Yet another schmuck Patriot ball licker gets prime time love

The dork pictured above is Tom Curran, the Patriots beat writer for The Providence Journal and sometime NBC employee. Listening to him talk makes fingers down a chalkboard sound like warm ocean waves lapping up on a beach shore. And speaking of lapping up, Tom loves to swallow the Pats while, at the same time, takes unprofessional shots at the Colts.

Basically, he says the Colts are "questioning the integrity of the game" by resting starters this week against the Titans, and that doing so is worse than Patriots coach Bill Belichick getting caught for cheating against the Jets earlier this season. He also claims the Colts "lucked" into winning the Super Bowl last season.

Wow.

Again folks, this is the "mainstream" media reporting about our team, not some crazy blogger yelling into his web cam. Tom Curran works for a well-known newspaper and uses airtime on NBC's website to bash Tony Dungy, question the integrity of the Colts, and all the while making excuses for the Patriots. Nice objectivity, Tom. I guess it is only appropriate that a toilet wipe commercial opens your weekly picks segment. Schmuck.

What a douche
Why do the Redskins "deserve" to get in more than the Vikings but the Brown do not over the Titans.

This guy makes me want to go find him and make him eat garbage.

How do these "experts" become experts anyways?

oh my.....
How is it even possible for this douche to get a job as a sportsjournalist?
  1. He is clueless.
  2. He says that Belicheat doesn't look at his players, and say "You're better, you're gonna play -  you're not as good,  you're not gonna play" and THATS why the Patriots have "3 SB rings GOING on their 4th?" - and also why the Colts have "lucked" their way into winning the SB? JESUS CHRIST... can anyone hear how stupid that sounds? Ofcourse he is starting his BETTER players, because they play BETTER, and therefore win his cheating-ass some records..
  3. This douche has no knowledge about the game, since he can't understand why the Colts are resting their starters, in a game that doesn't matter at all - when they've lost shiteloads of starters. What is it really that he wants? Kyle VandenBull to break Mannings legs?
  4. This video segment just made me wanna scratch my eyes out, and i'm so infuriated.. I'll bet you that Patriots fans are hiding under their covers right now, embarrased.
Geez louise...

This is embarassing and infuriating...
How bad was it for the integrity of the game when Belichick played Cassel and lost their last game against the Dolphins and '05?  How bad was it for the integrity of the game when he told Flutie to drop kick an extra point in (although that was the year they eventually lost to the Steelers).  Someone needs to get this guy off of NBC.

What an idiot
It just goes to show how little the media watches games and how thet fcus on their own created storylines.  The end result is that the game will be decided on the field and they have no control of that.  They can, however, build up the Pats so high that the pressure on the Pats will eventually do them in.

heh
Just another example of how stupid one can be to be covering sports for their profession. These media morons are not experts and anyone who puts value in what they say is odd to me. Every week it is clearly shown that these media morons are incorrect most of the time so why would anyone care what they say? if they truly had a lot of football knowledge and were "experts" then they'd focking have jobs in the actual NFL.

It is amusing to me how once again a person in the "Pats camp" (fans are included) is shown to be a useless piece of trash. Obviously the IQ of a Pats fan can't go higher than 100. I also love how they simply can't accept the Colts beat them fair and square in the playoffs last season and the Colts got the Sb because they started to play like the best team in the NFL (which anyone with a functioning brain knows they are) when it mattered.

It would be a bit funny if Brady or another key player got injured tonight and would miss the playoffs and all these pats morons then start going crazy. Naturally though they'd blame the Giants for being cheap (since any negative regarding the Pats is someone else's fault as they are perfect and infallible) instead of blaming Belichick for going for something that is more ego driven than logical and having his starters be at risk.

I saw a link at espn today by len fatty about how the pats are hit by injuries and have to have 2 backups on the OL tonight. Yep, hit by injuries...the Colts have had nothing on the Pats this season.

Amazing but hey, this is why I don't give these guys my time because they are inferior to me, plain and simple.

I just can't take anyone
who looks so stupid seriously. What the hell is he doing on the picture? Starting to show with his finger how he can give Brady some love?
