"It's your basic Statue of Liberty play with one twist: you throw it to me! Knute Rockne called it the forward pass." Patriots' fans are agog about this, but even Krusty the Clown and Boise St. could run this play. I'd rather watch the video after the jump . . .

And people wonder why Duke is so hated in the college basketball world. Might need a recount for some of those Golden Globe Awards, as Duke’s Greg Paulus gave an overdramatic (to say the least) performance against Florida State on Wednesday night (hat tip: Awful Announcing)…
OK–this video’s a bit old (it’s from last Saturday’s Patriots-Jaguars game), but it’s still well-worth posting. Check out Tom Brady’s excellent “statue of liberty” play fake, which resulted in a Brady-Welker connection for a touchdown…

sportaphile.com 1/11/2008 — The fact that Wes has Randy Moss on one side, and Stallworth on the other side to occupy the opposing teams best cornerbacks didn't matter much to Skip. The fact that Terrell Owens had almost double the amount of touchdowns that Welker did didn't matter much either.

boston.com 1/13/2008 — When Patriots QB Tom Brady connected with WR Wes Welker on a 6-yard touchdown in the third quarter, the play included an element of trickery. Brady was in the shotgun and he faked as if it was a direct snap to RB Kevin Faulk. While tucking the ball behind him, he raised one arm over his head to create the look of a direct snap to Faulk. Brady then loaded and fired the strike to Welker. ...

Donte' Stallworth Has An Alien Alter Ego, Is Also Insane
FanIQ.com 1/16/2008 — Donte' Stallworth has pretty much been the forgotten wide receiver in New England's passing game this year. One could blame that on the fact that he has to play with Randy Moss and Wes Welker, or one could blame it on the fact that he has an alien alter ego. Um, what?

Wes Welker Started NFL Career in San Diego, Chargers Could Use Him This Weekend — FanHouse
You think the Chargers could use Wes Welker this weekend? Welker actually started his NFL career in San Diego; the team signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech in 2004, and he made the roster out of training camp. That lasted a week, when the Chargers waived him to make room for safety Clinton Hart . Seems ridiculous in retrospect, but who the hell knew Welker would be one of ...

Lessons learned from Divisional weekend — J-Beanie Sports
What we learned this weekend about the NFL while watching the Divisional playoff games (besides the fact that I’m the worse predictor in the history of the NFL playoffs).

Or Ryan Grant.
The more it snowed, the stronger the Pack became.

Wes Welker: Most Valuable Patriot — Bleacher Report
Many people seem to believe that Randy Moss is the most important player the Patriots acquired in the offseason.

Welker led the Patriot receivers with a game-high nine catches for 54 yards and a touchdown.
