Patriots postseason hopes comes to a screeching halt.



**Thanks to Boston Barstool for the images**

I, along with the entirety of New England, witnessed what could be the end of any hope of the Patriots making far into the postseason. In a freak accident the NFL's leading receiver in catches, Wes Welker, tweaked his knee tearing his ACL and MCL. Brady's go to guy this season is now out for the rest of the season and possibly part of next year. Who's to blame here you ask? Belichick for playing him in a meaningless game? Absolutely not, this is the definition of freak accident, the first quarter of a week 17 game and he tries to make a cut and his knee buckles. New England fans have to step up and face the facts, God hates us this season and gave us our time in the sun. Now he's playing a cruel joke with this stunt. Brady, who knows alot about knee injuries spoke on WEEI today:

You can't replace him, there's no doubt about that," Brady said Monday in an interview on Boston sports radio station WEEI. "There's nobody that can substitute in for Wes and think that they're going to be Wes. He is everything you ask for.

"We've got to move on and we've got to go out there and play, and everyone I think in different areas has to pick it up. I have to play better, Julian [Edelman] has to play better, Randy [Moss] has to play better, the offensive line, running backs, tight ends, we all have to do more. I think that's the commitment we have to make to one another."

These are some big shoes for little number 11 to fill.

Chris Henry 1983-2009

From a story that at fist seemed like another Tiger Woods drama unfolding has taken a turn for the worse. Bengals wide receiver, Chris Henry, sustained injuries during an alleged domestic dispute with his fiancee. The dispute began at his home, roughly a half-mile from the site of the incident and ended with him falling out of a moving pickup truck. His fiancee was behind the wheel. There have been no arrests or reports of who the woman is, only speculation.

Often in the headlines for troublesome behavior, Henry was not the epitome of model athlete, but still a hell of a receiver and my condolences go out to his friends and family. He was 26.
