After the game, when asked about the stupid 4th-down timeout (called by the defensive coordinator, actually), and the defensive guys were just like "That's something the coaches did.  I can't say anything about it."

Did I somehow fluke into the 6-seed with a record of 6-7-1... or did I do my math wrong?

Acap: I was thirsty one day and I sat down. A year later, Jack's was built around me and thirst is a recurring thing.

Hey, I ain't braggadoshin'. I'm seriously surprised.

I really sucked at first and if I somehow squeaked into the playoffs at the end... with a hair below .500 record no less... I'm more surprised than proud.

I suppose this means Just Vince Young misses the playoffs by a hair. Not bad considering I made one move all season, and that was to pick up the wrong Adrian Peterson.

He should be a well rounded criminal by then.  All kinds of networking should be available to him.
