Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

If you haven’t seen this article regarding the Patriots still trying to trademark the “19-0″ slogan, despite going 18-1 last season. Well it got me thinking of what other slogans would be good for other Boston sports team:

A disgruntled Rod Rust walking into the Patriots’ locker room waving a two-by-four? No. Gisele misusing the swinging sex chair and wrecking Tom Brady’s back? No. All the bad karma of every Rodney Harrison cheap shot finally coming back to haunt him? No.

9-6 and 2-1 in the overall picks and Best Bets, respectively.
