Super Cut...a Pats story


Now that Super Bowl XLVI is over and people outside of New York and Massachusetts can come out of hiding and slowly turn their televisions back on…it’s time to examine the most interesting story from Giants vs Pats II..

Broadcasters discovering and reminding the American public that you can’t spell elite without Eli…no.  A good portion of the country can read, and spell. Go figure…

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick looking mortal (3-2 in Super Bowl’s) No. Brady looks like a male model and Bill looks like an angry homeless person..still.

The story actually came before the Giants 21-17 victory on Sunday night. It happened the night before. That’s when the Pats cut little known and used wide receiver, Tiquan Underwood.  Underwood might be most recognizable for his performance at this year’s Super Bowl Media Day. The journeyman pass catcher caught rave reviews for his personality and tall hair. He actually had a barber carve the Patriots' logo into the back of his hairdo. (And who wouldn’t want that..?)
That's fresh...

So, why cut him? New England not a fan of the new do?
Officially, the Patriots wanted another defensive lineman for the active roster. So when they released Underwood, they also announced that they had signed defensive lineman Alex Silvestro from the practice squad.

Insert inaudible mumbling here...
And if you’re saying who’s Alex Silvestro…you’re not alone. The most famous Silvestro I know stopped making “Rocky” movies years ago.. Only two New England defenders didn't get onto the field Sunday night, and Silvestro was one of them.

The timing is also curious…New England said Underwood could keep his Super Bowl bonus, but waited till Saturday night to release him. Most likely to prevent the Giants from claiming Underwood on waivers and using his knowledge against New England.

Good thing Underwood wasn’t excited about the game or anything..More deflating than Kirstie Alley on Dancing with the Stars.

But knowing what a genius Bill Belichick is…I assume he must have had a good reason to release the Rutgers Scarlet Knight.

And here are a few of my guesses…

Tiquan dropped and subsequently BROKE the video camera (see SpyGate)

Tom Brady found Tiquan’s shoes at Gisele’s place..

Tom Brady’s hair felt threatened…concerned Underwood had the prettiest locks on the team..

Tiquan stepped on Rob Gronkowski's ankle..

Tiquan asked to be cut so he could watch the commercials in their entirety…

NOT Tiquan Underwood, but he is on Twitter..
The Pats thought he was Chad Ochocinco..

Tiquan stole the batteries to the video camera (see SpyGate..again)

Tiquan wanted to perform with Madonna at halftime instead.

Underwood accused Wes Welker of having butterfingers..


Tiquan feared he would miss the beginning of NBC’s, “The Voice” if he played in the game.

Underwood was caught “Tebowing”…
