First post to the new blog, might as well talk Pats.
Espn Boston's Mike Reiss is reporting that not only is Deion Branch coming back to New England for another shot at the title, he is taking a pay cut as well. The pay cut will put his base on par with Wes Welker's ($2.15 million for 2011).

This move is sensible considering they will be the new one two punch, along with the young tight ends making an impact I'd say our passing game won't suffer too much without Randy. The Patriot's are showing that they want to take it back to basics, no high payed divas, and they are also lining up a draft next year that will put us back on top of the NFL soon enough, which is good because I think Tom's other fingers are getting a bit warm without any rings on them.
This is why the Pat's giving up Randy Moss will turn out to be a good deal. Now we have a good receiver who will take a pay cut AND won't be an idiot every time his contract is about to be up.
We'll see what happens in a crucial game this week against the Ravens but if past performance is any indicator, we got rings on the way, the Brady to Branch connection is back, and I for one say thanks Randy, but if you would rather play for a team a year past its prime, and catch some passes from the ancient Wrangler man himself, have fun.
I do have to admit though, I am a cash and carry kinda guy as well
