If I'm wrong about him, oh well. If I'm right, I'm really smart.

Chad Ochocinco has brought fan interaction to a whole new level on Twitter...

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/254798-chad-ochocinco-brings-fan-interaction-to-a-whole-new-level-on-twitter

I think its about time for someone to have taken a positive stance on the issue.

Would love to get your thoughts if you get the chance.

Hey, Ken!

This is the capstone in my series on the New England Patriots. Of course, the final position on the list was quarterback. I'd love if you'd read and give some feedback!

Thanks again for all your input!

Why does Peyton Manning take so few sacks? What kind of role does do quarterbacks play in their own sack totals?

Dear , um, Ken,

William Berry 1 day ago
And Pat Patriot also went 1-15, an 2-14 (twice).

Yes, there were some good teams. Good LOSING teams.

1976, 1978, 1963 were good teams that LOST. AKA good losing teams.

Apology not accepted. (I doubt you'll apologize. Arrogance probably won't let you.)
