Tom Casale is a former writer for Patriots Football Weekly who recently left in order to blog for Pregame.com, a gambling website.  Posting as "Tommy Rider," he spilled his guts on the Pats organization.  Please note: guts may include a lot of shit.

–Tedy Bruschi is much more popular with the fans than he is with his teammates. He isn't the team leader people think he is. Actually, Bruschi rarely talks to any of his teammates… Bruschi is just an unlikable person in general and I think his teammates know what's what and get sick of his act. He created an image that he presents to the public but his teammates know better…

–Corey Dillon is about the most miserable piece of shit you would ever want to encounter.

To be fair, Casale also praises the organization and several players, but nothing comes close to this doozy: the notion of a Bill 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.

RAWR!  Hell yes Bill Belichick has tape of himself having sex.  How else is he supposed to study his tendencies and eliminate weaknesses?  He just has to be the best fucking coach ever. 

Note: I strongly recommend reading the comments on Casale's post.  Judging by most people's reactions, he's one of the more vile, underhanded people to ever walk the earth.

led Boston past the Pistons 88-79 in Game 1.  I've looked for some other interesting aspect to the game, but that's pretty much it… In the draft lottery, the Bulls flipped a 1.7% chance of getting the top pick into… getting the top pick.  Listen people, Michael Jordan is not walking through that door.

MLB — Alex Rodriguez hit a home run in his return from the DL, but it wasn't enough to staunch the first-inning seven-run hemorrhage that Mike Mussina allowed as the Orioles cruised to a 12-2 victory.  The Yankees have now lost four in a row and six of seven.  Tee-hee! … John Lackey returned to the Angels' rotation and threw seven innings of one-run ball to get his first win since last September, a 3-1 decision over the Blue Jays… Pinch-hitter extraordinaire Greg Dobbs came through with a bloop RBI single in the ninth to help the Phillies edge the Nats 1-0.  Cole Hamels struck out 11 over seven innings in the no-decision… Jorge Campillo and Tom Glavine pitched gems as the Braves swept the Mets in a doubleheader.  Really?  Two games of baseball in a single day?  Just thinking about it makes me tired.

So, here's a story that's not very interesting but is still making the rounds because a lot of sports fans hate the Patriots and also hate gays, or they are gay and like the Patriots, or they aren't necessarily homophobic but still call things like the Patriots "gay." 

Anyway, a photo of Bill Belichick was placed on the cover of Boston Spirit magazine, and it was somehow relevant because the mag had a discussion about the possibility of an athlete coming out of the closet.  I'll let MJD explain:

In fact, the article inside, about whether or not the city of Boston is ready to accept a gay athlete, has little to do with Belichick at all. They put Belichick on the cover, because, according to publisher David Zimmerman, "He is currently the most recognizable coach in the New England area."

Right, got it.  Out: rainbows, pink triangles.  In: recognizable coaches.  And if a recognizable coach comes out, then coaches are even more in!  I think.  I'm not really in step with gay culture.  Although Jersey Boys?  Simply FABULOUS!

We're well into Day Five of Patriots Imperfection, and the haterade is still flowing freely.  KSK has taken a shot at the protest petition by Pats fans of the final 1:40 of the Super Bowl, and SportsPickle's excellent take on the New England loss claims it was merely the most diabolical Belichick plan yet.

And this video is just kinda awesome because the guy does a solid Belichick impression, and I like the idea of Mutter McPursylips losing his mind at a press conference. (Fun fact: the actor is Whit Hertford, and you may remember him from Jurassic Park as the whiny kid who looks at the velociraptor skeleton and says, "That's not very scary. More like a six-foot turkey."  Now try to imagine Belichick saying that line.  Awesome, right?)

If you couldn't make out the dialog through the excellent YouTubing of the pictocube, the transcription is:

REPORTER: "Champ, Champ, Talk about your Beantown offense in the second half. They treated the boys from Big D like a couple of flapper girls who were a little loopy on the old gin and juice."

BELICHICK: "Next question."

Yes, I suppose Dallas' secondary did appear to have the heebie-jeebies from too much giggle water.  Dreamboat fielded a similar question in the locker room:

REPORTER: "Champ, Champ, Champ, talk about the touchdown pass to Donte' Stallworth. It looked like you two were doing the Jitterbug while the Dallas secondary was doing the Charleston." 

BRADY: "Is that right? I don’t know what the hell that means but, it was great route and it’s easy to throw it when he’s that wide open. Great question."

It seems Tom Terrific isn't up to speed on his '20s lingo.  We at With Leather would have liked to see him come back with the following response:

"The Charleston, huh?  That reminds me of the time my pal, who was a bell bottom from Baltimore, asked me if I would escort this bearcat with a well-built chassis he knew. 'And how!" I say, and I throw on my glad rags and navigate my flivver over to where she flops.   But what do I find when I arrive, but a fire extinguisher with cheaters on the doorstep with this baby vamp. 'Aw, applesauce!' I think. 

"The old bird called me dewdropper, but I told her to mind her potatoes. I knew then the speakeasy was out, so I took them to the petting pantry to see Jolson's new talkie. The doll had gams that were the berries, so I kept slipping hooch into the flat tire's phosphate until she was ossified, and me and the deb ankled it out of there to the nearest gin mill. The Lindy Hop was the cat's pajamas then, so after we got an edge from the coffin varnish, we hit floor.  And let me tell you, that little hoofer got her wiggle on and the whole juice joint was chanting 'Get hot!'. After a few more slugs and smudges, it became clear this Jane was scouting for a sugar daddy because when I ran low on clams she told me the bank's closed.

"'Tell it to Sweeney' I say and pull out my hope chest, and this big six at the door, who was a harp I knew, asks me to butt him. I oblige and notice a chopper in his mitt. 'Everything's jake' I say, and he tells me the bulls are out, and, just then, the dicks bust in and the mick starts tapping 'em out with his Chicago typewriter. Well, I know my onions, so I 23-skidooed it. Anywho, I spent the rest of my kale on a quiff, and we played struggle buggy 'til dawn. What was your question?" -KD

I'm sure you've all watched the random-ass video the Chief shared in his Power Rankings yesterday.  Well, now we have this: 

Look, Patriots fans can be funny.  Who would've have thunk it? -KD
