“To that Patriots fan that called in last week and said that they might have the best defense in the NFL this year, Miami is getting ready to put up 42 points on them. The New England fans are leaving the stadium with 14 minutes left.” - September 22, 2008
Not quite 42, but it was close.
The Miami Dolphins marched into Foxborough and stomped the Patriots 38-13. Bill Belichick will definitely be throwing his tapes from that game away.
It can’t be a good day if you’re this guy/gal.
“I wonder what people will say this year about the Patriots when they set the record for the best defense in the league. Twenty points in two games. Last year, they set the record in offense.” - September 17, 2008

“I have been a Patriots fan all my life and it hurts to have Tom Brady get hurt in that way. We still have a really good team, we could be 12-4, 10-6 or 8-8, but we will probably 4-12.” - September 15, 2008
Cheer up, little duck. You were right the first time. The Patriots still have a really good team.
While they were probably looking at 13-3 or better with Brady, the Patriots are still a 9 or 10 win team. With the players that they have, against the easiest schedule in NFL history, there is no way that the Patriots will be 4-12.

“Hey, Steelers and Eagles fans, do not get too excited. You each played a high school team.” - September 9, 2008
This call makes me want to vote for Steven Jackson for Homecoming King. Can I ask a cheerleader to prom? I just hope Owen Daniels doesn’t stuff me into my locker.
If you think it’s creative or funny to insult some I-AA college football program or even Duke or Syracuse by calling them a “high school team”, so be it. But let’s draw a line at the National Football League. In the age of $100 million payrolls, every team has some form of legitimacy, and any time a team dominates an opponent 38-17 or 38-3, it demands some form of respect. After all, only one team has made it through an entire season unscathed.
Instead of resorting to the age-old weak-opponent argument, I encourage you to try something that better conveys how you truly feel.
“I don’t like the Steelers or the Eagles, and it worries me that one or both of them might be good this year.”
“Why do any fans in central Pennsylvania cheer for the Steelers or Eagles? I thought everybody (including the NFL) knows that this is Ravens country.” (sorry… couldn’t resist the inside joke… see below)
“Why were the Steelers on TV yesterday? Everybody knows that this is Ravens country. Even the NFL does.” - September 9, 2008
“I am completely depressed that Tom Brady got injured and is out for the season. I don’t think my Patriots will go 16-0 this year. I might need to find a new favorite team.”
