Will The Hating Ever Stop?

Will people ever stop hating on the Patriots? Its like people don’t have nothing better to do than to talk shit about them. At the beginning of the season after the Jets loss every one was writing them off.. The Patriots are washed up.. Brady has lost his magic.. This is a completely different team than the one that won those three Super Bowls, The dynasty is done.. Now they go and beat the unbeaten Ravens and Ray Lewis is crying like always because he cant beat the Patriots. Making excuses and blaming the refs. All the Patriots haters have followed saying the league protects Brady too much and that those roughing the passer calls cost the Ravens the game. And maybe they did and maybe they didn’t. We will never know. What we do know is that those calls were made because that is the rule. Maybe the rule is a little soft and over the top but that is the rule. I could see why people would complain if Brady was the only one getting those calls but the Patriots are getting penalized for those same calls. The Ravens have been whistled for that call 4 times this year. That is the most in the league followed by the Patriots with 3. So why is everybody singling out the Patriots here? But then again I guess that is the price you have to pay when you’ve been the best team in the league for the past decade. Everyone will always hate on the best. Its a proven scientific fact.

And save me the crap about them being done because everyone know damn well they’re not. Teams still circle that game one their schedule when they have to play the Patriots for a reason. The knees of apposing fans start shaking when their teams play the patriots because no matter how beat up they might be at the time that is still almost an automatic loss for their team. Is anyone really going to tell me that they would want to play the Patriots in the playoffs?.. I didn’t think so.

PS. Ray Lewis gave a list of things he was embarrassed about on Sunday. I don’t know if he forgot to mention this but maybe he should be embarrassed about never being able to close against the Patriots. Maybe he should be embarrassed about always crying like a little girl afterwards and blaming everyone one else for the loss but himself and his team. Maybe he should be embarrassed that his teammate couldn’t make a crucial catch on fourth down with the game on the line. Oh and did I mention that he was wide open? How about that the ball hit him right in the chest?… I guess I just did.

Show Some Respect!

ESPN.com: NBA Power Rankings. 12 - Utah Jazz - This season can't be as chaotic as the last, when Utah had all those free agents-to-be and countless injuries. But the lingering uncertainty about Boozer's future and the lack of new blood are sufficiently disconcerting.

Nobody is giving the Jazz a chance this year. I mean nobody. I know its only the preseason and it doesn’t really matter what these pundits think because most of the time they’re wrong anyway but I’m curious. I’m curious how the Jazz are going to do this year. I mean nobody is giving them a chance but hey, what’s new right? But look at the team we have. We have a very talented team and a lot of depth on the bench. The problem is we have a couple of guys who play their ass off every night like D Will and P Mill and then we have guys like Boozer and AK who frustrate the shit out of me just about every other game with their lack of effort. Not to mention the inconsistent play of Okur and Korver. Memo will come out and score 25 points one night and go 2 for 9 and score 5 points the next.

Our depth goes well beyond our starters though. Sloan made a mistake last year in not playing Ronnie Price more but I think he learned form that mistake. Price could be very good this year coming off the bench for Williams. Miles still has a way to go but he seems to improve every year. Korver needs to do more this year than just shoot free throws and Harpring is getting older but still very valuable coming off the bench.

Brewer can’t shoot we know that but he’s a decent defender and very athletic. He’s an important asset to our fast break game. If Carlos Boozer can come out and play his ass off, this being his contract year and all… If we find a way to motivate AK to play like we know he can… If we could get Memo and pretty boy Korver to be a little more consistent… And if D Will and Millsap keep doing their thing this team could surprise a lot of people and make a serious championship run…. If, if, if… Yeah I know.
