Before yesterday’s Jets win vs. the Patriots Wes Welker gave an interview that went a little something like this….

These are the games you play for. What you spend all year getting ready for and you just want to put your best foot forward

is putting its best foot forward

good little foot soldiers

You get the idea? Well, he was benched for the first series of yesterday’s game by Bill Belichick, who did not wish to comment on the situation. Now being benched for the first series wasn’t really a determining factor in the game, but it’s still somewhat strange. Then again, this is what we’ve come to expect from Belichick. He chucked Moss for his antics, the guy really doesn’t take any shit from anybody. Personally, I don’t think Welker was doing anything wrong, nor was he really being incendiary, he was just having a little fun. That’s not Bill Belichick, smiling is illegal on the Patriots.
