Some things in life are better left unsaid, especially when they're unconfirmed. But what the hell, this is funny in a morbid sort of way. A former sportswriter who travelled with the Patriots posted his grand finale "last day as a New England Patriot" on his new blog last week.

Among other things, Tommy Rider writes that Tedy Bruschi is a complete jerk and woefully disliked by his teammates and far from the man the fans see. He also claims Bruschi isn't a team leader and the real team leaders are Tom Brady (mmm), Matt Light, Richard Seymour and Rodney Harrison. He goes so far to say that Harrison is the nicest guy on the team, which is kind of funny since he's one of the dirtiest players in the game.

Rider also writes that Corey Dillon is a miserable piece of feces and that Randy Moss is the best player he's ever seen - and a likable guy to boot.

And then we come to Bill Belichick, described by Rider as willing to kill his mother if it meant winning a football game.  That synopsis could probably be made by any football fan who follows the game closely.  What one would never conjure up is a Belichick sex tape.

I heard from someone who is close to the case that there is a sex tape of Bill Belichick banging the married woman he had an affair with. I shit you not. The husband who is suing that woman for being unfaithful to him has a tape of his wife and Belichick screwing while the two of them were still married. Belichick is a very powerful man so I imagine he's doing everything in his power to squash this from getting out but it could only be a matter of time. A part of me doesn't want to see it but another part of me can't help but be intrigued.

Wow. I can't figure out what's more stunning: that there might be a Belichick sex tape or that a former Patriots employee would be intrigued by it.  If Belichick really did star in a homemade movie of sorts, you'd have to think he executed with great tactics and used every advantage he could gain to put on a winning performance.

Roger Goodell has yet to comment on the matter, but I'm sure it'll be just a matter of time.

The 'Tommy Rider Expose' is another chapter in the ever-growing book of the  Post-Super Bowl Loss New England Patriots. A dark cloud has been hanging over the franchise since losing to Eli Manning's team. The first month after the loss Belichick and the organization were put under more scrutiny for allegedly videotaping Rams practices.  They were sued by Willie Gary, the former Rams DB who finished his career with 7 tackles, for their "illegal" efforts in Super Bowl XXXVI and along the way, Matt Walsh become a household name.

As far as the players go, 2nd year cornerback Willie Andrews was arrested 3 days after the Super Bowl in Arizona for possessing a half-pound of marijuana.  A 1/2 pound isn't an amount you intend on smoking, it's evidence of intent to distribute.  That's what Willie was charged with, along with driving an unregistered motor vehicle.  Prosecutors noted Andrews had $6800 in cash along with no marijuana smoking devices.  Naturally, Andrews pleaded "not guilty" to the intent to distribute charges and awaits a court appearance March 18th.

Then one of the faces of the Patriots, Kevin Faulk, was cited for possession of some green, which officials noted came in the form of 4 "hand-rolled cigars".  The kicker was that Faulk was arrested at a Lil Wayne concert in Louisiana as part of a comprehensive search of all concert-goers which I find terribly unfair.  Searching people for pot at a concert is the equivalent of searching for Easter eggs when a basket of eggs is right in front of you (or something like that).  

The Pats also said good bye to linebacker Roosevelt Colvin, who, in his first season with the Pats in 2003, missed 14 games with a hip injury, and missed the remainder of the '07 season from November 26th onward.  Also released was linebacker Oscar Lua, who missed all of 2007 with a knee injury.  It's notable because a) it proves that if you're injury-prone, the Patriots (and many other NFL teams) will treat you like dirt and b) picturing Bill Belichick speaking to a man named "Oscar" in his office is humorous.  The transactions followed Zach Thomas' shunning of the Patriots.

And of course, the Pats let Donte Stallworth go, nullifying any validity to long term contracts in the NFL.  Stallworth signed a 6 year $33 million deal last offseason, with an option for year 2 and beyond.  Essentially, the Pats could have signed Stallworth to a 6 year, $45 billion deal with the same options and all would have been fine.  I guess the Patriots really didn't care THAT much for Stallworth's abilities, even though in 2007 he was portrayed as "the most dangerous of the Patriots receivers in the open field", which was code for "we don't have any descriptive role for him because he doesn't understand plays and isn't as good as Moss and Welker".

And hey, if you need Oxycotin, Nick Kaczur can hook it up.

What I'm trying to say is that a Bill Belichick sex tape is no longer a pipe dream, it's reality. It has to be. Wearing a hoodie and nothing else, Belichick will ensure no one will ever forget the New England Patriots.
