shot in the foot

i am offcially dumbfounded. the Patriots organization has let their kicker go--to their nemisis no less!--and had opportunities for the likes of Vanderjagt, Longwell, Edinger. and who do they sign?? Martin Gramatica. who wasn't even signed with a team last year. and whose success rate for field goals was 57% in 2004.

and i am left to root for a former Colt/Buc??

are they iceskating in hell yet? because i can't for the life of me figure out what the thought process is in Foxboro. maybe the Colts laced the water with something as a last ditch effort to eliminate the Patriots. there's *got* to be an explanation for the ridiculous decisions spewing forth from the Patriots management...but *I* haven't figured out what it is yet.
