It definitely killed a lot of baggage the Pats have been carrying around, but I don't think this will hang around Wilson's neck unless they get back and can't get over the hump again. It's the slow burn as you remember what might have been that needs something like this to release you.

Have to clean up the lunch I spit out...

As a Pats fan, I was so depressed about this whole series of events, but now I think it's the best thing the Patriots have ever given the NFL. Balls.

America owes the Patriots an apology. They sacrificed theirs so we might have two straight weeks of wall-to-wall balls.

Actually, it sounds like they come to visit him so he can do his abusing in Texas where it's standard parenting, apparently.

Everyone references the hit to the nuts, but it's the defensive wounds on the hands that get me. A four year old child begging not to have flesh torn from their body. I guess it teaches some kind of lesson.

This knife analogy is perfect. A switch is tradition, so it's A-OK. But if he'd made the exact same marks with a butter knife or a rasp or his own finger nails - cruel and unusual.

You're not too swift, are you?

You're right, it is sexist. If it had been a man, Rice would be in jail and sued to the moon and back.

I'd say this is high level trolling, but you're probably a very short man.
