I'm pretty sure that my opinion of Drew Bledsoe is pretty well-known on Two Bills Drive. Is this an understatement?
I started a thread critiquing Bledsoe this AM that was greeted with a lot of consternation and knashing of teeth. My comments were meant to be light-hearted, to ignite a spirited debate on the board, and to tweak the Bledsoe apologists a little (hey, I'm being honest). My goal wasn't to offend, I swear. I love the good-natured back and forth and ripping on each other's teams, as well as the good, solid football talk. Part of the fun of being a sports-fan is busting on the opposition, IMO.
Even I can see at this point that my opinions regarding Drew are tired and have run its course.
So, for those of you who despise my Drew-bashing (and me), here it is: Consider my Drew-Bashing a thing of the past; I'm on Twelve-Step Statue recovery program. I'm admit I've been excessive in my vocal critique of 'ol #11, and I pledge to not unnecessarily or gratuitously slander Bledsoe going forward in any way. Any criticism of him will be valid, straightforward and as gentle as possible, I promise.
I hope you'll allow me these last words on the subject, if only to get it out of my system:
Statue, Albatross, Cerebral, patpatpatshufflesack.
My pledge starts... NOW.
I only hope the Dead Horse Beaters Club can forgive me.
